SPECIFICATIONS
1. Inlet Air Pressure: 115 PSI Maximum
2. Operation Pressure: 100 PSI Maximum
3. Reservoir Capacity: 23.75 Gallons
ASSEMBLY
Assemble hose, control handle, etc. with Teflon tape and
pipe dope.
CHARGING THE DISPENSER WITH AIR
1. Regulate the air supply hose that you are using to charge the
dispensing unit to 100 PSI maximum.
2. Make sure the air shutoff valve (See Diagram) on the
dispensing unit is in the “Closed” position. (see picture 1)
3. Connect the air supply hose to the air connector on the top
of the tank.
4. Turn the air shutoff valve to the ”Open” position (see picture 2
and Diagram).
5. When the pressure gauge on the dispenser (see picture 3)
reaches 100 PSI, turn the air shutoff valve (See Diagram)
on the dispensing unit to the “Closed” position (see picture 1).
Do not attempt to over-charge the unit with more than 100 PSI.
6. Remove the air supply hose from the air connector on the top
of the tank.

WARNING
Read carefully and understand all INSTRUCTIONS before operating. Failure to follow the
safety rules and other basic safety precautions may result in serious personal injury.
Save these instructions in a safe place and on hand so that they can be read when required.
Keep these instructions to assist in future servicing.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING: Read and understand all instructions.
WARNING:
The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction
manual cannot cover all possible conditions or situations that could occur. It must be
understood
by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built
into this
product, but must be supplied by the operator.
WARNING
• Do not deliver corrosive or flammable liquids.
• Do not expose the tank to heat sources
• Do not weld only use the applicance for its intended purpose.

7. Make sure that the oil shutoff valve (See Page 4) is in the “Open” position (see picture 4).
The oil shutoff valve is for servicing the unit only, thus it should always be left in the
“Open” position.
8. Open the non-drip tip on the meter (see picture 5). Place the tip of the meter into a container
used for waste oil. Pull the trigger on the digital meter to prime the oil hose and meter. This
will bleed off any air in the dispensing system.
9. Close the non-drip tip on the meter (see picture 5).
10. Reset the digital meter to zero.
11. The unit is now ready for dispensing. When the oil delivery rate falls below an acceptable
level, recharge the air pressure in the unit by repeating steps 1-7 above.
SERIVCE
1. Make sure that the unit is not connected to an air hose and that the air connector is not
obstructed before servicing.
2. Make sure the unit is not pressurized. Turn the air shutoff valve (the valve with the red knob)
to the “Open” position (see picture 2) to bleed off any pressure inside the unit.
CAUTION:
Be careful not to place your eyes or anything else in the way of the air connector while draining
the air pressure. The air gauge must read “0” before attempting to remove the fill cap.
3. Remove the fill cap.
4. It is now safe to perform service work on the unit.
OPERATION
This unit allows for oil dispense directly from the pressurized container through a digital meter
at approximately 8 quarts per minute. The unit uses air pressure to dispense oils. The
dispenser holds 23 gallons and is refillable through the top fill cap. The unit incorporates a sight
gauge that allows the user to monitor the oil capacity. A safety pop-off valve is standard on the
unit.
WARNINGS:
1. The unit is pressurized with approximately 100 PSI. Do not attempt to remove the fill cap or
service the dispenser when the unit is pressurized. The unit’s air gauge mut read “0” before
attempting to remove the fill cap.
2. Do not overcharge the unit. 100 PSI is the maximum working pressure. Overcharging the
unit can result in serious injury.
3. Do not attempt to alter, obstrict or remove the calibrated safety pop-off valve. It is factory
preset and cannot be adjusted. If the valve becomes damaged, discontinue using the unit
and call for service immediately. Failure to do so could cause serious injury.
4. Do not run the unit dry. The digital meter will read air coming through the dispense hose.
Consistently monitor the oil level via the sight gauge located on the side of the unit.
5. It is important that the unit is filled with air that is free of contamination. It is strongly
recommended that the air source has a drop-leg water trap.

FILLING THE DISPENSER WITH OIL
1. Make sure that the unit is not connected to an air supply source and that the air connector
on the unit is not obstructed.
CAUTION:
2. Make sure the unit is not pressurized.Turn the air shutoff valve (See Diagram) to the ”Open”
position (see picture 2) to bleed off any pressure inside the unit. Do not place your eyes or
anything else in the way of the air connector when the air pressure is draining. The units’ air
gauge must read ”0” before attempting to remove the fill cap.
3. Remove the top fill cap from the unit.
4. Utilizing the funnel supplied, fill the unit to the point where the side mounted sight gauge is
completely filled with oil.
5. Replace the fill cap tightly.
