While filling the tank, it is best to open the drain valves allowing filtered water and oil out of the compressor. You can begin opening the tank valve and the filling hose valve when pressure reaches 500 psi (35 bars). You will observe in the pressure gauge that the pressure will start to rise. Afterwards, close the oil and water drain valve. You can now attach the filling hose to the scuba tank but make sure the the tank valve and the filling hose valve are still close. Special orientation is needed if you are using a gasoline motor where you need to position the compressor in such a way that the fumes of the gasoline motor does not get into the plastic intake filter tube.Īfter starting the engine, allow the compressor to run for a couple of seconds. Turn the oil and water drain valve open then start the engine.

But not just any oil (car engine oil is a BIG NO NO) as the Bauer Junior II has its own specified compressor oil. But just in case there is none, then you need to add oil. Brand new compressor is already filled with compressor oil before getting out of the factory for shipment. First, check if there is compressor oil by pulling out the oil dipstick. Let’s say there’s no damage and want to try the compressor, you need to do some pre-starting checkup before you turn on the motor. Otherwise, you need to send it back to your supplier. After taking the compressor unit out of the packaging container, you need to check if there are damages caused by shipping. Let’s say you have purchased a brand new Bauer Junior II. It has an easy access oil filler neck, an oil dipstick and an oil drain valve that makes the task of checking and changing compressor oil very easy. Considered as the heart of any compressor, the compressor block, especially from the Bauer Junior II Specifications, has been proven to be both durable and reliable where its compressor components can efficiently work for decades with minimal maintenance required.Īmong the compact features of a Bauer Junior II Specifications is the plateau-shaped cylinders that have been relatively reduced in size while maintaining compression power and the built-in cooling system which partially stores cool high pressure air before it enters a scuba tank.
