5.Rotate each retaining clip clock- wise and press down until it snaps into place over the handle.

6.If the handle has excessive movement, it is improperly installed. Check the following.

A.Are both tabs inside the handle (Step #3)?

B.Does each clip pass through both the saddle and handle (Step #4)?

To Assemble Wheels

It will be necessary to brace or support

one side of the air compressor when installing the wheels because the compressor will have a tenden- cy to tip.

1.Attach wheels with shoulder bolts and nuts as shown.

2.Tighten securely. NOTE: The air compressor will sit level if the wheels are properly installed.

The wheels and handle do not pro-

vide adequate clearance, stability or support for pulling the unit up and down stairs or steps. The unit must be lifted, or pushed up a ramp.

Assemble Rubber Feet

1.Attach rubber feet with the screws, washers and nuts pro- vided as shown in figure below.

To Add Oil To Pump

Compressors are shipped without oil.

A small amount of oil may be pres- ent in the pump upon receipt of the air compressor. This is due to plant testing and does not mean the pump contains oil. 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 fol- low initial start-up procedures.

Use air compressor oil only. Multi-

Viscosity motor oils, like 10W 30, should not be used in an air com- pressor. They leave carbon deposits on critical components, thus reducing performance and compressor life.

NOTE: Use an air compressor oil such as Sears item number 9-16426 or SAE-20 (API CG/CD heavy duty motor oil. Under extreme winter con- ditions use SAE-10 weight oil.
