OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
Start compressor in heated area if outdoor temperatures drop below 32° F. If this is not practical, drain
out the old pump oil and use SAE 10W Non-detergent Air Compressor Oil (sold separately) in the pump
crankcase instead whenever the compressor’s temperature will fall below 40°.
Do not use multi-viscosity oil (such as 10W-30) - they leave carbon deposits on pump components and
lead to accelerated failure.
Heavy operation may require heavier viscosity oil.
EMERGENCY DEPRESSURIZATION
If it is necessary to quickly depressurize the Compressor, turn the Power Switch OFF. Then, pull on the
ring on the Safety Valve to quickly release stored air pressure.
CLEANING, MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
BEFORE EACH USE: Inspect the general condition of the air compressor. Check for the following:
Loose hardware
Misalignment or binding of moving parts
Cracked or broken parts
Damaged electrical wiring
Any other condition that may affect safe operation
AFTER EACH USE: Wipe external surfaces of the compressor with a clean cloth.
WARNING: If the supply cord of this compressor is damaged, it must be replaced only by a qualied
service technician.
