6. Keep compressor well-ventilated.

Do not cover compressor during use.

7. Drain Tank daily and after use. Internal rust causes

tank failure and explosion.

8. Add correct amount of compressor oil before first

use and every use. Operating with low or no oil

causes permanent damage and voids warranty.

9. Do not remove the valve cover or

adjust internal components.

10. Compressor head gets hot during operation.

Do not touch it or allow children nearby

during or immediately following operation.

11. Do not use the air hose to move the compressor.

12. Release the pressure in the

storage tank before moving.

13. The use of accessories or attachments not

recommended by the manufacturer may

result in a risk of injury to persons.

14. All air line components, including hoses, pipe,

connectors, filters, etc., must be rated for a minimum

working pressure of 150 PSI, or 150% of the

maximum system pressure, whichever is greater.

15. USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD IS NOT

RECOMMENDED. If you choose to use an

extension cord, use the following guidelines:

if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper

outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

3. Improper connection of the equipment-grounding

conductor can result in a risk of electric shock.

The conductor with insulation having an outer

surface that is green with or without yellow

stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor.

If repair or replacement of the electric cord or

plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-

grounding conductor to a live terminal.

4. Check with a qualified electrician or service

personnel if the grounding instructions are

not completely understood, or if in doubt as to

whether the compressor is properly grounded.

5. Use only 3-wire extension cords that have

3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles

that accept the compressor’s plug.

6. Repair or replace damaged or

worn cord immediately.

SAFETY SETUP OPERATION MAINTENANCE

Checking the Oil

1. Check the oil level before operation. Fill the

Crankcase (38) with SAE 30W, non-detergent,

Air Compressor Oil (sold separately).

IMPORTANT: Running the Air Compressor with

the incorrect amount of oil will cause damage

to the equipment and void the warranty. To

prevent damage, do not use with overfilled or

low oil. Slowly fill to full line, wait 2 minutes

and fill back up to full line. Compressor

has small passages that will fill slowly.

2. The oil level should be at the center of the “full”

level on the Oil Sight Glass (34), as shown in

Figure F. Add oil as needed to maintain this level.

Do not let the oil level go below the center dot

(LOW, as shown in Figure F) and do not overfill the

oil so that it is above the center dot (OVERFILL,

as shown in Figure F) on the Sight Glass.

Figure F: Oil Sight Glass

3. To add oil:

a. Remove the Oil Breather Plug (31).

b. Using a funnel to avoid spills, pour

enough oil into the Crankcase to reach

the “full” level in the Oil Gauge.

c. Replace the Oil Breather Plug.

Cold Weather Operation

Premium quality 30-weight, non-detergent air

compressor oil (sold separately) is recommended

for use with this compressor. 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 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.

4. If uncertain which oil to use for this compressor,

call Harbor Freight Tools customer service

at 1-888-866-5797 for assistance.

5. Change the compressor oil after the first

hour of use to remove any debris.

CAUTION! TO PREVENT INJURY FROM BURNS:

Do not add or change the oil while the compressor

is in operation.

Allow the compressor to cool before replacing oil.

Break-in Procedure

1. Set the ON/OFF Power Lever to

OFF and unplug the unit.

2. Insert a male coupler (sold separately)

into the Quick Coupler (55) and fully

open all regulators and valves.

3. Plug in the Power Cord.

4. Set the ON/OFF Power Lever to ON.

5. Let the unit run for 30 minutes.

Air will expel freely through the Coupler.

6. Set the ON/OFF Power Lever to OFF.

7. Unplug the Power Cord and

remove the male coupler.

SAFETYSETUPOPERATIONMAINTENANCE

Air Line Setup

1. Connect a regulator valve, an inline shut off valve

and a 1/4″ NPT air hose to the Quick Coupler (55)

(all sold separately). The air hose must be long

enough to reach the work area with enough extra

length to allow free movement while working.

Note: An in-line shutoff ball valve is an important

safety device because it controls the air supply even

if the air hose is ruptured. The shutoff valve should

be a ball valve because it can be closed quickly.

2. Depending on the tool which you will be using

with this compressor, you may need to incorporate

additional components, such as an in-line

oiler, a filter, or a dryer (all sold separately),

as shown on Figure G on page 10 and

Figure H on page 11. Consult your air

tool’s manual for needed accessories.
