CHECKING THE COMPRESSOR OIL
1. Place Air Compressor on level surface. The oil level should be at the
red dot on the Oil Sight Glass.

the oil level to the red dot on the Oil Sight Glass.

CHANGING THE COMPRESSOR OIL

NOTE: This compressor uses only SAE 5W-30 motor oil.
Oil will begin to drain as Oil Sight Glass is loosened. Place a funnel and
oil pan in place BEFORE loosening Oil Sight Glass.
1. Remove the Oil Sight Glass by turning counter clockwise with wrench.
2. Once Oil Sight Glass is removed, tilt Air Compressor backwards to
allow all of the oil to drain out of the crankcase.
3. Once oil is drained, replace Oil Sight Glass and securely tighten in
place with a wrench. Be careful not to overtighten the Oil Sight Glass,
as this could damage the rubber seal.
4. Place Air Compressor on level surface.
5. Remove the Oil Breather Cap.
6. Slowly pour the oil into the oil fill hole, until the oil level rises to the
center of the red dot on the Oil Sight Glass.
7. Install the Oil Breather Cap into the oil fill hole.
8. Firmly hand tighten the Oil Breather Cap by turning clockwise.
