WEEKLY MAINTENANCE

 Clean air filter by opening air filter cap (F, fig. 1). Remove the filter element
and clean thoroughly with soap and water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to
dry completely before assembly.
 Clean breather holes on oil check dipstick.

MONTHLY MAINTENANCE

 I nspect air system for leaks by applying soapy water to all joints.
 Tighten those joints if leakage is observed.
 Check that all nuts and bolts stay tight.
AFTER 250 HOURS OR SIX (6) MONTHS
(whichever comes first)
CHANGE COMPRESSOR OIL
WARNING! Before any removing the oil drain plug (oil level sight glass) or the
oil breather cap from your air compressor,
always take the following safety precautions:
 Disconnect electrical power.
 Open the petcock to drain air tank of pressure.
1. Remove the oil level sight glass (D, fig.1 & 2). Use a 24 mm wrench. Allow
old oil to drain completely.
2. Replace the oil drain plug and gasket (we recommend also using a sealing
compound or tape to avoid leakage). Do not over-tighten.
3. Refill with the reservoir with SAE-20 (API CG/CD heavy duty),
non-detergent compressor oil or for extreme winter conditions, use
SAE-10 weight
4. The reservoir capacity is approximately 350 ml (11.8 fl. oz.). Fill to the red
dot in the oil level sight glass. Do not over-fill.
IMPORTANT! Replace oil more often if compressor is used near paint spraying
operations or in dusty environments.
CAUTION!
 All air line components (including hoses, pipe, connectors, filters, &
regulators, etc.) must be rated for a minimum working pressure of 150 psi
or 150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.
 Disconnect any tools from the air supply before performing maintenance,
clearing a jammed fastener, leaving the work area, moving the tool to
another location, or handing it to another person.
 When cleaning air filter, or any parts in direct contact with the air production,
do not use any flammable or toxic cleaner or solvent
 During the break-in period, nuts and bolts have a tendency to loosen up.
After two weeks, tighten all nuts and bolts including head bolts.
