Oil Maintenance, Draining Moisture from the Tank, Air Filter Maintenance

Page 13 highlights

SAFETY Oil Maintenance Check the oil periodically for clarity. Replace oil if it appears milky or if debris is present, or every 6 months, or 100 hours of runtime, whichever comes first. In harsh environments such as high heat or high humidity, you will need to replace the oil more frequently. CAUTION! TO PREVENT INJURY FROM BURNS: Allow Air Compressor to cool before changing the oil. 1. Place a container under the Drain Plug. 2. Remove the Oil Breather Plug to allow air flow into the Pump. 3. Remove the Drain Plug, allowing the oil to drain into the container. 4. When the oil is completely drained from the Pump, replace the Drain Plug. 5. Fill the Pump with new SAE 30W, non‑detergent, Air Compressor Oil to the FULL level on the Oil Sight Glass (12 oz.). 6. Replace and tighten the Oil Breather Plug. 7. Discard the old oil according to local, state and federal regulations. Draining Moisture from the Tank The Drain Valve is located under the Tank. It must be accessed daily to release all trapped air and moisture from the Tank. This will eliminate condensation which can cause tank corrosion. CAUTION! Do not open the Drain Valve so that more than four threads are showing. 1. Turn the Power switch of the compressor off. 3. Unthread the Drain Valve two or three turns ONLY. 2. Place a collection pan under the Drain Valve. 4. When all the pressure and moisture is released, close the Drain Valve. Air Filter Maintenance Check the Air Filter weekly to see if it needs replacement. If working in dirty environments, you may need to replace the filter more often. 1. Remove the Air Filter. 2. Replace with a new Air Filter. SETUP OPERATION MAINTENANCE Item 69667 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 13
