SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING!!!
You are completely responsible for your own safety and the safety of those with you.
Oasis Mfg. will not be responsible and will not assume any liability for indirect,
incidental, or consequential loss, damage, injury, expense or inconvenience to property
or persons as a result of use or misuse of this product.
Compressor and motor surfaces become extremely hot during use To avoid serious
burns, do not tou h any part of this equipment, with bare hands during or for up to 30
minutes immediately following operation
1. Only persons who have read and understand these instructions should be
allowed to use this compressor.
2. The air produ ed by this ompressor is not fit for human or animal
onsumption and it must not be used to provide a breathing air supply.
3. Do not operate compressor with any damaged hose(s) or after the compressor
or attachments have been dropped or damaged.
4. Never use while sleepy or drowsy.
5. Do not use near flames.
6. Do not pump anything but air.
7. Never point any air nozzle at any person or animal. Serious injury may result.
8. Under no circumstances ever rely on a safety valve alone to protect this
compressor in place of a pressure switch.
9. Never operate near a flammable gas or liquid. Never store flammable liquids
or gasses in the vicinity of the compressor.
10. Keep this equipment’s exterior clean and free of oil, solvent and grease to
reduce fire hazard.
11. Release all pressure from the system before attempting to install or perform
maintenance to the system (tank, air lines, etc.).
12. Be sure any tools or attachments are compatible with the pressure and flow rate
of this equipment.
13. Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness and cleanliness.
14. Do not attempt to disassemble, modify or repair this equipment.
INSTALLATION
Mounting location should be:
Vertical – The intake and output fittings must be located on top of the compressor for
proper lubrication.
Dry – Avoid mounting in a location that may become submerged if possible. The air
intake filter must be mounted in a dry location. Use a section of 5/8” heater hose to
remotely mount it if necessary.
Cool and well ventilated – This will allow the compressor to run for longer periods.
Away from combustible/meltable materials – Compressor gets extremely hot during
operation.

1. Temporarily position the compressor in the mounting location to ensure fit and
adequate clearance. Be sure location is sturdy enough to support compressor
properly.
2. Drill four holes in the mounting surface to line up with the four holes in the
bottom of the compressor, and mount using four 3/8”-16 cap screws or studs on
the bottom of the compressor.
3. Install an air filter or fitting for a filtered intake line into the suction port, and
an air hose or air line fitting into discharge port. Use heat resistant hose or
tubing. Warning: Do not tighten fittings to more that 20 ft/lbs (finger tight
plus no more than one full turn). Doing so may ra k the head! Do not
use Teflon tape! Pie es of tape an get su ked into the ompressor valves.
We recommend the use of Loctite #567 high temp pipe thread sealant.
4. Use a clutch with a properly tapered bore to drive the compressor. Ensure the
clutch is sized for proper RPM. For continuous duty applications do not
exceed 2000 rpm.
5. Use a pressure switch to control the clutch and shut the compressor off at
200psi or less. Read item #9 under SAFETY INFORMATION
6. For installations involving tanks, some applications may require the use of a
one way check valve at the output of the compressor to prevent air flow back
into the compressor.
7. Some oil vapor discharge during operation is normal. If an application
requires oil free air delivery, a coalescing air line filter may be required to
separate oil mist and moisture out of the air line. The filter must be rated at
least 175 deg. and should be located at the output of the tank.
8. Compressor is shipped with oil. Check oil sight glass after compressor has
been sitting level for at least one hour. If oil level is not visible within a few
minutes, add oil until it is visible in window. Use a full synthetic, SAE 30 (ISO
100) weight air compressor oil.

manufa turer for larifi ation.
OPERATING NOTE
All air compressors generate heat. Excessive heat build up will destroy this product very
quickly, and will void warranty. Factors that affect temperature generation at the head
are operating RPM and pressure. The faster the pump is run, and/or the higher the
pressure it is operated at, the more heat will be generated. Ducted air flow aimed
directly at the head will help manage heat build up. Do not allow head temperatures
to ex eed 350 degrees F. If in doubt about the suitability of this product for a particular
application, run a qualification test before placing the compressor in service.
MAINTENANCE
Check oil level after every 50 hours of operation. If no oil is visible in window, remove
oil plug from side of compressor and add oil until visible in window. Use a full
synthetic, SAE 30 (ISO 100) weight air compressor oil.
Ensure air intake filter is clean at all times.
