Speedaire Operating Instructions
Oil-Lubricated Series
Installation
LOCATION
It is extremely important to install the
compressor in a clean, well ventilated
area where the surrounding air
temperature will not be more than
100°F.
A minimum clearance of 18 inches
between the compressor and a wall is
required because objects could obstruct
air flow.
Do not locate the
compressor air inlet
near steam, paint spray, sandblast
areas or any other source of
contamination. This debris will damage
the motor.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
All wiring
and electrical
connections should be performed by a
qualified electrician. Installation must
be in accordance with local codes and
national electrical codes.
WIRING
1. Local electrical wiring codes
differ from area to area. Source
wiring, plug and protector must
be rated for at least the amperage
and voltage indicated on motor
nameplate, and meet all electrical
codes for this minimum.
2. Use a slow blow fuse or a circuit
breaker.
3. This product is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Figure 1. Make sure the
product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration
as the plug. This product must
be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces risk of electrical shock by
providing an escape wire for electric
current. This product is equipped
with a cord having a grounding
wire with an appropriate grounding
plug. Plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.

LUBRICATION
Follow lubrication instructions before
operating compressor.
Do not use regular automotive oil
such as 10W-30. Additives in regular
motor oil can cause valve deposits and
reduce pump life. For maximum pump
life, drain and replace oil after the first
hour of run time.
The compressor pump takes
approximately 8 ounces (240 ml) of oil.
The dipstick, located on the crankcase
portion of the pump, is marked
with "max" and "min" levels. Avoid
overfilling by adding oil gradually and
checking the oil level with the dipstick
several times. Add enough oil to reach
the "max" line on the dipstick. Proper
Outlet
oil level is illustrated in Figure 2.
