Mounting
1.The compressor may vibrate strongly during use, so mounting is needed to prevent movement.
2.Before use, mount the compressor securely using all four mounting holes to a solid, level surface, such as a concrete slab or truck bed.
3.Rubber pads (not included) may be used at the mounting points to reduce vibration.
Equipment Oil Fill

Before first use, fill the compres- sor with compressor oil as follows:
1.Remove the Breather Vent (22) and fill with 1.37 quarts of premium quality
SAE
2.Check the oil level at the Oil Sight Glass. The oil level should be at the middle of the Glass. Add or drain oil as needed until it is at the proper level.
3.Thread the Breather Vent (22) back into place, being careful not to cross- thread it or strip its threads.
