Pre-Operation (continued)
PLACEMENT OF THE AIR COMPRESSOR
WARNING:
If any parts are damaged or missing
do not operate this product until the parts are
replaced. Failure to heed this warning could
result in serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
Do not use in an environment that is
dusty or otherwise contaminated. Using the air
compressor in this type of environment may
cause damage to the unit.
NOTE:
Long lengths of electrical wiring could cause
power loss to the motor.
□
Place the air compressor in a clean, dry, and well
ventilated area.
□
The air compressor must be positioned at least 18
in. (0.5 m) away from the wall or other obstructions
that will interfere with the flow of air.
□
Locate the air compressor as close to the main
power supply as possible to avoid using long
lengths of electrical wiring.
□
The air filter must be kept clear of obstructions
which could reduce air flow to the air compressor.

INSTALLING THE AIR INTAKE FILTER
WARNING:
Drain the tank to release all the tank air
pressure before removing the oil fill cap. Be sure
the air vent in the oil fill cap is free from debris. If
the air vent is blocked, pressure can build in the
crankcase, causing damage to the compressor and
possible personal injury.
CAUTION:
Do not attempt to start the air
compressor without first adding oil to the
crankcase. Serious damage can result unless it is
filled with oil. The pump is shipped without oil from
the factory. Only use non-detergent oils since the
multi-viscosity motor oils leave carbon deposits on
pump components, thus reducing the performance
and compressor life.
□
Remove the plastic plug (1) from the compressor
head (2). Remove the air intake filter (L) from the
poly bag and thread it into the compressor head (2),
as shown.
