Unpacking
SECTION 3: SET UP
Your air compressor left our warehouse in
a carefully packed crate or box. If you dis-
cover the air compressor is damaged after
you have signed for delivery, please imme-
diately call Customer Service at (570) 546-
9663 for advice.
Save the container and packing materials
for possible inspection by the carrier or its
agent. Otherwise, filing a freight claim can
be difficult.
Assembly
To assemble the air compressor:
1. Remove all packing materials and any
protective plastic bags, zip tie labels or
tags from the compressor.
2. Be sure the air filter is attached to the
cylinder head as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 3. Proper oil level.
3. Add compressor oil, or ISO 100/SAE
30W non-detergent oil, to the crank-
case. Remove the oil breather (inset
in
Figure 3) on top of the crankcase
and add oil into the hole. The oil level
should be in the center of the sight
glass as shown in
Figure 3.

cylinder head.
NOTICE
Never run this compressor without
a full oil reservoir. The oil provides
lubrication to the cylinder rings,
which deliver the compressed air.
Severe damage to the internal mov-
ing parts can occur if there is not
adequate oil flow. Check the oil level
frequently, and change the oil every
3 months.
Oil Breather
NOTICE
The oil breather releases excess
pressure from the crankcase.
Clogged holes in the oil breather
can lead to damaged oil seals, gas-
kets, and may cause the compres-
sor to seize.
