SECTION 3: SET UP

Unpacking

Your air compressor left our warehouse in a carefully packed crate or box. If you dis- cover the air compressor is damaged after you have signed for delivery, please imme- diately call Customer Service at (570) 546- 9663 for advice.

Save the container and packing materials for possible inspection by the carrier or its agent. Otherwise, filing a freight claim can be difficult.

Assembly

To assemble the air compressor:

1.Remove all packing materials and any protective plastic bags, zip tie labels or tags from the compressor.

2.Be sure the air filter is attached to the cylinder head as shown in Figure 2.

cylinder head.

NOTICE

Never run this compressor without a full oil reservoir. The oil provides lubrication to the cylinder rings, which deliver the compressed air. Severe damage to the internal mov- ing parts can occur if there is not adequate oil flow. Check the oil level frequently, and change the oil every

3months.

3.Add compressor oil, or ISO 100/SAE 30W non-detergent oil, to the crank- case. Remove the oil breather (inset in Figure 3) on top of the crankcase and add oil into the hole. The oil level should be in the center of the sight glass as shown in Figure 3 (This step does not apply to the Model G0468).

Oil Breather

NOTICE

The oil breather releases excess pressure from the crankcase. Clogged holes in the oil breather can lead to damaged oil seals, gas- kets, and may cause the compres- sor to seize.
