WEN 22060 6 Gallon Horizontal Tank Air Compressor - Manual (Page 14)

Monthly
Inspect the air system for leaks by applying soapy water to all joints. Tighten these joints if leaks
are discovered.
6 Months (or after 250 hours of operation - whichever comes first)
Change Air Compressor Oil.
Note: Change the oil more often if your Air Compressor is used near paint spraying operations
or in dusty environments.
Checking the Air Compressor Oil
1. Place your Air Compressor on a level surface. The oil level should be at the red dot on the
Oil Sight Glass.
2. If oil level is low, remove Oil Breather Cap and add enough oil to bring the oil level to the
red dot on the Oil Sight Glass.
Changing the Air Compressor Oil
Note: This compressor uses only SAE 5W-30 motor oil.
1. Remove the Oil Sight Glass by turning counterclockwise with wrench.
Note: Oil will begin to drain as the Oil Sight Glass is loosened. Make sure a funnel and oil pan
are in place BEFORE loosening the Oil Sight Glass.
2. Once the Oil Sight Glass is removed, tilt your Air Compressor forwards to allow all the oil to
drain out of the Crankcase.
3. Once the oil is drained, replace the Oil Sight Glass and securely tighten in place with a
wrench. Be careful not to over tighten the Oil Sight Glass, as this could damage the rubber
seal.
4. Place your Air Compressor on level surface.
5. Remove the Oil Breather Cap.
6. Slowly pour the oil into the oil fill hole, until the oil level rises to the center of the red dot on
the Oil Sight Glass.
7. Install the Oil Breather Cap into the oil fill hole.
8. Always inspect Air Compressor before use, and make sure it is in good working condition.
Use compressed air to clean the machine where possible.
9. Check the power cable to make sure it is intact and free from cracks, bare wires etc.
