Compressor Pump Oil (Fig. 1)
CHECKING OIL
AWARNING: Hot surfaces. Risk of bum. Aftercooler, pump head,
and surrounding parts are very hot, do not touch (see the Hot
Surfaces identified in Fig. 2). Allow compressor to cool prior to
servicing.
1. Ensure engine ON/OFF switch (C) is in the OFF Position.
2. Place unit on a flat level surface.
3. Remove dipstick (K) and wipe clean.
4. Insert and remove dipstick without
threading dipstick into crankcase as
shown in figure.
5. Check the oil level on dipstick.
If oil level is at or below "Add",
oil needs to be added. Add DEWALT
synthetic oil to the proper maximum level as shown in figure.
NOTE: When filling the crankcase, the oil flows very slowly into the
pump. If the oil is added too quickly, it will overflow and appear to
be full.
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Overfilling with oil will cause
premature compressor failure. Do not overfill.
6. Replace dipstick and tighten securely.
CHANGING OIL
