To Add Oil To Pump
Compressors are shipped without oil. A small amount
of oil may be present in the pump upon receipt of the
air compressor. This is due to plant testing and does not mean the
pump contains oil. Do not attempt to operate this air compressor
without first adding oil to the crankcase. Serious damage can result
from even limited operation unless filled with oil and broken in cor-
rectly. Make sure to closely follow initial start-up procedures.
Multi-Viscosity motor oils, like 10W 30, should not be
used in an air compressor. They leave carbon
deposits on critical components, thus reducing performance and
compressor life. Use air compressor oil only.
NOTE: Use an air compressor oil such as SAE-20 API CG/CD heavy duty motor oil.
Under extreme winter conditions use SAE-10 weight oil.
1. Place unit on a level surface.
2. Remove oil fill plug (A) and slowly add a com-
pressor oil until it is even with the top of the
oil fill hole. NOTE: Do not allow oil to be lower
than 3/8" (6 threads) from the top at any time.
When filling the crankcase, the oil flows very
slowly into the pump. If the oil is added too
quickly, it will overflow and appear to be full.
NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is approximate-
ly 16 fluid ounces.
3. Replace oil fill plug.

Unpacking
1. Remove all packaging.
It may be necessary to brace or support one side of
the outfit when removing the pallet because the air
compressor will have a tendency to tip.
2. Remove and discard the (4) screws and washers holding the compressor to the
pallet.
3. With the help of another person carefully remove air compressor from pallet
and place on a level surface.
