1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
2. Remove hose(s) from air outlet(s) (E).
Lubrication and Oil
NOTICE:
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.
NOTICE:
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
ISO 100/SAE40, non-detergent, premium air compressor oil only.
1. Place unit on a level surface.
2. Remove dipstick (K) and slowly add
ISO 100/SAE40, non-detergent, premium
air compressor oil (supplied).
noTE:
See
Specifications for pump oil capacity.
NOTICE
: Risk of unsafe operation. Overfilling with
oil will cause premature compressor failure. Do
not overfill.
3. Replace dipstick.
Grounding Instructions
WARNING:
Risk of electrical shock. In the event of a short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. This air compressor must be properly
grounded.
The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug.
1. The cord set and plug (O) with this unit
P
O
Q
contains a grounding pin (P). This
plug
MuST
be used with a grounded
outlet (Q).
IMpoRTAnT:
The outlet being used must
be installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
2. Ensure the outlet being used has the same configuration as
the grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
3. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there
are signs of damage.
4. If these grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly
grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified
electrician.
DANGER:
Risk of electrical shock. IMPROPER GROUNDING
CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
• Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available
outlet, a correct outlet should be installed by a qualified
electrician.
• Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified
electrician.
Extension Cords
Using extension cords is not recommended. The use of extension
cords will cause voltage to drop resulting in power loss to the
motor and overheating.
Instead of using an extension cord, increase the working reach of
the air hose by attaching another length of hose to its end. Attach
additional lengths of hose as needed.
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
