INSTALLING THE DIPSTICK
See Figure 4, page 19.
The air compressor has a label installed between the oil fill
hole and a travel cap. Before using the unit the first time,
remove travel cap and label and insert supplied dipstick.
Make sure to add oil before first use. See Checking the Oil
before first time operation.

CHECKING THE OIL

See Figures 4 - 5, page 19.
Always check the oil when the unit is sitting on a level surface
and before first use.
To check the oil level using the sight glass:
 The sight glass is located above the drain plug. There is
a red dot in the center of the glass.
 An oil level at the top of the red dot indicates oil is at
maximum level.
 An oil level at or below the bottom of the red dot indicates
oil is below desired level, and oil should be added.
To check the oil level using the dipstick:
 Insert the dipstick into the oil fill hole completely. Remove
the dipstick and check the oil level.
 Make sure the reading is between the MIN and MAX
reference levels on the dipstick.
NOTE: Never let the oil drop to a level lower than MIN.
Maximum level is reached when the oil reaches the MAX
level reference on the dipstick.
 Reinsert the dipstick securely into the oil fill hole.
To add oil:
 Remove the dipstick.
 Using a funnel, carefully pour oil into the oil fill hole. Refill
only with synthetic oil SAE 5W40.
NOTE: Avoid using too much oil. Ensure that the level of
the oil does not exceed the maximum reference level on
the dipstick.
 Reinsert the dipstick securely into the oil fill hole.
INSTALLING THE SEMI-PNEUMATIC TIRE

 Insert supplied axle rod through hole in semi-pneumatic
tire hub, centering the tire between the two center holes
in the axle rod.
 Insert washers onto axle rod on either side and slide hitch
pins through both holes on either side of semi-pneumatic
tire to secure semi-pneumatic tire to the center of the axle
rod.
 Insert tire rod (with semi-pneumatic tire installed) end
through metal bracket on the front of the air tank.
 Insert the other axle rod end through metal bracket on
the opposite side.
