AND BLEED PRESSURE FROM THE AIR HOSE AND TANK BEFORE ATTEMPTING MAINTENANCE, ATTACHING TOOLS OR ACCESSORIES. ALWAYS OPERATE AIR COMPRESSOR IN A CLEAN, WELL VENTILATED AREA. AVOID ENCLOSED AREAS SUCH AS GARAGES, BASEMENTS, STORAGE SHEDS, ETC., WHICH LACK A STEADY EXCHANGE OF AIR.

HAZARD THE ENGINE CAN START ACCIDENTALLY RISK FROM IF THE FLYWHEEL IS TURNED BY HAND OR MOVING PARTS MOVED BY PULLING ON THE STARTER ROPE. MOVING PARTS SUCH AS THE PULLEY, FLYWHEEL AND BELT CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY IF THEY COME INTO CONTACT WITH YOU OR YOUR CLOTHING.
A regularly scheduled program of preventive mainte- nance is necessary to insure the long life that has been designed into your DeVilbiss compressor outfit. This instruction manual, along with regular maintenance will maintain your compressor outfit in good working order.
If inhaled, it can cause dizziness, unconsciousness and possibly death. The air compressor outfit should be located as close as possible to the point where the compressed air is to be used. The area selected should be dry, clean, cool, and well ventilated.
NOTE Where a remote air intake is used, enlarge the side of the air intake piping by one pipe size for each 10 feet of length. Stationary outfits must be bolted or lagged to the floor to prevent movement. When lagging down, leave a mini- mum of 1/8 inch between the bolt and support feet.

60 fluid oz.. TWO STAGE COMPRESSOR UNITS Viscosity Chart Recommended Oil Room or Ambient (API SG/CD Heavy Duty) SAE20 SAE30 Crankcase capacity equals approximately 60 fluid ounces. 2. The air compressor outfit is ready for use. Temperature Below 20ºF Above 32ºF...
3. Periodically check the compressor outfit during the first few days of operation to make sure the compressor outfit is running smoothly and all controls are operating properly. NOTE After the compressor has been in operation for 2 to 3 hours, tighten the compressor head bolts.
"Gasoline Engine Owners Manual". ROUTINE MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE DAILY 1. Check the gasoline engine and air compressor pump oil levels; add if necessary. PAGE 14 2. Turn the engine lever or key switch to the OFF position.
A clean compressor runs cooler and provides longer service. CHECKING AND CHANGING OIL Overfilling with oil will cause premature air compressor failure. Do not overfill. 1. Check oil level in compressor crankcase before each use. For two stage compressors the oil level should be to the middle of the oil sight glass.
When the air filter becomes dirty, oily, or covered with paint overspray it must be replaced. To check and/or replace the air intake filter, remove the screw securing the filter assembly to the air compressor pump. Re- move the filter. Inspect condition of filter; replace if necessary.
Moving parts, unexpected engine start-up and compressed air can cause serious injury. Always disconnect the spark plug wire and relieve pressure from the air tank before performing any of these service procedures. Never operate the air compressor with the belt guard removed.
REPLACING DRIVE BELT (cont’d) 5. Slide the engine back into its original position and adjust the belt tension, Figure 8. For compressors equipped with standard V-belts, the proper tension for each belt is approximately 1/4 inch belt deflection measured midway between the engine pulley and flywheel when a 4 pound downward force, or equivalent finger pressure, is applied at that point.
6. Reinstall the check valve. DO NOT OVER- TIGHTEN. SERVICING INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVES The intake and exhaust valves as well as the valve plates and cylinder head will, over a period of time accumulate residue of carbon-like material on their surfaces.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Performing service checks or repairs may expose moving parts, or compressed air sources. Personal injuries may occur. Prior to attempting any service check or repairs, remove the spark plug wire and bleed off all air pressure. Never operate the outfit with the belt guard removed.
