Fill the pump with oil to the center of the sight gauge using oil
fill opening (see Figure 6).
Do NOT fill the pump through the
breather cap opening as this may cause oil to leak and spray

factory testing leaving a thin coat on the sight gauge;
however, there is not enough oil to operate the unit.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT:
Check motor rotation before operating the
compressor.
All lubricated compressor pumps discharge some
condensed water and oil with the compressed air. Install
appropriate water/oil removal equipment and controls as
necessary for the intended application.
Failure to install appropriate
water/oil removal equipment may result
in damage to machinery or workpiece.
Guarding
The belt guard provided must be
installed before operating the unit.
