4593000 Model Pump: The compressor pump capacity
is 27 oz. Use SAE 30 non-detergent pump oil (part
#4043) prior to break-in. You may use synthetic
lubricants after 50 hour break-in period. See "Lubricants
and Compatibility" for a list of suitable and alternative
lubricants.

4593100 Model Pump: The compressor pump capacity
is 33.8 oz. Use SAE 30 non-detergent pump oil (part
#4043) prior to break-in. You may use synthetic
lubricants after 50 hour break-in period. See "Appendix
A: Lubricants and Compatability" for a list of suitable and
alternative lubricants.
CAUTION: Synthetic lubrication damage
If you will be using a synthetic lubricant, all downstream
piping material and system components must be
compatible.

CAUTION: Break-in period
Before initial use, open the drain valves and run the
compressor pump without air tools attached and
through open air line for 30 minutes to break-in pump
parts.
WARNING: Inflatables/Low PSI tire
Never use compressor to inflate small low-pressure
objects, i.e., balloons/inflatables, small or low volume
PSI tires. It is easy to over-pressurize them, causing
them to rupture. Identify the inflation capacity of an
object prior to filling it with air. Use a gauge to check the
pressure regularly when inflating anything.

Proper Air Hose and Tool Use

Pressure Control Related Devices

Never remove, adjust, bypass, change, modify or make
substitutions for safety/relief valves, pressure switches
or other pressure control related devices. Pressurizing
beyond the limits of the compressor could result in an
explosion.
WARNING: Overpressurization hazard
NEVER over-pressurize the receiver tank or air tools
beyond nameplate capacity. Exceeding the pressure
rating could cause them to explode or fly apart.

Compressor - Tool Requirements

 Compressor and attachments must be sized properly
for pressure and air volume.
 Consider the maximum pressure requirements and
air volume requirements of each. (The volume rating
of your compressor pump is listed in the
"Specifications" section.)
CAUTION: Tool overpressure hazard
Do not operate this unit with any tool rated less than the
maximum operating pressure of the unit (130 PSI or
175 PSI) unless a properly sized regulator limiting
pressure is used before the tool.

Using Compressor Pump for Spraying

Flammable Materials

Always follow precautions on container labels or MSDS'
before spraying flammable materials, such as paint.

Moisture in Compressed Air

Moisture in supply air when compressed will form into
droplets as it leaves air compressor pump and enters
receiver tank. When humidity is high or when a
compressor is in continuous use for an extended period
of time, a significant amount of moisture will collect in
the tank. Part of the moisture will be discharged in the
outlet air.
