CHECKING AND CHANGING OIL
Overfillng with oil will cause premature
air compressor failure. Do not overfill.
1. Check oil level in compressor crankcase
before each use.
a. For two stage compressors the oil level
should be to the middle of the oil sight glass
(the red dot).
2. Replace the oil after every 500 hours of opera-
tion, or at least once a year.
NOTE
The compressor pump oil must be
changed after the first 100 hours of
operation.
3. Remove the oil fill and drain plugs. Collect the oil
in a suitable container.
4. Replace the oil drain plug and refill the crankcase
with recommended oil. See page 10.
NOTE
It is important to maintain the proper
oil level. A low oil level reduces
proper cylinder wall lubrication and
increases ring wear.
5. Replace the oil fill plug.
6. Start the engine and run the compressor outfit
for several minutes. Shut the compressor down
and check the oil level. Add more oil if necessary.
CHECKING AND CHANGING AIR
INTAKE FILTER
NOTE
Keep the air filter clean at all times.
Do not operate compressor outfit when
the filters are removed.
MAINTENANCE (cont’d)
PAGE 13
The condition of the air intake filter should be checked
once a week. A dirty air intake filter will not allow the
compressor to operate at full capacity and will increase
oil usage.
When the air filter becomes dirty, oily, or covered with
paint overspray it must be replaced. To check and/or
replace the air intake filter, remove the wing nut secur-
ing the filter assembly to the air compressor pump.
Remove the filter. Inspect condition of filter, replace if
necessary.
NOTE
Felt and foam intake filters can be
washed in non-explosive solvent. Allow
to dry and reinstall. DO NOT OIL INTAKE
FILTERS.
DRAINING WATER FROM AIR TANK
Water will condense in the air tank. If
not drained, the water will corrode and
weaken the air tank. A weakened
tank may explode or rupture caus-
ing personal injury. Drain the tank as
instructed below.
Water should be drained from the air tank daily. If
humidity is high the tank should be drained at regular
intervals during the day. Operate the compressor
outfit to allow 15 to 20 psi air pressure in the tank.
Open the draincock. Continue operating outfit until all
moisture is removed from the tank. Close the
draincock tightly.
NOTE
If the draincock is clogged, release
the air pressure in the tank. Remove
the draincock and clean or replace.
Apply sealant to the threads before
reinstalling the draincock.
