Risk of property damage. Overfilling with oil will cause premature
compressor failure. Do not overfill.
5. Replace oil fill plug (A) and tighten securely.
AIR FILTER - INSPECTION AND REPLACEMENT
Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Compressor heads are exposed
when filter cover is removed. Allow compressor to cool prior to servicing.
Keep the air filter clean at all times. Do not operate the air
compressor with the air filter removed.
A dirty air filter will not allow the compressor pump to operate at full capacity.
Before using the compressor pump, check the air filter to make sure it is clean
and in place.
If it is dirty, replace it with a new filter.
1. Using a pair of needle nose pliers or a screwdriver pull or pry out the old
filter and carefully clean the filter area.
2. Push the new air filter in place.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the compressor with the air filter removed.
BELT - REPLACEMENT
Risk of unsafe operation. Serious injury or damage may occur
if parts of the body or loose items get caught in moving parts. Never operate
the outfit with the belt guard removed. The belt guard should be removed only
when the air compressor power is disconnected.
1. Turn air compressor off, lock out the power supply, and relieve all air pres-
sure from the air tank.
2. Remove the front of the belt guard by disengaging the snaps. Insert a flat
bladed screwdriver at each snap location and pry the beltguard apart.
