To Assemble Wheels
It will be necessary to brace
or support one side of the
outfit when installing the wheels because the
compressor will have a tendency to tip.
1. Attach wheels with shoulder bolts and nuts as
shown.
2. Tighten securely. NOTE : The outfit will sit level if
the wheels are properly installed.
The wheels and handle
do not provide adequate
clearance, stability or support for pulling
the unit up and down stairs or steps. The
unit must be lifted, or pushed up a ramp.
Assemble Rubber Feet
1. Attach rubber feet with the screws, washers and
nuts provided as shown in previous figure.
2. Tighten securely.

To Add Oil To Pump
Compressors are
shipped without oil. A
small amount of oil may be present in the
pump upon receipt of the air compressor.
This is due to plant 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 limit-
ed operation unless filled with oil and bro-
ken in correctly. Make sure to closely fol-
low initial start-up procedures.
Multi-Viscosity motor
oils, like 10W 30, should
not be used in an air compressor. They
leave carbon deposits on critical compo-
nents, thus reducing performance and
compressor life. Use air compressor oil
only.
NOTE: Use an air compressor oil such as Sears 9-
16426 or SAE-20 (API CG/CD heavy duty motor oil.
Under extreme winter conditions use SAE-10 weight
oil.
1. Place unit on a level surface.
2. Remove oil fill plug (A) and slowly add a compres-
sor oil until it is even with the top of the oil fill
hole.
NOTE: Do not allow oil to be lower than 3/8"
(6 threads) from the top at any time. When filling
the crankcase, the oil flows very slowly into the
pump. If the oil is added too quickly, it will over-
flow and appear to be full.
NOTE: Crankcase oil
capacity is approximately 16 fluid ounces.
3. Replace oil fill plug.
