ASSEMBLY

Be sure to check over the 12-Voltair and inspect for any damages.

1. Side Latches

Use the provided 1/4” x 1” bolt, lock washer and nut to secure the anchor bracket to the 

outside of the compressor.  Once the anchor bracket has been secured use the 1/4” x 

1 1/4” bolt and 1/4” lock nut to secure the rubber hold down in-between the ears of the 

anchor bracket.

2. Quick Coupler

Install the threaded nipple and quick coupler into the right side of the compressor 

through the two holes of the 12-Voltair cabinet.

3.  Remove Service Panel

- remove the 7 screws that hold the front service panel on the 12-Voltair.  Once removed, 

there is no need to reattach until your installation is complete.  

4. Check Belt Tension

- Although the 12-Voltair has been shipped with the proper amount of belt tension, please 

check to make sure that it has not come loose during shipping.

5. Check Oil

- The 12-Voltair is not shipped with any oil.  It takes approximately 2 cups of oil to fill compressor to the 

full level on the dipstick.  Do not overfill.  See specs below on what oil should be used.

   

-20F - 70F (-7C - 21C)    10W non detergent compressor oil

   

50F - 110F (10C - 73C)    30W non detergent compressor oil

   

-20F - 110F (-7C - 73C)    40W synthetic non detergent compressor oil

Voltair recommends the use of synthetic non detergent compressor oil for year around use
