INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES ... Cont’d

CAUTION: Multi-Viscosity motor oils, like 10W30, should not be used in an air compressor. They leave carbon deposits on critical components, thus reducing performance and compressor life. Use air compressor oil only.

Initial Start Up Procedure:

1)Open the air receiver's drain valve.

2)Plug power supply cord into correct power source.

3)Run the compressor for a minimum of twenty (20) minutes in the no-load condition to lubricate the bearings and pistons, and to seat the piston rings.

4)Close air receiver drain valve. Your compressor is now ready for use.

Extension Cords:

To avoid voltage drop, power loss, and overheating of the motor, use extra air hose instead of an extension cord. Low voltage can cause damage to the motor.

If an extension cord must be used:

Use only an approved 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the air compressor.

Make sure the extension cord is in good condition.

Please see the chart below as the MINIMUM requirements:
