INSTALLATION & OPERATION

INSTALLATION

Proper care, maintenance and lubrication ensures longevity. The com- pressor should always be level for proper lubrication. Use only in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area. The compressor has heat dissipation fins for proper cooling. Keep the fins and other parts that collect dust clean. Do not place rags or other materials on top of the compressor, as this obstructs cooling and can be a fire hazard.

BEFORE OPERATING THE AIR COMPRESSOR

PLEASE CHECK THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY:

1)Check to see that nuts and bolts are all snug.

2)Check if the quantity and quality of oil is correct.

3)If the intake filters are dirty, they should be replaced or cleaned.

COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION

ALWAYS CHECK THE OIL LEVEL AND QUALITY BEFORE START–UP. DO NOT ADD OR CHANGE OIL WHILE

THE UNIT IS RUNNING.USE ONLY RECOMMENDED NON-DETERGENT OIL.

RECOMMENDED OIL.

Compressor oil:

#EAOIL 10

(1

Litre)

Compressor oil:

#EAOIL 40

(4

Litres).

* Compressor originally filled with SAE 20W oil (ISO 68)

Compressor oil is a non-detergent mineral oil formulated with additives to help minimize carbon build-up, increase ring life and reduce oil consump- tion, for use at ambient temperatures of 0° to 30°C (32°F - 86°F).
