Before using your Grizzly Air Compressor, follow
these steps before the first use:
1. Remove all packing materials and the pro-
tective plastic plugs from the cylinder head
and oil plug. Do not remove the yellow cap
underneath the black plastic cover of the
pressure switch housing.
2. Screw the air filter(s) into the cylinder
head(s).
3. Place the oil dipstick into the opening of the
casing and check the oil level in the motor

dipstick.
