4.5.1Topping Off the Oil Level
See 4.4 - Oil Capacity and Type on page 19 before adding oil. Also refer to 4.2 - Maintenance Tools on page 18 for information about the tools used in this procedure.

2.Remove the protective cap from the Schrader valve on either compressor suction fitting and connect the backseating control valve.
3.Connect one end of the oil transfer hose to the back- seating control valve.
4.Connect the opposite end of the hose to the oil transfer pump.
5.Pour PAO oil into a clean container and attach the extension hose to the threaded neck of the container.
