WARNING: Drain tank to release air pressure before removing the dipstick.

WARNING: Make sure air vent in dipstick is free from debris. If air vent is blocked pressure can build in crankcase causing damage to compressor and possible personal injury.

When the oil volume is insufficient, refer to the section ÒOil change-oil topping offÓ on page 13 for a description of how to supply the oil.

6. Air coupler installation

Screw in the air coupler to the joint (Refer to Fig. 1 and Fig. 7). The screw size of the joint is 3/8". Use an air coupler which has the same screw size.

7. Right running position

Position the compressor on a flat surface or one with an inclination of 10¡ at the most, in a well ventilated area away from atmospheric agents and not in explosive areas.

CAUTION: In order to avoid damaging the compressor, do not allow the unit to be tilted more than 10° when operating.

English

8. Correct placement of the compressor

NOTE: When operating or storing the compressor, set 4 rubber bumpers downward on the floor. (Refer to Fig. 1)

9. Temperature

Operating temperatures are between 32¡F and 104¡F (0¡C and 40¡C).

CAUTION: Never operate in temperatures below 32°F (0°C) or above 104°F (40°C).

TRANSPORT

Push the knob of the pressure switch to ÒOFFÓ and disconnect it from the power source before move the compressor. Transport the compressor in the correct manner.

The compressor has 2 handles (A) for carrying and a handle (B) for pulling.

(1)Keep one hand on a handle (A) and sliding handle

(B)out, and lock the handle (B) with the two knobs

(A)on the guide plate (Fig. 5).

Pull up handle (B), to move the knob (A) towards the direction for locking, and the handle (B) will lock. If the handle (B) does not lock, turn the knob

(A)to lock it.
