1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
2. Apply sealant tape to hose threads.
3. Assemble hose to air outlet (I).
IMPORTANT: Do not assemble
splitters directly to the air outlet (I).
NOTE: Assembling quick connect bodies to air outlet (I) and quick
connect plugs to hose ends make connecting and disconnecting
hoses simple and easy. Quick connect bodies and plugs are
available for purchase from your local dealer or authorized service
center.
DISCONNECTING HOSES
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
2. Remove hose(s) from air outlet(s) (I).
Lubrication and Oil
CAUTION: The compressor was shipped without oil in the
crankcase. A small amount of oil may be present in the pump
upon receipt of the air compressor. This is due to testing and does
not mean the pump contains oil. Do not attempt to operate this
air compressor without first adding oil to the crankcase. Serious
damage can result from even limited operation unless filled with
oil and broken in correctly. Closely follow
Initial Set-up under
Operation.
CAUTION: Multi-viscosity motor oils, like 10W-30, should not be
used in an air compressor. They leave carbon deposits on critical
components, thus reducing performance and compressor life. Use
ISO 100/SAE40, non-detergent, premium air compressor oil only.
1. Place unit on a level surface.
2. Remove dipstick (K) and slowly add ISO
100/SAE40, non-detergent, premium
air compressor oil (supplied).
NOTE: See
Specifications for pump oil capacity.
CAUTION : Risk of unsafe operation. Overfilling
with oil will cause premature compressor failure.
Do not overfill.
3. Replace dipstick.
Grounding Instructions
WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. In the event of a short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. This air compressor must be properly
grounded.
The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug.
1. The cord set and plug (O) with this unit
P
O
Q
contains a grounding pin (P). This plug
MUST be used with a grounded outlet
(Q).
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must
be installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
2. Ensure the outlet being used has the same configuration as the
grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
3. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there
are signs of damage.
4. If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or
if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded,
have the installation checked by a qualified electrician.
