Whoa, so my compressor is scheduled to be delivered today. The tracking info shows that it's 112lb, is there like 33lbs of packing foam or something?

I meant to taunt you earlier to ask if you were waiting by the door yet 
Yeah man, this thing is packaged so well I think UPS/FedEx could just kick it out the back loading gate and never slow down the vehicle when delivering and it'd take no damage. Just wait until you see it.

Haha, it's funny - I saw FedEx roll up ~5 minutes after I posted. You're absolutely right, this packaging is superb! I'm blown away at how small this thing is, I had it in my mind that it was the size of my gas power generator lol

\o/ happy Christmas in May! Looks great man and 100% exactly what mine looked like from AOA. My AOA manual said not to worry about teflon tape but I had a minor leak where the DIN 300 connected to the hose and some teflon tape on the threads fixed it.
Same twist tie tag too on the side of the fan cage -- "no oil"
Enjoy! Oh, note of warning, put an old T-Shirt under the bleed valve because during break in it'll spit a bit of oil. Just wait until you hear how quiet it (based on my frame of experience reference).

Will do on the t-shirt! I just got it filled with oil, slightly mesmerized watching the air bubbles pop up through the fill tube. I guess I'll see if it works in a few ..

Hey did you remove the nut by the fill cap, mine never bubbled, it's an air release for filling w/oil

It works! That condensation discharge valve scared the hell out of me .. I wasn't expecting that much pressure to get released lol.

Thanks! That would have saved me some time, the manual is a little funky and AGD didn't send something like that with it. I had ran it for a minute and filled a little 90cu/in bottle first, running it now for the 10mins prescribes in that doc.
How are you guys tracking run time? I don't see a clock anywhere - just using a timer and an Excel spreadsheet for now unless there's something I'm missing.

Cool cool, glad I scanned it, I was worried I was telling ya stuff you already knew. I know a few on the thread are using a vibration based run-meter. I took the lazy route and I'm just tracking time based on bottle top-offs. 2 minutes run, 5 minutes fill, 2 minutes run ~10 minutes give or take. I just have a dry-erase marker and I'm doing hash marks on a metal panel to track that way. Figure it's "good enough" in addition to monitoring oil levels and oil quality on the dip. Looking now I'm up to about 1h 10m.

Thanks for posting your 110v Comp. Instructions, step 5 is omitted in the 220v Comp. Manual that I have. It makes sense, and I am going to follow the same procedure.

Right on, that works too!
It took around 45 minutes to get my 97cu/ft Great White from ~2950psi to ~4400. Runs nice and smooth, but I'm definitely looking to add a moisture separator to the output circuit now.
Man, what a GREAT feeling it is knowing that I don't have to coordinate getting my tanks filled at fill places now! The local dive shops can't fill over 3900, and the shop that does fire department equipment jacked up the price to $33!!! I fill twice a week, so I should hit my ROI in 30-32 weeks

Well this is a little scary - there's a little oil coming out of my moisture purge valve when I open the valve :0
I didn't overfill it with oil, so this is a concern to say the least.

I've put 23 hours on my filter cartridge and the strip is still blue usually about 40% humidity.
