Compressor Pump Oil (Fig. 1)
CHECKING OIL
WARNING: Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. 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 (L) 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 D
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.
NOTE: The low oil shutdown sensors are very sensitive. You
must fill the engine and pump to the full mark on the dipstick to
inactivate this safety device.
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Overfilling with oil will cause
premature compressor failure. Do not overfill.
6. Replace dipstick and tighten securely.
CHANGING OIL
NOTE: Pump oil contains substances that are regulated and must
be disposed of in accordance with local, state and federal laws and
regulations.
