ASSEMBLY

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 use SAE-10 weight oil.

1.Place unit on a level surface.

Drain tank to release		B
air pressure before
removing the dipstick.		A
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.
2. Remove dipstick (A) and slowly fill
crankcase with oil. Crankcase capacity		(+)Full
is 6 fluid ounces (177.4 ml). Oil level	+
should be at the + (full) mark on the	-	(-)Add
dipstick.
NOTE: If the oil is added too quickly, it will overflow and appear to be full.
