ASSEMBLy / INSTALLATION
lUBrICATION AND OIl
Do not attempt to operate this air
compressor without rst verifying
the oil level in the crankcase. This compressor
is shipped with oil in the crankcase. Serious
damage of the compressor can result from even
momentary operation without proper lubrication.
Prior to each use, verify the crankcase oil level.
An oil sight gauge with minimum and maximum
oil level marks is provided with this compressor.
Always verify that the oil level is at the maximum
mark in the oil sight gauge before operating this
unit. Do not operate the pump with an inad-
equate or excessive amount of oil. The cost of
failures which occur due to incorrect oil levels will
not be covered under warranty.
To check the oil level:
1. Place unit on a level surface.
2. Verify oil level through the oil sight gauge.
3. If oil level is low, add as required, but do not
exceed maximum oil level.
Do not allow particulates such
as sawdust to fall into crank
case when crank case is open for inspection.
Particulates in oil may reduce compressor life.
Do not use a detergent oil in
crankcase. Detergent oils will leave
deposits on internal compressor components
reducing compressor life and performance.
PrePArATION FOr USe
Use this compressor and all
accessories in accordance with
the instructions. Compressor and accessories
must be used for the purpose for which they are
designed. Use of the compressor for operations
other than what is described in this manual can
result in a hazardous situation.

pressor with the gasoline engine:
1. Review “Safety Rules for Gasoline Compressor”
on pg. 5 before fueling.
2. Read engine manual accompanying this
air compressor for correct engine start-up
maintenance procedures.
3. Read and understand the safety labels located
on the air compressor.
4. A minimum of 86 octane fuel is recommended

Change the crankcase oil after
the rst 50 hours of operation and
as recommended in the maintenance section
of this manual. Failure to change oil according to
maintenance schedule will reduce compressor life
and performance.
