Overfilling with oil will cause premature compressor failure. Do not overfill,

Check oil level in the crankcase before each use. The oil level should be even with the top of the fill hole and must not be allowed to be lower than _/8" from the top (6 threads down from the top) at any time. It is recom- mended that the oil in the base (52) be changed after every 100 hours of operation. Todrain the oil, remove the oil drain plug (51) and collect the oil in a Suitable con- tainer. Be sure to replace the plug securely before adding new oil. Use a special compressor oil, such as Sears 9-16426 or SAE 20-20WSF motor oil (crankcase oil capacity is 16 fluid ounces). Under extreme winter conditions use SAE 10W oil,

Location of Air Compressor

Locate the unit in a dry, clean, cool and well ventilated area. The compressor crankcase and head are designed with fins which allow for proper cooling: Clean or blow off fins and any other parts of the compressor that collect dust Ordirt. A clean compressor runs cooler and provides longer service. Do not place rags, contain_ ers or other material on or against the console which would obstruct ventilation openings necessary for prop: er compressor operating temperature. If humidity is high, a Sears Air Filter can be installed on the air outlet adapter to remove excess moisture. Follow the instruc- lions packaged with the air filter for proper installation.

i;

The motor is mounted on an adjustable motor base. By loosening the wing nut (31), the motor can be tilted in to allow for easy tightening or removal of the belt (74).

To replace belt:

1.Unplug unit from power source before repairing.

2.Remove screws (I) from the front and rear of the console. Remove console (2).

3.Loosen wing nut (31) and tilt motor in.

4.Remove belt and replace with new.

Note

The belt should be centered over the grooves on the flywheel and motor pulley.

5_PUsh the motor back into regular position and tighten wing nut securely. Proper tension is approximately V=" belt deflection measured midway between the pulley and flywheel when a 3 pound weight or equivalent finger pressure is applied at this point. A loose belt will squeal at unit start-up.

6. Replace console (2) and screws (1).

Storage

When you have finished using the compressor, do the following before storage:

1.Set the On-Auto!Offswitch to OFF and unplug the cord.

2.Relieve all pressure from the air tank.

3.Drain the water from the air tank, then close the drain valve.

4.Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage caused by being stepped on or run over. Roll them loosely around the OUtfit handle.
