ASSEMBLING THE COMPRESSOR
PUMP SHIPPED WITHOUT OIL. Fill pump to correct mark and check often. SAE-30 non-detergent
oil is recommended for general use.
•
Unpack the air compressor. Inspect the unit for damage. If the unit has been
damaged in transit, contact the carrier and complete a damage claim. Do this
immediately because there are time limitations to damage claims.
•
Check the compressor's serial label to ensure that you have received the
model ordered, and that it has the required pressure rating for its intended
use.
•
Replace the plastic cap (A, Fig. 3) on the pump head with the air filter (B)
included with the unit.
•
Locate the compressor according to the following guidelines:
a. Position the compressor near a grounded electrical outlet
(see GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS, page 12). Avoid using an extension
cord; use a longer hose instead.
b. The compressor must be at least 12 inches (31 cm) from any wall or
obstruction, in a clean, well-ventilated area, to ensure sufficient air
flow and cooling.
c. In cold climates, store portable compressors in a heated building when
not in use. This will reduce problems with motor starting and
freezing of water condensation.
d. Remove the compressor from the shipping pallet or carton and place it
on the floor or a hard, level surface. The compressor must be level to
ensure proper drainage of the moisture in the tank.
•
Connect an air hose to the compressor hose outlet. The tank will drop to the
kick-in pressure, the pressure switch will restart the motor automatically,
without warning, and the pump will resume compressing air.
