ASSEMBLY

To Add Oil To Pump

Risk of Unsafe Operation. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPERATE THIS AIR COMPRESSOR WITHOUT FIRST

ADDING OIL TO THE CRANKCASE. Serious damage can result from even limited operation unless filled with oil and broken in correctly. Make sure to closely follow initial start-up procedures.

Risk of Unsafe Operation. COMPRESSORS ARE SHIPPED WITHOUT OIL. A small amount of oil may be present in

the pump upon receipt of the air compressor. This is due to plant testing and does not mean the pump contains oil.

Risk of Unsafe Operation. Multi-Viscosity motor oils, like 10W 30, should not be used in an air compressor. They

leave carbon deposits on critical components, thus reducing performance and compressor life. Use air compressor oil only.

NOTE: Use an air compressor oil such as SAE-30 (API CG/CD heavy duty motor oil). Under extreme winter conditions use SAE-10 weight oil.

1.Place unit on a level surface.
