Assembly
 
 
Disconnect,  tag and lock out 
power source, then release 
all pressure from the system 
before attempting to install, service, 
relocate or perform any maintenance.
AIR FILTER INSTALLATION
 Screw inlet filter into 1/2 inch NPT 
threaded inlet port on compressor head.
 LUBRICATION
 
THIS UNIT CONTAINS 
  NO OIL! Follow 
lubrication instructions before 
operating compressor.
Ensure oil drain extension has been 
installed (if included), then remove 
the dipstick/breather and fill pump 
with oil.  Use SAE 30 Industrial Grade 
compressor oil or full synthetic motor 
oil like Mobil 1
®
 10W-30. Do not use 
regular automotive oil such as 10W-30. 
Additives in regular oil can cause valve 
deposits and reduce pump life. 
Proper oil fill is illustrated in Figure 1.
For pumps with an oil sight glass, oil 
level can be monitored and maintained 
as shown in Figure 1.
BREAK-IN
After installing compressor, start the 
new pump and run without a load 
(0 psi) for 30 minutes. With a pressure 
regulator set to 40 psi and no tool or 
hose connected to the outlet, run the 
compressor for another 30 minutes.
Maintenance
 Release 
all pressure from the system 
before attempting to install, 
service, relocate or perform 
any maintenance.
 All repairs should be performed by an 
authorized service representative.
FOR EFFICIENT OPERATION:
1. Check 
air 
filter.
2.  Check oil level. Low oil level will 
result in rapid wear and short pump 
life.

MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR
Moisture in compressed air will form 
into droplets as it comes from an air 
compressor pump. When humidity 
is high or when a compressor is in 
continuous use for an extended 
period of time, this moisture will 
collect in the tank. When using a 
paint spray or sandblast gun, this 
water will be carried from the tank 
through the hose, and out of the 
gun as droplets mixed with the spray 
material.
IMPORTANT: This condensation will 
cause water spots in a paint job, 
especially when spraying other than 
water based paints. If sandblasting, it 
will cause the sand to cake and clog 
the gun, rendering it ineffective.
A fi lter in the air line, located as 
near to the gun as possible, will help 
eliminate this moisture.
