Assembly 1 Assembling the wheels □ □ □ 2 Assembling the handle □ With the offset hub of a wheel (D) facing the tank's wheel bracket, assemble a 10 mm shoulder bolt (AA) through the holes in the wheel and tank wheel bracket. Place a lock washer (CC) onto the threaded end of the shoulder bolt (AA). Then, place a 10 mm nut (BB) on the threaded end of the bolt (AA) and tighten securely. Repeat for the other wheel (D).
Assembly 4 Air compressor lubrication 5 □ □ CAUTION: This unit is shipped without oil in the pump! Follow these lubrication instructions before operating the compressor. □ □ Add oil to the pump using the oil bottle (M). The compressor pump holds approximately 380 ml (13 oz.) of oil. The sight glass, located on the crankcase portion of the pump, is used to maintain proper oil level. The “Max” oil level is when the oil is in the center of the dot in the middle of the sight glass.
Compressor Operation 1 Draining the tank □ □ □ □ □ □ 2 Checking the safety valve □ Turn off the compressor. Pull the safety valve pull ring (C) to remove all air pressure from the tank. Continue to hold the safety valve open until both pressure gauges show 0 PSI. Next, unplug the air compressor from the power source. Position a suitable container below the drain valve. Fully open the drain valve (K). Keep the compressor tilted until all moisture has been removed.
Maintenance GENERAL MAINTENANCE ADDING PUMP OIL Condensate forms in the tank when there is humidity in the air. Depending on the environmental conditions, drain the condensate daily and/or every hour. For instructions, see Draining the tank on page 9. The safety valve automatically releases air when the receiver pressure exceeds the preset maximum. Inspect the tank annually for rust, pin holes, or other Imperfections that could cause it to become unsafe. Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Maintenance (continued) 9. CHANGING PUMP OIL The pump's oil should be changed every 100 hours of use. Use only approved air compressor oil when changing this pump's oil or the pump may be damaged. 1. Plug in the compressor and allow it to run for 5 minutes to warm up the oil. 2. Unplug the compressor. 3. Place a suitable oil drain container under the oil drain plug located on the side of the crankcase. Secure the oil drain container. 4.
Troubleshooting Problem The compressor will not run. □ □ □ □ □ □ The motor hums but cannot run or runs slowly. □ □ □ □ The fuses blow/circuit breaker trips repeatedly. □ □ □ The Push Button Overload protector cuts out repeatedly. □ □ □ The air receiver pressure drops when the compressor shuts off. There is excessive moisture in the discharge air. The compressor runs continuously. The compressor vibrates. The air output is lower than normal.
