NOTE: Tilt tank forward to drain tank completely. Water will condense in the air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.
- Page 17 NOTE: Use a air compressor oil such as SAE-30 (API CG/CD heavy duty motor oil Under extreme winter conditions use SAE-10 weight oil. Slowly fill crankcase with oil. Crankcase capacity is 8 fluid ounces (236.6 ml). Oil level should be at the + (full) mark on the dipstick. Overfilling with oil will cause premature compressor failure.
