To Add Oil To Pump
A small amount of oil may be
present in the pump upon receipt
of the air compressor. This is due
to plant 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. Make sure to
closely follow initial start-up
procedures.
