Installing Air Inlet Filter
Use supplied self tapping screws to fasten inlet filter housing
to the head of the pump. Then assemble pump with filter
inside. See Figure 7.
Direction of Rotation
NOTE: Improper rotation will result in reduced compressor
life.
The direction of rotation must be counterclockwise (as
shown by the arrow on the flywheel in Figure 6) while facing
the flywheel side of the pump. The motor nameplate will
show wiring information for counterclockwise rotation.
The proper direction is very important. The direction of
rotation of 3 phase motors can be reversed by interchanging
any two motor-line leads. For single phase motors, refer to
the motor nameplate.
Lubrication
This unit contains no oil. Before
operating compressor, fill to the center
of the sight gauge (see Figure 7).
Using any other type of oil may
shorten pump life and damage valves.
Recommended Oil (2 Options)
Single viscosity SAE 30 ISO100 nondetergent
compressor oil.
10W30 synthetic oil such as Mobil 1
®
.
Oil Capacity
Approximately 2 quarts
Fill the pump with oil to the center of the sight gauge using
oil fill opening (see Figure 7).
Do NOT fill the pump through
the breather cap opening as this may cause oil to leak and
spray out during operation.
NOTE: Some residual oil may still be in the pump from
factory testing leaving a thin coat on the sight gauge;
however, there is not enough oil to operate the unit.
