Just got a new GX CS4-i and it's my first compressor ever. I have zero experience, so I was wondering if any of you could help me out with advice and tips with the first time operation of the compressor.
Thanks in advance,

Hey James, yeah those are helpful, thank you.
So the instructions that came with the compressor aren't the most detailed and like I said this is my first compressor so I want to make sure I do everything right.
As I understand it, what I should do for my initial run is aside from making sure all the switches are in the right positions, fill it with distilled water, turn on the fan/water pump switch, tip it to get the air bubbles out, then make sure the bleed valve is open before I start the compressor, then open the bleed valve and start the compressor, then close the bleed valve, test it for leaks with the brass hose plug, turn off the compressor (leaving the fan and water pump on), then open the bleed valve and allow the fan and water pump to run for a couple of minutes before shutting it totally down.
Then for future use keep an eye on the water and turn the grease knob 1 full turn after every 4-6 hours of operation.
Does that sound right or am I missing anything?
P.S.
I also got a 30Mpa inline oil/water filter, and I'm also going to do the coolant flow light mod as well. But I'm not spending $50 for that guys kit in the video. That's a pretty cool setup he has, but $50 is a little outrageous for a couple of leds. I can grab some blue LEDs on Amazon and do it myself for $7.
