LUBRICATION
CAUTION
THIS UNIT IS SHIPPED WITHOUT OIL
IN PUMP! Follow lubrication instructions before
operating compressor.
Use oil shipped with the compressor. Do not use regular
automotive oil such as 10W-30. Additives in regular motor
oil can cause valve deposits and reduce pump life. For
maximum pump life, drain and replace oil after the first few
hours of run time.
The compressor pump takes approximately 280 ml (9.5 ozs.)
of oil. The sight glass, located on the crankcase portion of the
pump, is marked with "max" and "min" levels. Avoid
overfilling by adding oil gradually and checking the oil level
with the sight glass several times. Add enough oil to reach the
"max" level on the sight glass. Proper oil level is illustrated in
Figure 3.
15. Use a face mask/respirator when
spraying and spray in a well ventilated
area to prevent health and fire hazards.
16. Do not direct paint or other sprayed
material at the compressor. Locate
compressor as far away from the spraying
area as possible to minimize overspray
accumulation on the compressor.
17. When spraying or cleaning with solvents or toxic
chemicals, follow the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer.
