To Add Oil To Pump

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS AIR COMPRESSOR WITHOUT FIRST ADDING OIL TO THE

CRANKCASE. Serious damage can result from even limited operation unless filled with oil and broken in correctly. Make sure to closely follow initial start-up procedures.

COMPRESSORS ARE SHIPPED WITHOUT OIL. A small amount of oil may be present in the pump upon receipt of the air compressor. This is due to plant testing and does not mean the

pump contains oil.

Multi-Viscosity motor oils, like 10W 30, should not be used in an air compressor. They leave carbon deposits

on critical components, thus reducing performance and compressor life. Use air compressor oil only.

NOTE: Use an air compressor oil such as SAE-30 (API CG/CD heavy duty

motor oil). Under extreme winter conditions

 

B

use SAE-10 weight oil.

air pressure before

Make sure air vent (B)

 

 

in dipstick is free from

 

 

debris. If air vent is blocked pressure

 

 

can build in crankcase causing damage

 

 

to air compressor and possible personal

 

 

injury.
