IT MAY BE NECESSARY TO BRACE OR SUPPORT ONE END OF THE AIR COMPRESSOR WHEN ATTACHING THE WHEELS AND THE

RUBBER FEET, BECAUSE THE AIR COMPRESSOR WILL HAVE A TENDENCY TO TIP.

Installing Wheels:

The wheels must be installed prior to operating the compressor.
1.

Insert supplied wheel bolt through hole in center of wheel.

2.

Place the end of the bolt on the wheel subassembly through the corresponding hole in the wheel
ground iron located on the base of the air tank.

3.

Slide lock washer over end of wheel bolt.

4.

Fasten the wheel in place by threading supplied nut onto the wheel bolt.

5.

Repeat steps 1 through 4 above to install second wheel.

To Install Rubber Feet:

1.

Slide washer over screw and insert into cup shaped end of rubber foot pad.

2.

Insert exposed end of bolt into corresponding hole in ground iron.

3.

Place washer over the end of the screw.

4.

Fasten the rubber foot in place by threading nut onto the end of the mounting screw.

5.

Repeat steps 1 through 4 above to install second rubber foot pad.

STEP 2 - INSTALLING HANDLE

To Install Handle:

The horizontal handle receivers are installed at the factory and are permanently attached to the air tank.
1.

Slide foam grip so that it is centered over end of horizontal handle cross-
piece.

2.

Position the horizontal handle crosspiece over the tops of the handle
receivers, lining up the openings in the crosspiece pipe with the openings
of the handle receiver tubes.

3.

Slide the crosspiece ends into the handle receiver tubes and secure in
place using the four (4) bolts supplied.

STEP 3 - INSTALLING AIR FILTER

To Install Air Filter:

1.

Remove air inlet dust plug from pump cylinder head using long nose pli-
ers.

2.

Insert threaded end of air filter into air inlet and hand tighten.

THE COMPRESSOR IS SHIPPED WITHOUT OIL IN THE CRANKCASE. ADD OIL AS INDICATED BELOW.

STEP 4 - PUMP LUBRICATION

This air compressor features an oil lubricated pump that requires the use of 

SAE 30 weight non-detergent air compressor oil.

Adding Compressor Oil:

1.

Place air compressor on a flat, level surface.

2.

Remove 

WHITE

plastic oil plug - 

used for shipping ONLY.

3.

Open supplied oil bottle and pour oil into crankcase until the oil level reaches the top of
the red circle in the oil level sight glass. 

Be careful not to overfill.

4.

See diagram for determining proper oil fill level using oil fill sight glass.
