LUBRICATION
Prior to each use, make a habit of checking the pump oil level. Most direct-
drive air compressors have a dipstick with casting marks that indicate the minimum and
maximum acceptable levels of oil. Our belt-driven pumps have a sight gauge, located on
the outside of the crankcase, to make the task even easier. Always maintain the oil level
at the maximum mark on the dipstick or to 2/3 full in the sight gauge
Do not operate the pump with an inadequate or excessive amount of oil. The
cost of failures which occur due to incorrect oil levels will not be covered under
warranty.
