To Add Oil To Pump
Risk of Unsafe Operation. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE
THIS AIR COMPRESSOR WITHOUT FIRST ADDING OIL TO
THE CRANKCASE. Serious damage can result from even limited operation
unless filled with oil and broken in correctly. Make sure to closely follow
initial start-up procedures.
Risk of Unsafe Operation. COMPRESSORS ARE SHIPPED
WITHOUT OIL. A small amount of oil may be present in the
pump upon receipt of the air compressor. This is due to plant testing and
does not mean the pump contains oil.
Risk of Unsafe Operation. Multi-Viscosity motor oils, like
10W30, should not be used in an air compressor. They leave
carbon deposits on critical components, thus reducing performance and
compressor life. Use air compressor oil only.
NOTE: Use an oil specifically formulated for use in an air compressor, such as
Porter-Cable PAS1 air compressor oil. Oil may be found at the store where the
air compressor was purchased.
1. Place unit on a level surface.
Risk from Flying Object.
Drain tank to release air
pressure before removing the dipstick.
See "To Drain Tank" in the Maintenance
section.
Risk from Flying Object.
Make sure air vent (B) in
dipstick is free from debris. If air vent is
blocked pressure can build in crankcase
causing damage to air compressor
and possible personal injury. See
Troubleshooting for correction.
2. Remove dipstick (A) and slowly fill
crankcase with oil. Crankcase capacity
is 6 fluid ounces (177.4 ml). Oil level
should be at the + (full) mark on the dipstick.
NOTE: If the oil is added too quickly, it will overflow and appear to be full.
3. Replace dipstick.
