Unpacking

1.Remove all packaging.

It may be necessary to brace

or support one side of the outfit when removing the pallet because the air compressor will have a tendency to tip.

2.Remove and discard the (4) screws and washers holding the compressor to the pallet.

3.With the help of another person carefully remove air compressor from pallet and place on a level surface.

To Add Oil To Pump

Compressors are shipped with some

oil due to factory testing. Do not operate this air compressor without adding the correct amount of oil to the pump crankcase. Serious damage can result from even the minimal operation if the pump crankcase does not contain the correct amount of oil. Make sure the break-in procedure is completed before operating the air compressor.

Multi-Viscosity motor oils, like 10W

30, 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.

NOTE: Oil is included with some units. If oil is not included, use an oil specifically formulated for use in an air compressor, such as Porter-Cable PAS1 air compressor oil. Oil may be found at the store where the air compressor was purchased.

1.Place unit on a level surface.

Drain tank to release air pressure

before removing the oil fill cap or oil drain plug.

2.Remove oil fill plug (A) and slowly add a compressor oil to the middle of sight glass (B). NOTE: When filling the crankcase, the oil flows very slowly into the pump. If the oil is added too quickly, it will overflow and appear to be full. NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is approximately 48 fluid ounces.
