OPERATION MANUAL
OILFREE COMPRESSOR

CAUTION:
Before using this product, read this manual first.

INSTALLATION & ASSEMBLY

WARNING

The air compressor should be turned off and unplugged from the power source
before any installation and assembly is performed as well as the air bled from
the tank and the unit allowed time to cool. Personal injuries could occur from
moving parts, electrical sources, compressed air or hot surfaces.

To Install the Air Intake Filter

Remove the assembly from the poly bag and thread the filter assembly onto
the head of the compressor.

Installing wheels

Install one shoulder bolt, washer, and one nut for each wheel using bolt holes
provided in the wheel bracket. The shoulder bolt will install from the outside of
the wheel through the top hole in the wheel bracket. Tighten securely with the
washer and nut position on the inside of the wheel bracket.

WARNING

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 push
up a ramp.

CAUTION

It may be necessary to brace or support one end of the air compressor when
attaching the wheels, because it will have a tendency to tip.

Lubrication and Oil

This compressor requires no lubrication or oiling. No break in procedure is
required by the user. This product is factory tested to ensure proper operation
and performance.
