Compressor lube

[mhb285]

Where does one / how does one get oil into the compressor system?
What type of lube, the type used in jackhammer compressors?
This is my next item to service.

Oil?

mhb285,

The air compressor on the engine is lubricated by the engine oil in the crankcase.

The airpack should be lubed with tool oil once a year. If you need instuctions on where and how to lube the airpack, just ask!

Thats what I want! I guess I need to be a little clearer on that.
Where can I finf the instructions in lubing the air pack?
Thanks
Mike
