Care and Operation of Compressor:
The piston-type compressor requires minimal maintenance.
Pre-lubricated ball bearings provide for delivery of oil free air.
APPLYING OIL TO ANY PART CAN RESULT IN REDUCED
PERFORMANCE AND MAY VOID WARRANTY.
The compressor is designed to release pressure at approximately
40 to 45 PSI. If it is not releasing, contact us immediately. You may
have a defective or damaged relief valve.
The air filter should be replaced whenever it becomes dirty or clogged.
OPERATE COMPRESSOR AT LOWEST ENGINE SPEED PRACTICAL.
