Operation

Preparing for use

CAUTION: Check for proper oil level before operating!

NOTE: The pump oil level is full (1) as shown.

NOTE: Use SAE 30 industrial grade air compressor oil or

full synthetic motor oil like Mobil 1® 10W30.

NOTE: Do not exceed the maximum oil capacity of

approximately 8.5 ounces.

NOTE: Do not use regular automotive oil. Additives in

regular motor oil can cause valve deposits and reduce pump

life.

NOTE: For maximum pump life, drain and replace oil after

the ﬁ rst hour of run time.

□ Use the sight glass on the pump to determine the oil level.

□ Add oil to the pump if the oil level is low (2).

Starting-up and breaking-in the

compressor

WARNING: Do not attach air tools to the open end of the

hose until start-up is completed and the unit checks okay.

WARNING: Never disconnect threaded joints with

pressure in the tank!

□ Return power to the air compressor unit (A) from the main.

□ Open the tank drain valve. The tank will not readily buildup

any pressure.

□ Move the pressure switch to the AUTO position to run the

air compressor unit (A).

□ Run the air compressor unit (A) for thirty (30) minutes at

zero (0) psi (under no load) to break-in the pump parts.

□ Move the pressure switch lever or knob to the OFF position,

and turn the tank drain valve to shut off air flow. The air

compressor unit (A) is now ready for use.
