EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage and loss
of power. Do not use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary.
It is better to use a long air hose to reach area where work is being
performed. If use of an extension cord can not be avoided, refer to the
following guidelines before using.
Use only 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug.
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. Be sure gauge is
sufficient to carry the current the unit will draw. Note that the smaller
the gauge the heavier the cord. Example: Gauge 10 is heavier than
gauge 12. Do not use 14 or 16 AWG for extension cord.

OIL FILLING
1. Remove the oil filler plug.
2. Slowly pour the proper oil into the pump crankcase.
3. Always keep oil level between the marks "High" and "Low" level on
the oil dipstick (or on the red circle of the sight glass).
OIL CHANGE
Change oil after the first 8 hours of compressor operation, then
change oil after every 300 working hours or 3 months whichever
comes first.
1. Remove the oil drain plug and allow oil to drain out. Used oil should
be handled by recycle agents.
2. Replace the oil drain plug. The use of a sealing compound or Teflon
tape to avoid leakage is recommended.
3. Refill with the recommended oil to the proper level.

PROCEDURE
Do not attempt to operate the air compressor without first checking
the oil level in the pump.
Add oil as required. Serious damage may result from running without
oil.
1.
Check to see that nuts and bolts are all snug.
2.
Check that compressor is on a stable level surface.
3.
Check that air filter is clean.
4.
Do not place any materials on or against the compressor.
5.
Open the drain valve at the bottom of the tank.
6.
Turn the pressure switch lever to "AUTO".
7.
Ensure air is escaping from the drain valve. Allow the unit to op-
erate for a minimum of twenty minutes in this no load condition.
8.
After running the compressor for twenty minutes, close the drain
valve and allow the unit to reach maximum operating pressure.
Ensure that the compressor shuts down at the preset maximum
pressure. Notice that the head pressure is released through the
unloading valve of the pressure switch.
9.
Check the air compressor and piping systems for leakages.
10. Recheck the oil level in the crankcase. Add oil as required.
11.
Your compressor is ready for use.
WARNING
• Before doing any maintenance or adjustments to your air
compressor, the following safety precautions should be taken.
A. Disconnect electrical power.
B. Drain air tank to release air pressure.
