Your Shoebox is equipped with wicking felt oiler strips. A felt strip is
pinched in the black nuts at the ends of each cylinder. USE ONLY
SILICONE OIL that is supplied with your unit to saturate the felt
strips. The oil will wick onto the pistons as it runs. After about 10
hours check the felt strips and if needed, apply more silicone oil.
AC Motor
The Dayton AC motor is 1/3 horsepower and runs off standard 110
volt household current. It should be plugged into a grounded 20 amp
receptacle. The motor has built-in overload protection and will shut off
if overheated. The motor will start unexpectedly when cooled off, so
be sure to unplug unit if overheating occurs.
