Another Speedaire question
by Michael
I just purchased a used SpeedAire No. 4B247A. I have no Owner's Manual for it. 1) Is a manual available? and 2) What kind of lubricating oil does it use. I am sure it has never been changed. Please advise
Hello Michael:
More and more stores are selling their own house brands of compressors, and the actual manufacturing origin of those compressors is China.
It is difficult for someone with a house brand compressor to even contact, let alone get meaningful answers from the factory.
Asking a clerk at the store where the compressor comes from generates astonished looks and puzzled frowns; "why sir, it comes from the warehouse in Chicago", or some such location. They don't know the source.
Fortunately, you have acquired a Speedaire compressor, yes, a house brand, yet the folks that sell them assure me that they have information and parts for their compressors going back decades.
Here are guidelines for
getting Speedaire parts. Go to that page, and follow instructions to help you find your local Speedaire supplier for parts and manuals.
Cheers,
Bill
