Since the air compressor and other
components (pump, spray guns, filters,
lubricators, hoses, etc.) used make up
a high pressure pumping system, the
following safety precautions must be
observed at all times:
1. Read all manuals included
with this product
carefully. Be thoroughly
familiar with the controls
and the proper use of the
equipment.
2. Follow all local safety codes and, in
the United States, the Occupational
Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
3. Only persons well acquainted with
these rules of safe operation should
be allowed to use the compressor.
4. Keep visitors away and NEVER allow
children in the work area.
5. Wear safety glasses and use hearing
protection when operating the
pump or unit.
6. Do not stand on or use the pump or
unit as a handhold.
7. Before each use, inspect compressed
air system, fuel system and electrical
components for signs of damage,
deterioration, weakness or leakage.
Repair or replace defective items
before using.
8. Check all fasteners at frequent
intervals for proper tightness.
Motors,
electrical equipment and
controls can cause electrical
arcs that will ignite a
flammable gas or vapor. Never operate
or repair in or near a flammable gas or
vapor. Never store flammable liquids or
gases in the vicinity of the compressor.
Never
operate compressor without
a beltguard. Compressors can
start automatically without
warning. Personal injury or property
damage could occur from contact with
moving parts.

9. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry that will get caught in the
moving parts of the unit.
Compressor parts may be hot
even if the unit is stopped.
10. Keep fingers away from a running
compressor; fast moving and hot
parts will cause injury and/or burns.
11. If the equipment should start to
vibrate abnormally, STOP the engine/
motor and check immediately for
the cause. Vibration is generally a
warning of trouble.
12. To reduce fire hazard, keep engine/
motor exterior free of oil, solvent, or
excessive grease.
Never remove or
attempt to adjust
safety valve. Keep safety valve free
from paint and other accumulations.
Never
attempt to repair or modify
a tank! Welding, drilling or
any other modification will
weaken the tank resulting in damage
from rupture or explosion. Always
replace worn or damaged tanks.
13. Tanks rust from moisture build-up,
which weakens the tank. Make sure
to drain tank regularly and inspect
periodically for unsafe conditions
such as rust formation and corrosion.
14. Fast moving air will stir up dust
and debris which may be harmful.
Release air slowly when draining
moisture or depressurizing the
compressor system.
15. Keep hoses away from sharp
objects, chemical spills, oil solvents
and wet floors which can damage
hose. Do not operate compressor
with damaged hose(s) or after the
compressor or attachments have
been dropped or damaged. Notify
the nearest authorized service
facility for examination, repair, or
other adjustment.
Never use plastic
(PVC) pipe for
compressed air. Serious injury or death
could result.

aSSeMbly InStRUCtIOnS
Disconnect, tag and lock out
power source, then release
all pressure from the system
before attempting to install, service,
relocate or perform any maintenance.
FlyWheel (vt2030, vt2731 anD

Place flywheel on the crankshaft
with setscrew threads on the outside.
Tighten setscrew to 19ft. lbs. on the
key. Keep the setscrew tight. A loose
flywheel causes a knocking noise.

Oil Capacity
Model
VT4700 and VT4800
ALL MODELS
Ensure oil drain extension has been
installed (if included), then remove the
breather and fill pump with oil. Use
SAE 30 Industrial Grade compressor oil
or full synthetic motor oil like Mobil 1
10W-30. Do not use regular automotive
oil such as 10W-30. Additives in regular
oil can cause valve deposits and reduce
pump life.
For pumps with an oil sight glass, oil
level can be monitored and maintained
as shown in Figures 2 and 3.
