Seems like an odd question. I mean, you always try to keep things running to the newest condition possible. The start-up kit is a must and will get you up running smoothly. These are some top quality compressors, I've yet to have a problem with this.

Yes, you should break in any new oiled compressor. The instructions state to run the compressor continuously for about 30 mins with the drain valve open (no load). Although the instructions do not say so, it would be wise to change the oil at 5 hours as well.

Mine has functioned the same since new. It's really a nice reliable compressor. I believe a replacement of the crankcase oil is probably the best thing to do at some point.

if the lug nuts have been over torqued I would also suggest using the x lug nut tool to "break" them. This tool is good for the home owner changing tires on various equipment where a air tool isn't handy. It is not made for use in a tire store. I am satisfied with it.

Yes. Make sure that the compressor is running when you push the oil in and it will be much easier.

I'm told that they should work well together ... not an issue in my case since it all leaked out of the compressor, but for the price I learned and did not have to pay a tech for the answer. New Compressor time! To be totally sure Lou, I would ask any tech in any repair shop JUST TO BE SURE. I'm a backyard mechanic but NOT a pro.

No, upon installation turned on the vehicle and the compressor was whisper quiet. A complete 180 from the previous compressor, which was as load as a jumbo jet. This new compressor works like a champ and is very quiet.

The air compressor is a must. My husband has one, which I believe he bought at Sears. This thing is really big!

No most compressors do not come with the pressure switch installed. There is just a metal plug in the hole where it goes. If your vehicle has a high pressure switch you would have to move the switch for your old compressor over to the new one. This is not hard. It is held in place by a snap ring. If you do not have snap ring pliers, I was able to remove it with a very small set of needle nose pliers.

I no expert ...but I think it might damage the compressor to operate it that way.....also it is really a top load design....but overall I really like the unit....better than I expected....fast cooling times

There isn't a break-in but the problem might be the scraper. The scraper on the back bottom wears down just like the paddles and new paddles raise up the blower up. Look to see if you are blowing snow back under the back as you are going along. I always recommend replacing the scraper at the same time as the paddles.

The tool is a vacuum pump, not an air compressor. You need AC gauge lines to use the pump correctly.

I picked up factory reconditioned Bostitch compressor here on Amazon. It looked new out of the box and it's performed well. A little over hundred bucks.

Not sure about the compressor details, but the air hammer will def do the job

When you get the compressor, spin the wheel and check the run-out. If it wobbles at all, reject it. If it does not wobble, install with a full freon charge and a full oil charge.

I had the same problem. You don't need to press it to hard to the surface or maybe your air compressor is up to high. Hope this helps�

The one I purchased broke, the compressor where the pump was located carcked.

Yes but there will be a slight delay because the compressor is not allowed to come back on immediately to protect it. When the pressures are correct it will come back on.

yeah. that is how it works. the fan stays on while the compressor un-freezes. Sorry to hear you bought one of those. They are pretty lousy and low quality. Mine died after very little use just after the warranty ran out.
