3. before each use: Make sure to fill the Air Compressor with a premium quality, 30
weight, non-detergent oil. Running the Air Compressor with no oil or low oil will
cause damage to the equipment and void its warranty. When filling the Air Com-
pressor with oil, make sure to unscrew (do not pull) the Oil Fill Cap (28) to remove.
Fill with oil until the level of the oil rises to the midway point in the Oil Level Indica-
tor (35). Then, screw the Oil Fill Cap back onto the Oil Fill Hole. NOTE: When the
Compressor is running, some oil will escape the Oil Fill Cap bleeder; this is a
normal occurance. Periodically clean up this oil overflow. (See Figure F.)
NOTE:
4. Each time the Oil Fill Cap (28) is removed, observe the PCV Filter (41)
that is located inside the Oil Fill Cap. When necessary, remove the PCV Filter and
clean with a mild solvent. Allow the PCV Filter to dry. Then, replace the PCV Filter
