8866659 9 Gallon Twin-Tank Wheelbarrow Portable Air Compressor
WARNING! Before servicing, always shut off the engine and remove the
spark plug wire. Release all air from the tank by pulling the ring on the
safety valve until all air pressure escapes. Failure to depressurize tank
before maintenance may cause serious personal injury.
WARNING! Never attempt to relieve air pressure in an air tank by removing
a pipe plug or any other system component.
HOUR METER
The hour meter records the engine and compressor's running time to assure
required maintenance is performed on schedule.
Refer to the gas engine owner's manual for maintenance procedures to be
performed on the engine. If the unit is used in an excessively dirty or dusty
environment, check and perform all maintenance procedures more often.
AFTER FIRST 100 HOURS OR FIRST MONTH OF OPERATION
Replace break-in lubricant with SAE 40W oil (see lubrication).
DAILY
1. Maintain the lubricant level at the halfway point on the sight glass.
Discolored lubricant or a higher lubricant level reading may indicate
the presence of condensed liquids (see Troubleshooting).
2. Humidity in the air causes condensate to form in the air tank. Drain
moisture from air tank(s). Tank(s) subjected to freezing temperatures may
contain ice. Store the compressor in a heated area before attempting to
drain moisture from the tank(s). To drain moisture from the air tanks:
a. Turn the air compressor off and allow air compressor to become
cool to the touch before servicing. Turn pressure regulator knob
fully counterclockwise.
b. Completely relieve the system of air pressure by pulling the ring on
the safety valve (E). Position yourself so that the moisture and air
being expelled does not touch you. Continue to pull the ring until all
air pressure escapes.
c. Drain moisture from the air tanks using the drain valve located on
the underside of each air tank. Tilt the compressor in the direction
of the drain valve into a suitable container until all moisture has
been removed. If unit will not be used for a while, leave drain valve
open to allow moisture to completely drain out and help prevent
corrosion on the inside of tank. Otherwise, close valve completely.
d. If drain valve is clogged, remove and clean valve and reinstall.
