If you own a Lil' Foot 2 personal compressor you might want to know how to get the most out of it. By "get the most out f it" I mean, Keep it running, trouble free, well past the end of the manufacturer's one year warranty.
In this video we walk through how to set up, test and operate the compressor to fill pre-charged pneumatic airguns using AC and DC power...It's simple.
I also discuss the absolutely critical things you must do to make your compressor last.
1-Always turn the fan on before you start the compressor motor!
2-Don't fill for more than 20 minutes at a time. Heat builds up over time, and it kills electronic components.
3-Add a couple drops of pure silicone oil (included) during every fill.
4-Depressurize the system before you start the compressor motor. DO NOT start your compressor with compressed air in the line.
Re-read #2 and 4. Learn it, Live it, Love it.
The Lil' Foot 2.0 is a sturdy and capable compressor. I've torture tested these units past what I'm willing to publicly admit without a disclaimer to "not try this while someone else is holding your beer." I know where the failure points are. If you follow my recommendations there is no reason that your compressor shouldn't last well beyond the end of the warranty period, and you might not even need to use the rebuild kit!
There are other personal compressors on the market that look and function similarly to the Lil' Foot. Feel free to watch, and if I can help your compressor live a longer, trouble free life.
