Preparing for use
CAUTION:
Check for proper oil level before operating!
NOTE:
The pump oil level is full (1) as shown.
NOTE:
Use SAE 30 industrial grade air compressor oil or
full synthetic motor oil like Mobil 1® 10W30.
NOTE:
Do not use regular automotive oil. Additives in
regular motor oil can cause valve deposits and reduce pump
life.
NOTE:
For maximum pump life, drain and replace oil after
the fi rst hour of run time.
□
Use the sight glass on the pump to determine the oil level.
□
Add oil to the pump if the oil level is low (2).

Starting-up and breaking-in the
compressor
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!
□
With the power turned off, open the tank drain valve. The
tank will not readily buildup any pressure.
□
Return power to 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.
□
Shut power off to the air compressor unit (A), and turn the
tank drain valve to shut off air flow. The air compressor unit
(A) is now ready for use.
