Unpacking
Due to modern mass production techniques, it is unlikely
that your GMC Power Tool is faulty or that a part is missing.
If you find anything wrong, do not operate the tool until the
parts have been replaced or the fault has been rectified.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
Assembly
Oil
WARNING. The air compressor must be filled with oil
before first use.
To prevent possible spillage of oil during transport, the
compressor oil is supplied in a separate container. It must
be added to the compressor before turning the compressor
on. Failure to add the oil will cause non-repairable damage
to the compressor and will void the warranty.
1. Remove the plastic oil filling plug (14) located on the top
of the crank case of the compressor housing.
2. Use the oil supplied to fill the crank case until the oil level
as seen in the oil sight glass (16) is up to the mid point of
the red circle.
3. Replace the oil filling plug (14). Ensure the plug is fully
fitted and firmly in position.
Pre-start routine
1. Ensure that the location for the compressor is clean,
dry and well ventilated.
2. Ensure the crank case has been filled with oil and is
at the correct level.
3. Start the compressor by
following the procedure in the
section “To start and stop
the compressor”. Prior to
the first time operation of the
compressor open the drain
cocks in both of the tanks (9),
run the compressor for
20 - 30 minutes in this condition
with no load and to ensure all
parts are well lubricated.
4. Turn the air compressor off at
the on/off switch (2) on the air
compressor. Close the drain
cocks (9) in both tanks.
Your compressor is now ready
for use.
WARNING. Be aware that pressurised air will be discharged
from the drain cocks (9) and care should be taken that this
discharge is not directed towards you the operator, or other
persons within the area.
