Operation
□
Use the sight glass on the pump to determine the oil level.
□
Add oil to the pump if the oil level is low (3).
CAUTION:
Check for proper oil level before operating!
NOTE:
The pump oil level is max oil level (1), and the
middle of circle is recommended oil level (2).
NOTE:
Use SAE 30 industrial grade full synthetic motor
oil like Mobil 1
®
10W30.
NOTE:
Do not exceed the maximum oil capacity of
approximately 24 ounces.
NOTE:
For maximum pump life, drain and replace oil
after the first 50 hours of run time.
NOTE:
Do not use regular automotive oil. Additives in
regular motor oil can cause valve deposits and reduce
pump life.

Preparing for use

Starting up and breaking in the compressor
□
Before the first use it is important to break your compressor in
to maximize its performance and life.
□
Plug the air compressor unit (A) into an appropriate electrical
outlet.
□
Open the regulator valve fully.
□
The tank will not readily build up any pressure once turned on
because the coupler is not installed.
□
Moving the pressure switch (1) to the AUTO position to run the
air compressor unit (A).
□
Run the air compressor unit (A) for thirty (30) minutes at zero
(0) psi (under no load) to break in the pump parts.
□
After 30 minutes move the pressure switch (1) to the OFF
position, and turn the regulator valve to shut off air flow.
Install the coupler into the 1/4” NPT threads on the regulator.
The air compressor unit (A) is now ready for use.

WARNING:
Do not attach air tools to the open end
of the hose until start-up is completed and the unit checks
okay.
WARNING:
Never disconnect threaded joints with pressure
in the tank!
