prior to connecting it to the compressor.
NEVER oil or lubricate the compressor coupler or bottle
fittings. NEVER use any penetrating oil or lubricant such as
WD-40 or 3 in One. If connection difficulty is experienced
verify that the bottle fitting is being inserted straight down
into the compressor coupler. If continued difficulty is
experienced contact your supplier for assistance.
Before moving or repositioning either the compressor or
