Picked this up on Saturday at AOA. Minor damage during shipping repaired, -$500.00
Daystate 4500 psi
Daystate 4500 psi
Got Air? Yep

I had one. Follow the break in instructions and don’t run it past 4000 PSI and it will likely last for ever. $500 ? man you got the deal of the year on that one.

Ok. My misunderstanding. Most of these compressors failures are because they are not really built for what we are expecting of them. If you time the fill. You will notice it takes longer to get from 4000 to 4500 PSI Then from 2500 to 4000. That last 500 PSI really works these units and there really is no need to do that. Just fill your bottle a little more often . It’s like red lining your car. If you did that every time you no doubt would damage it. Also a warm up and more importantly a cool down when using it. Follow that advice and you will have good luck.

The same reason I don't run my Fortitude below 2500psi before I pump it back to 3000psi using a hand pump... wear and tear... ON ME! LOL!

I have a hard time pumping up my bicycle road tires to 100-110 psi, no chance I’m gonna be able to hand pump for my air rifle. I’d love to figure out how to use my bicycle to fill my 480cc tank.

Like inverter welders always run it more after the charge is done so the fan can cool it.
My Hill EC 3000 will just run the fan afterwards, yours too probably?

Yep, the instructions say to warm it up for 3-5 minutes, running but valves open so as not to build pressure, then the same once done to cool it off. I have an infrared thermometer I will probably use to keep track of the temp.
Appreciate everyone’s suggestions and warnings.

I have the bleed valve open at start up even though Hill said I don't need to, a little extra insurance. Mine has an hour meter log and I wonder if the fan-only time counts towards that. It's a keeper for sure.
Enjoy and congratulations on your great deal. We got a sauna rock heater like that with one corner banged up and that corner just happened to be in a corner and cannot see it. $900 off..... half price.

I own an LC-110 since Mar 2018. Love it.
2 minute warm up, fill, 2 minute cool down. Run it at least once a week to cycle the oil and blow out moisture.
330mL of oil *measured*, ignore the oil sight glass. You *must* remove the crank case nut when filling. Should measure right below the "high" mark on the dipstick with it fully inserted.
Enjoy your compressor! I have 12 hours on mine; mine came from AoA as well.

2 minute warm up, fill, 2 minute cool down. yep, Daystate recommends 3-4 minutes, none the less warm up and cool dow required
Run it at least once a week to cycle the oil and blow out moisture. Good idea

Should measure right below the "high" mark on the dipstick with it fully inserted. yep bought a measuring cup and used the dip stick and not the sight window. I was told error on the side of slightly less than more as the internal lubrication method is “splash”, so keep the oil in the middle of the dip stick marks. I’ll look at the manual again and see what it says.
thanks for your advice
