instAllinG hoses

Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand when installing or disconnec-
ting to prevent hose whip.
1. Ensure Regulated Pressure Gauge (C) reads 0 psi.
2. Grasp the hose at the Quick Connect (E) plug and push the plug into the Quick Connect (E)
body. Coupler will snap into place.
3. Grasp the hose and pull to ensure coupler is seated.
disConneCtinG hoses
Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand when installing or disconnec-
ting to prevent hose whip.
1. Ensure Regulated Pressure Gauge (C) reads 0 psi.
2. Pull coupler on Quick Connect (E) body back to release Quick Connect (E) plug on hose.
lUBRICATION AND OIl
The compressor was shipped with oil in the crankcase. Closely follow Initial
Set-up under Preparation for us.
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 ISO 100/SAE40, non-detergent, premium air compressor oil only.
1. Place unit on a level surface.
2. Remove the crankcase plug used for shipping. This is installed in Dipstick (J) hole.
note: See Specifications for pump oil capacity.
Risk of unsafe operation. Overfilling with oil will cause premature compressor
failure. Do not overfill.
3. Install Dipstick (J) provided with compressor.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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 (O) with this unit
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.
Risk of electrical shock. IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL
SHOCK.
• Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, a correct outlet
should be installed by a qualified electrician.
• Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified electrician.

ExTENSION CORDS

Using extension cords is not recommended. The use of extension cords will cause voltage to
drop resulting in power loss to the motor and overheating.
Instead of using an extension cord, increase the working reach of the air hose by attaching
another length of hose to its end. Attach additional lengths of hose as needed.
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
contains a grounding pin (P). This plug MUSt be
