Preparing For Use
Before using your Grizzly Air Compressor, follow these steps before the first use:
1.Remove all packing materials and any pro- tective plastic plugs from the cylinder head or oil plug.
2.Be sure the air filter is attached to the side of the cylinder head.
3.Check the oil level in the motor crankcase. For the G8694 and G8889 the oil is checked by removing the filler cap and checking to make sure the oil level is between the two marks on the end of the dipstick. For the G8695 the oil can be checked using the clear plastic sight gauge. The oil level should be close to the center of the gauge. See Figure 2.

4.Make sure drain valve(s) on the air tanks is closed.
5.Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position, fully pushed in. Connect the power cord(s) to a properly protected power source.
NOTICE
The machine should never be run without a full oil reservoir. The oil provides lubrica- tion to the cylinder rings which deliver the compressed air. Severe damage to the internal parts can occur if there is not ade- quate oil flow. Check the oil level frequent- ly, and change the oil on a regular sched- ule.
