Everyone who uses this pump must read and understand this manual. Enjoy the
exceptional performance of your NorthStar pump.

IMPORTANT

Make certain the operator:

- Reads and understands the manuals pertaining to this tank.

- Is instructed in safe and proper operation of this air compressor tank.

NOTICE

Northern Tool + Equipment reserves the right to make improvements in design and/or
changes in specifications at any time without incurring any obligation to install them on
units previously sold.

WARNINGS

ALWAYS bleed pressure from tank before servicing.

ALWAYS use air handling parts that are rated above the maximum allowable working

pressure of the tank.

ALWAYS drain tank daily or after each use. Rusted tanks can cause explosion and
cause severe injury or death.

ALWAYS read your owners manual before operating.

ALWAYS use at least one ASME safety relief valve rated at 200 psi or below.

ALWAYS use an ASME certified air receiver tank.

ALWAYS use Teflon tape on all treads to reduce leaks.

NEVER exceed the nameplate rating of the tank (200 psi working pressure). Exceeding
this rating can cause explosion and cause severe injury or death.

NEVER operate machine without a belt guard in place.

NEVER bypass, modify, or remove safety/relief valves.

NEVER direct air stream at people or animals

NEVER modify or repair tank, obtain an ASME replacement from a service center or

COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION

CAUTION! Do not operate without lubricant or with inadequate lubricant.

Use of compressor without lubricant or inadequate lubricant voids all warranties.

Synthetic Lubricants

Synthetic lubricants are recommended after 50 hour break-in. Compressor life is greatly increased with the
use of synthetic lubricants. CAUTION! If you will be using synthetic lubricant, all downstream piping material
and system components must be compatible.

Suitable Viton®, Teflon®, Epoxy (Glass Filled), Oil Resistant Alkyd, Fluorosilicone, Flourocarbon,

Polysulfide, 2-Component Urethane, Nylon, Delrin®, Celcon®, High Nitrile Rubber (Buna N. NBR more
than 36 Acrylonite), Polyurethane, Polyethylene, Epichlorohydrin, Polyacrylate, Melamine,
Polypropylene, Baked Phenolics, Epoxy, Modified Alkyds
( ® indicates trademark of DuPont Corporation)

Not Recommended

Neoprene, Natural Rubber, SBR Rubber, Acrylic Paint, Lacquer, Varnish, Polystyrene, PVC, ABS,
Polycarbonite, Cellulose Acetate, Latex, EPR, Acrylics, Phenoxy, Polysulfones, Styrene Acrylonitile
(San), Butyl

Alternate Lubricants.

You may use petroleum-based lubricant that is premium quality, does not contain detergents, contains only
anti-rust, anti-oxidation, and anti-foam agents as additives, has a flashpoint of 440°F (227°C) or higher, and
has a auto-ignition point of 650°F (343°C) or higher.

See the petroleum lubricant viscosity table below. The table is intended as a general guide only. Heavy duty
operating conditions require heavier viscosities. Refer specific operating conditions to NorthStar Product
