Operating Your Air Compressor

Lubrication

Dipstick

NOTICE

Before starting the compressor, thoroughly read all component instruction manuals, especially the engine manual.

All lubricated compressor pumps dis- charge some condensed water and oil with the compressed air. Install appropri- ate water/oil removal equipment and con- trols as necessary for the intended appli- cation.

NOTICE

Drain liquid from tank daily.

!CAUTION

Do not attach air tools to open end of the hose until start-up is completed and unit checks OK.

!CAUTION

THIS UNIT CONTAINS NO OIL! Follow lubrication instructions before operating compressor.

Remove the dipstick/ breather and fill pump with 12 ounces of oil. Use single vis- cosity, ISO 100 (SAE 30), non-detergent compressor oil; or Mobil 1® 5W30 or

10W30 synthetic oil may also be used. Proper oil fill is illustrated in Figure 5.

NOTICE

Failure to install appropriate water/oil removal equipment may result in damage to machinery or workpiece.

1. Fill engine with oil and gasoline per instructions furnished with engine.

2. Remove the compressor dipstick breather and fill pump to the proper oil level.

3. Turn regulator knob counterclockwise to open air flow.

Moisture in Compressed Air

Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets as it comes from an air compres- sor pump. When humidity is high or when a compressor is in continuous use for an extended period of time, this moisture will collect in the tank. When using a paint spray or sandblast gun, this water will be carried from the tank through the hose, and out of the gun as droplets mixed with the spray material.

IMPORTANT: This condensation will cause water spots in a paint job, especial- ly when spraying other than water based paints. If sandblasting, it will cause the sand to cake and clog the gun, rendering it ineffective.

A filter in the air line, located as near to the gun as possible, will help eliminate this moisture.

4. Turn manual unloader lever up to a horizontal position to allow the com- pressor pump to run without com- pressing air. (See Figure 6).
