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).

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.
