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. 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.
Overheating, short
circuiting and fire
damage will result from inadequate
wiring.
2. Place lock washer on axle bolt. Then
tighten nut securely to threaded
part of axle bolt.
3. Repeat procedure with other side.

THIS UNIT IS
SHIPPED WITHOUT
OIL IN PUMP! Follow lubrication
instructions before operating
compressor.
Use oil shipped with the 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 few
hours of run time.
The compressor pump takes
approximately 280 ml (9.5 ozs.) of oil.
The sight glass, 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 sight
glass several times. Add enough oil to
reach the “max” level on the sight glass.
Proper oil level is illustrated in Figure 3.
