dryers). This condensate contains lubricating oil and/or substances which may be regulated and must be disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations.

1.Ensure engine START/RUN/OFF switch (C) is in the OFF position.

2.Place a suitable container under the drain valve to catch discharge.

3.Grasp black lever on drain valve.

Warning: Risk of bursting. Drain air tank daily. Water will con- dense in air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the

2.Place unit on a flat level surface.

3.Remove oil fill plug (K).

4.Check the oil level. Oil should not exceed top raised line on side of crack- case. (Oil will be even with bottom of threads in crankcase fill port), if needed add DeWALT synthetic oil to the proper level.

5.Replace oil fill plug and tighten securely.

air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Drain water from air tank may contain oil and rust, which can cause stains.

4.Slowly rotate lever to gradually bleed air from air tank.

5.When air tank pressure gauge reads 10 psi, rotate valve to the fully open position.

6.Close drain valve when finished.

Compressor Pump Oil (Fig. 1)

checking oil

Warning: Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Aftercooler, pump head, and surrounding parts are very hot, do not touch (see the Hot Surfaces identified in Fig. 2). Allow compressor to cool prior to servicing.

CAUTION: Risk of Unsafe Operation. Overfilling with oil will cause premature compressor failure. Do not overfill.

NOTE: When filling the crankcase, the oil flows very slowly into the pump. If the oil is added too quickly, it will overflow and appear to be full.

Changing oil

NOTE: Pump oil contains substances that are regulated and must be disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal laws and regulations.

Warning: Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Aftercooler, pump head, and surrounding parts are very hot, do not touch (see the Hot Surfaces identified in Fig. 2). Allow compressor to cool prior to servicing.

1.Ensure engine START/RUN/OFF switch (C) is in the OFF position.

2.Allow the unit to cool.

3.Disconnect spark plug wire.

4.Drain air tank.

5.Locate a suitable container under pump drain plug (L).

6.Remove the oil fill plug (K) from crankcase­.

7.Remove the oil drain plug (L).

8.Allow ample time for all oil to drain out. (Tilting the compressor towards the drain plug will assist in draining.)

9.Install the oil drain plug.
