Changing the Air Compressor Oil
Note: This compressor uses only SAE 5W-30 oil.
1. Remove the Oil Sight Glass by turning counter
clockwise with wrench.
Note: Oil will begin to drain as Oil Sight Glass is
loosened. Place a funnel and oil pan under the Oil
Sight Glass BEFORE loosening.
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.
Firmly hand tighten the Oil Breather Cap by
turning clockwise.
Always inspect the tool before use, and make sure
it is in good working condition. Make sure all air
vents are clear, (use compressed air to clean the
machine where possible). Check the power cable
to make sure it is intact and free from cracks, bare
wires etc. Avoid using solvents when cleaning
plastic parts, most plastics are susceptible to
damage from the various types of commercial
solvents.
