Before connecting new cheap compressors

Run it with valve wide open unconnected to air lines because crap comes out.

Yesterday i got a $120 oil-less 3gal almost 3cfm compressor for tires, small spraying, ect.
10 minute break-in it says in manual with drain open. I did, with white sock over valve to see for fun what comes out.
Fine particles either carbon or plastic & fingers now feel like i used silicone which they probably lubed piston with.
I'll be doing a couple more break-ins before going further. Defintely needs short hose with filter before anything.
