6. INSTALLATION & ASSEMBLY
WARNING
The air compressor should be turned off and unplugged from the power source
before any maintenance is performed as well as the air bled from the tank and
the unit allowed time to cool. Personal injuries could occur from moving parts,
electrical sources, compressed air or hot surfaces.
CAUTION: do not attempt to start the air compressor without first
checking the oil level. Serious damage can result running the compressor
without oil. The pump is shipped with oil from the factory. If necessary
refill with Airpress compressor oil, order No 36398, until the oil reaches
the center of the red circle in the sight glass
WARNING
Drain the tank to release all tank air pressure before removing the oil fill cap. Be
sure the air vent in the oil fill cap is free from debris. If air vent is blocked,
pressure can build in crankcase causing damage to the compressor and
possible personal injury.
Before Starting the Air Compressor for the First Time: check oil level!
If necessary refill with Airpress compressor oil. Proceed in small intervals when
adding oil to make sure you do not overfill the crankcase with oil (oil tank
capacity 0,25 litres).
To access the oil fill tube, remove the side access panel. Remove the oil fill tube
by turning it counter-clock-wise by hand. Fill the compressor pump at slow
intervals until the oil reaches the center of the red circle in the sight glass.
Air Intake Filter Assembly
The air filter assembly is pre-installed. If it is not and is packed loose in the
carton, install the air intake filter assembly by screwing the male fitting on the
plastic housing into the female fitting in the back side of the housing. Make sure
the air filter assembly is not damaged.
HANDLE ASSEMBLY
Remove the screws and allen wrench that are provided in the hardware bag.
Insert the handle onto the base by sliding it along the grooves in the top of the
base. Once fully inserted into the grooves, install the screws using the alien
wrench provided.
