    Hi guys I've been reading alot and have found that alot of people spray a lube into there blowers at the end of each day or even after every use, my question is where is that lube port on a 33 roots blower I'm pretty sure thts the type of blower, I know where to grease it and put oil in it but am just unsure of where the lube port is tht everyone speaks of.
    Cheers,
    Dave,

    Don't you have a port on the front of the machine just above the pressure gauge?

    The lube port is on left side of front panel. It's a round cup with a spring loaded lid.

    If you dont have a manual it would be wise to track one down they explain all those sorts of things plus provide info on maintenance/repairs etc

    I've got a manual from the web and I gotta say it doesn't really explain everything about the machine, has some good information but doesn't clearly explain what EVERYTHING does on the machine

    The Pump-In switch is for the auto-fill option, used if you run a fresh water tank with pump instead of hooking to a faucet.

    The Pump-Out switch is for the APO (automatic pump-out) option used for automatically pumping the tank out while you work.

    The switches only do something if you have the options installed, obviously.
