INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
WARNING! Do not use lead-tin solder to join pipes and fittings. It can melt at the
temperatures of the compressor's air discharge and cause the piping to burst.

EXTENSION CORDS

If you plan to use an extension cord when operating your air compressor,
please note:
Maximum length: not to exceed 50 ft. (15 m)

Minimum wire size: 14 gauge.

If the extension cord is too long or the wire size is too small, the air

compressor will not start.

COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION

1. CHECK THE OIL quantity and quality before operating the compressor. Do
not add or change oil while the compressor is in operation. Use only oil with
the correct specifications.
2. Be sure the air compressor is on a level surface.
3. Remove and discard the oil filler transport plug on the top of the crankcase,
revealing the oil fill hole.
4. Fill the oil reservoir with SAE-20 heavy-duty, non-detergent compressor oil.
In extreme winter conditions, use lighter SAE-10 weight.
5. The reservoir capacity is approximately 350 ml (11.8 fl. oz.) There may be
some oil left over from the manufacturing process already in the reservoir.
Be careful not to over-fill.
6. Check the oil level sight glass (C, fig.1 & 2). The oil should show level with
the red dot in the centre of the viewing window.
7. Find the oil fill breather cap (B, fig.1 & 2).
8. Gently screw the oil breather into the oil fill hole. Do not cross-thread or
over-tighten.

INITIAL BREAK-IN

1. Open (turn the brass knurled knob out, counter-clockwise) the air tank
moisture release drain value
air pressure builds up in the air tank.
2. Plug power supply cord into correct power source.
3. Pull up on the Auto-On/Off switch (G, fig.1 & 4) to start the compressor.
4. Run the compressor in this no-load condition for 15 to 20 minutes to
lubricate the bearings and pistons.
5. Close (turn the knurled knob in, clockwise) the air tank moisture release
petcock.
6. Pressure will build in the tank and the Pressure switch will stop the pump
when it reaches the pressure set on the regulator. Your compressor is now
ready for use.
NOTE: During the break-in period, there may be a slight smell as the electrical
motor brushes seat themselves. This may last for about 5 minutes and is
normal.
CAUTION! If the compressor does not run properly after 15 minutes of the
break-in or if you notice any abnormalities, please contact the service centre.
