Husky Husky 30-Gallon Portable Air Compressor C302H C302H

Warning: Ensure the machine is turned off and cooled down before starting the procedure.

Oil drain plug removed and oil drained into a suitable container

Oil drain plug replaced and tightened securely

Note: Crankcase oil capacity is approximately 10.6 fluid ounces (313,5 ml).

Note: When filling the crankcase, the oil flows very slowly into the pump. If the oil is added too quickly, it will overflow and appear to be full.

Oil fill plug replaced and tightened securely

WARNING: Drain the tank to release air pressure before removing the oil fill cap or oil drain plug.

CAUTION: Overfilling with oil will cause premature air compressor failure. Do not overfill.

NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Use air compressor oil only. Multi-weight automotive engine oils like 10W30 should not be use in air compressors. They leave carbon deposits on critical components, thus reducing performance and compressor life.

Is the oil level to the middle of the sight glass?

If needed remove the oil fill plug and slowly add oil until it reaches the middle of the sight glass.

Turn the air compressor off, lock out the power supply, and relieve all air pressure from the air tank

Place a straightedge (S) against the outside of the flywheel (P) and the motor drive pulley (R)

Measure the distance between the edge of the belt (Q) and the straightedge at points A1 and A2 in the figure

If the difference is greater than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm), loosen the set screw holding the motor drive pulley (R) to the shaft and adjust the pulley position on the shaft until the A1 and A2 measurements are within 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) of each other

Tighten the motor drive pulley set screw

Visually inspect the motor drive pulley to verify that it is perpendicular to the drive motor shaft. Points B1 and B2 of the figure should appear to be equal. If they are not, loosen the setscrew of the motor drive pulley and equalize B1 and B2, using care not to disturb the belt alignment previously performed

Retighten the motor drive pulley setscrew. Torque to 145–165 in. lbs. (16.4–20.3 Nm)

DANGER: Do not tamper with the safety valve. Items loosened from this device could fly up and hit you. Failure to heed this warning could result in death or serious personal injury.

The safety valve automatically releases air when the receiver pressure exceeds the preset maximum. Check the valve before each day of use by pulling the ring by hand.

WARNING: If air leaks after releasing the safety valve ring or if the valve is stuck, do not use the air compressor until the safety valve has been replaced. Using the air compressor in this condition could result in serious personal injury.

Set the AUTO/OFF switch to the AUTO position, and wait for the tank to fill. The compressor automatically shuts off when the pressure reaches the preset maximum.

Set the AUTO/OFF switch (5) to the off position.

Pull the ring on the safety valve for 20 seconds to release the air.

Release the ring. Air stops escaping at about 20 psi. If air continues to escape after releasing the safety valve ring, discontinue use and seek service before using the air compressor again.

WARNING: When servicing, use only identical Husky replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

WARNING: Always release all pressure, disconnect from the power supply, and allow the unit to cool to the touch before cleaning or making repairs on the air compressor.

WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.

Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using this tool for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air.

The safety valve automatically releases air when the receiver pressure exceeds the preset maximum.

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use.

Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

Drain the air tank of moisture after operation.
