ASSEMBLY
Tools Required for Assembly
1 - 9/16" socket or open end wrench
1 - electric drill
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.
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 correctly. 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-30
(API CG/CD heavy duty motor oil). Under extreme
winter conditions use SAE-20 weight oil.
1. Place unit on a level surface.
2. Remove oil fill plug (A) and slowly add
compressor oil until the oil level is in the middle
of the sightglass (B). NOTE: 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 approximately 40
fluid ounces.
3. Replace oil fill plug.
