CS4 arrived, my first pcp compressor.

Thought owner filled coolant, guess not. First I'd heard of soaked GX-CS4s at unboxing, at least power pack appears dry. WM

This came straight from GX. I will take the cover off shortly to look it over. Everything else was dry since the packing separated it.

My CS4-i arrived wet and also from the seller. A friend of mine who since has moved had a similar situation with his small farm. He had been there for over fifty years when a large condo project was built across the road. They literally sued his animals away from him. Even had to get rid of his last couple chickens.

That is a sad situation, even to give up his chickens. Hoping that we do not have any further issues. But we plan to redo the back fencing and increase its height.

Do yourself a big favor and search this forum for all the start up tips you should do before using your compressor for the first time. There are tons of them, from how to fill the water tank and radiator, adding led lights, hour meters, etc.....
I've had mine almost 2 years and it's been working great the whole time.
Thx

Thanks for the information. I have a steep learning curve as I'm still trying to decide on the first pcp. First purchase will be a smaller semi-auto rifle, .25/.30, that I can fit behind the tractor seat, which fits in a backpack to keep it from getting jarred around.

Here's my second compressor; they would come together, but got delayed. When we moved to our new location, there were no PB fields near us, and we have not played in several years. So it will get double duty for pcp / PB. Going to get on Facebook and see if I can find free pallets, somewhat close, and make a fun but small area on the backside of the property near the woods. I stopped by and picked up distilled water and low pH pre-mix, as they freeze here. I have to read up on both of these, as I have always relied on the fields to fill up.

I was surprised how much it weighed without the box. The empty box alone was 19 pounds; excellent packaging.

I got a late start on the first pump this evening. I had been watching and studying the gx pump compressors for some time.
It's truly amazing how quiet the CS4 is when it's working; the system still had lots of fluid in the lines, a beige color. I have been working to flush the unit this evening. I had come across an hour meter video on yt and did that this evening.

Surprised the cap isn’t water tight. Isn’t there an oring seal on it ?

It does have a nice o-ring on the cap, but it was 1/2 unscrewed when it arrived.

Finished the final flush today and let it run a little longer. It took a few measurements, and the highest inrush I saw was 34 amps. Most of the time, it was between 14 and 24 amps. Turning on the CS4 shows without pumping is about 1.9 amps. Does not seem to make much difference when the release valve is closed and going to 2 bar. The power supply is .25 amps by itself. I still see some beige color left inside one tube.
