OPERATION

CHECKING THE OIL

See Figures 8 - 9.

The air compressor is pre-filled with the proper type and quantity of oil. However, it is necessary to check the oil level before each use, and add oil if needed.

NOTE: Always check the oil when the unit is sitting on a level surface.

nInsert the dipstick into the oil fill hole until it stops. Remove the dipstick and check the oil level.

nMake sure the reading is between the MIN and MAX reference levels on the dipstick.

NOTE: Never let the oil drop to a level lower than MIN. Maximum level is reached when the oil reaches the MAX level reference on the dipstick.

nReinsert the dipstick securely into the oil fill hole.

To add oil:

nRemove the dipstick.

nUsing a funnel, carefully pour oil into the oil fill hole. Refill only with synthetic oil SAE 5W40.

NOTE: Avoid using too much oil. Ensure that the level of the oil does not exceed the maximum reference level on the dipstick.

nReinsert the dipstick securely into the oil fill hole.
