AIR INTAKE FILTER
The filter (N) is designed to clean air entering the pump. To ensure
the pump continually receives a clean, cool, and dry air supply the
filter must always be clean and the filter intake must be free from
obstructions.
INSTALLATION
Assembly (Fig. 1)
INSTALLING HANDLE
CAUTION:
Risk of personal injury. Avoid placing hands between
handle and top panel when assembling to prevent pinching.
1. Place handle (O) into bushings on top panel (Q).
2. Depress snap buttons and slide handle through first bushings
until it stops at second bushings.
3. Reach under top panel and depress snap buttons again and
slide through second bushings.
4. Pull handle all the way up until it stops. Turn knobs (P) to lock
handle in place.
IMPORTANT:
Always pull handle up and lock
in place before using as a dolly.
5. If not using the dolly feature, loosen knobs and push handle
down until it stops.
INSTALLING 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. Grasp the hose at the quick connect plug and push the
plug into the quick connect body (E). Coupler will snap into
place.
3. Grasp the hose and pull to ensure coupler is seated.
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. Pull coupler on quick connect body back to release quick
connect plug on hose.
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 10W30, should not be
used in an air compressor. They leave carbon deposits on critical
components, thus reducing performance and compressor life. Use
DeWalt synthetic or SAE 40, non-detergent air compressor oil.
1. Place unit on a level surface.
K
2. Remove dipstick (K) and slowly add DeWalt
synthetic or SAE 40, non-detergent 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.
