Air Starting Motor Oiler
The motor oiler lubricates the vanes of the starting motor with a fine oil mist as the motor is operating.Emptying Collector Jar
The collector jar collects both the oil after it has lubricated the starting motor vanes, and the moisture condensation from the compressed air. Empty the collector jar whenever the jar becomes half full. Filling Oiler Jar
When the oiler jar becomes half empty, remove the oil filler plug and fill the jar with clean oil. Refer to LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE CHART for proper oil.
Never allow the jar to become empty. The starting motor will be damaged by lack of proper lubrication.
