English NOTE: All compressed air systems generate condensate that accumulates in any drain point (e.g., tanks, filter, aftercoolers, dryers). This condensate contains lubricating oil and/or substances which may be regulated and must be disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations. 1. Ensure engine ON/OFF switch (C) is in the OFF position. 2. Place a suitable container under the drain valve to catch discharge. 3. Grasp black lever on drain valve. WARNING: Risk of bursting. Drain air tank daily. Water will condense in air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture. NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Drain water from air tank may contain oil and rust, which can cause stains. 4. Slowly rotate lever to gradually bleed air from air tank. 5. When air tank pressure gauge reads 10 psi, rotate valve to the fully open position. 6. Close drain valve when finished. Compressor Pump Oil (refer to Fig. 4) WARNING: Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Tubes, 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. NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Use air compressor oil only. Multi-weight automotive engine oils like 10W30 should not be used in air compressors. They leave carbon deposits on critical components, thus reducing performance and compressor life. NOTE: Use synthetic blend non-detergent air compressor oil. NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is approximately 16 fluid ounces (473 ml). Checking 1. Ensure engine START/RUN/OFF switch (C) is in the OFF Position. 2. The oil level should be to the middle of the sight glass (V). 3. If needed remove oil fill plug (K) and slowly add oil until it reaches the middle of the sight glass. Changing WARNING: Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Tubes, 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. WARNING: Drain tank to release air pressure before removing the oil fill cap or oil drain plug. 1. E nsure engine START/RUN/OFF switch (C) is in the OFF position. 2. A llow the unit to cool. 3. D isconnect spark plug wire. 4. D rain air tank. 5. R emove the oil fill plug (K). 6. R emove the oil drain plug (L) and drain oil into a suitable con- tainer. 7. R eplace the oil drain plug (L) and tighten securely 8. S lowly add compressor oil until it reaches the middle of the sight glass (V). 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. CAUTION: Overfilling with oil will cause premature compressor failure. Do not overfill. 9. Replace oil fill plug (K) and tighten securely. 18
