Instruction manual

Recommended Oil:
Eagle Compressor Oil: #EAOIL10 (1L)
#EAOIL40 (4L)
* Compressor originally filled with
SAE20W Oil (ISO 68)
Eagle compressor oil is a non-detergent
mineral oil formulated with additives to
help minimize carbon build-up, increase
ring life and reduce oil consumption. It
is for use at ambient temperatures of 0°
to 30° C (32° F - 86° F).
Other approved Oils:
Regular mineral oils can also be used in
Eagle compressors.
Always use a non-detergent oil with the
following specifications:

7. Filling Compressor with Oil
1. Remove the oil filler plug.
2. Slowly pour the proper oil into the
pump crankcase.
3. Always keep oil level in the middle of
the sight glass.
8. Oil Changes
Initial oil change is due at 100 hours.
Change the oil every 300 hours or 3
months, whichever comes first
1. Remove the oil drain plug. Allow oil
to drain completely.
2. Replace the oil drain plug.
3. Refill with the recommended oil to
the proper level.
9. Maintenance
Before doing any maintenance or
adjustments to your air compressor, the
following safety precautions should be
taken:
1. Turn off and lock out electric power.
2. Drain air receiver and air lines of air
pressure.
10. Checking Belt Tension
Adjust belt(s) so when pressure is
applied at the center, there is
approximately ½” slack (see diagram
below).
If the belt is installed too tightly, the
motor might be overloaded. This will
cause the motor to overheat. If the belt
is installed too loosely, it will slip and
excessive wear and vibration will occur.
How to Install a New Belt if Required
1. Disconnect power supply.
2. Remove belt guard.
3. Loosen motor bolts an slide motor
toward compressor head just enough to
allow the old belt to be removed.
4. Install the proper replacement belt.
5. Slide motor away from compressor
head to provided recommended tension
as shown in the above diagram.
6. Align belt using a straight edge ruler
against pulley’s edge.
7. Fasten motor bolts.
8. Ensure motor and compressor
pulleys are secure. Re-check
alignment.
9. Re-install belt guard and reconnect
power supply.
