1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
2. Grasp the hose at the quick connect plug and push the plug
into the quick connect body (E). Coupler will snap into place.
3. Grasp the hose and pull to ensure coupler is seated.
DISCONNECTING
HOSES
Ik WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSi (0 kPa).
2. Pull coupler
on quick connect
body back to release
quick
connect plug on hose.
Lubrication
and Oil
CAUTION: The compressor was shipped with oil in the crankcase.
A shipping plug is used to prevent oil from leaking during shipment.
Do not attempt to operate this air compressor without first checking
the oil level. Serious damage can result from even limited operation
unless filled with oil and broken in correctly. Closely follow Initial
Set-up under Operation.
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 like. Use
SAE 40, non-detergent
air compressor oil only.
1. Place unit on a level surface.
2. Remove the shipping
plug and install the
dipstick.
3. Remove the dipstick (K) and check the oil
level. Oil should not exceed top raised line on
dipstick. If oil is below lower mark see Checking
Oil under
Compressor
Pump
Oil under
Maintenance.
NOTE: See Specifications
for
_
pump oil capacity.
CAUTION: Risk of unsafe operation. Overfilling with oil will cause
premature compressor failure. Do not overfill.
4. Replace dipstick.
Grounding
instructions
_&WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. In the event of a short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an escape wire for
the electric current. This air compressor must be properly grounded.
The portable air compressor
is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug.
1. The cord set and plug (0) with this unit
contains a grounding pin (P).This plug
MUST be used with a grounded outlet
(Q).
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must
be installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
2. Ensure the outlet being used has the same configuration as the
grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
3. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there
are signs of damage.
4. If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or
if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded,
have the installation checked by a qualified electrician.
_DANGER:
Risk of electrical shock. IMPROPER
GROUNDING
CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL
SHOCK.
* Do not modify the plug provided, ff it does not fit the available
outlet, a correct outlet should be installed by a quafified electri-
cian.
* Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a quafified
electrician.
