Know The Air Compressor
READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES
BEFORE OPERATING THE UNIT. Compare the illustrations
with the unit to familiarize yourself with the location of
various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for
future reference.
Description of Operation (Fig. A)
Become familiar with these controls before operating
the unit.
AUTO (-) / OFF (O) SWITCH
Place this switch (1) in the "AUTO (-)" position to provide
automatic power to the pressure switch and "OFF (O)" to
remove power at the end of each use.
PRESSURE SWITCH (NOT SHOWN)
The pressure switch (2) automatically starts the motor when
the air tank pressure drops below the factory set "cut-in”
pressure. It stops the motor when the air tank pressure
reaches the factory set "cut-out" pressure.
SAFETY VALVE
If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at
its “cut-out” pressure setting, the safety valve (3) will protect
against high pressure by “popping out” at its factory set
pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch “cut-out”
setting).
TANK PRESSURE GAUGE (SUPPLIED)
The tank pressure gauge (4) indicates the reserve air
pressure in the tank.
AIR INTAKE FILTER
The filter (6) is designed to clean air entering the pump. To
ensure the pump continually receives a clean, cool, and dry
air supply, the filter must always be clean and the filter
intake must be free from obstructions.
REGULATOR (SOLD SEPARATELY, NOT SHOWN)
Controls the air pressure shown on the outlet pressure
gauge. Turn regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure
and counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
WARNING: Risk of Bursting. Too much air pressure
causes a hazardous risk of bursting. Check the
manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air
tools and accessories. The tank outlet pressure
must never exceed the maximum pressure rating
of the tools or accessories.
AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP
Compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not available
until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above
that required at the air outlet.
DRAIN VALVE
The drain valve (8) is located at the base of the air tank and is
used to drain condensation at the end of each use.
CHECK VALVE
When the air compressor is operating, the check valve (5) is
"open", allowing compressed air to enter the air tank. When
the air compressor reaches “cut-out” pressure, the check
valve "closes", allowing air pressure to remain inside the air
tank.
MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
The motor has a thermal overload protector. If the motor
overheats for any reason, the overload protector will shut off the
motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down before
restarting.
To restart:
1. Move the Auto/Off switch to "OFF (O)" and unplug unit.
2. Allow the motor to cool.
3. Depress the red reset button (10) on the motor.
4. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit
receptacle.
5. Move the Auto/Off switch to "AUTO (-)".
How to Use The Unit
How to Stop
1. Move the Auto/Off switch to "OFF (O)".
2. Unplug unit when not in use.
Before Starting
WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you read this
instruction manual for safety, operation and
maintenance instructions.
Break-in Procedure
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Serious damage may result if
the following break-in instructions are not closely followed.
This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into
service and when the check valve or a complete compressor
pump has been replaced.
1. Make sure the Auto/Off switch is in the "OFF (O)"
position.
2. Check oil level in pump. See Oil paragraph in the
Maintenance section for instructions.
3. Recheck all wiring. Make sure wires are secure at all
terminals connections. Make sure all contacts move
freely and are not obstructed.
4. Open the drain valve fully to permit air to
escape and prevent air pressure build up in the air tank
during the break-in period.
5. Move the Auto/Off switch to "AUTO (-)" position. The
compressor will start.
6. Run the compressor for 30 minutes. Make sure the
drain valve and all air lines are open so there is only a
minimal air pressure build-up in tank.
NOTE: After about 30 minutes, If the unit does not
operate properly, SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY, and
contact Product Service.
7. Check for excessive vibration. Re-adjust or shim air
compressor feet, if necessary.
8. After 30 minutes, turn the Auto/Off switch to the "OFF (O)"
position.
9. Close the drain valve.
10. Move the Auto/Off switch to the "AUTO (-)" position.
The air receiver will fill to “cut-out” pressure and the
motor will stop.
11. Check all air line fittings and connections/piping for air
leaks by applying a soap solution. Correct if necessary.
NOTE: Minor leaks can cause the air compressor to
overwork, resulting in premature breakdown or
inadequate performance.
12. The compressor is now ready for use.
ENGLISH
Before Each Start-Up
1. Every day check the sight glass (15) to ensure that the
level of oil in the pump is at the required level.
2. Move Auto/Off switch to "OFF (O)".
3. Close the drain valve.
4. Visually inspect air lines and fittings for leaks.
5. Check safety valve. See To Check Safety Valve
under Maintenance.
6. Attach hose and accessories.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp
air hose in hand when installing or disconnecting
to prevent hose whip.
Warning: Risk of unsafe operation. Do not use
damaged or worn accessories.
NOTE: The hose or accessory will require a quick connect
plug if the air outlet is equipped with a quick connect
socket.
WARNING: Risk of bursting. Too much air pressure
causes a hazardous risk of bursting. Check the
manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air
tools and accessories. The regulator outlet
pressure must never exceed the maximum
pressure rating.
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Compressed air from the
unit may contain water condensation and oil mist. Do not
spray unfiltered air at an item that could be damaged by
moisture. Some air tools and accessories may require filtered
air. Read the instructions for the air tools and accessories.
How to Start
1. Move the Auto/Off switch to "AUTO (-)" and allow
tank pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank
pressure reaches “cut-out” pressure.
2. When the tank pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure
open the air discharge valve.
IMPORTANT: When using a regulator and other accessories
refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING: Risk of bursting. If any unusual noise or
vibration is noticed, stop the compressor
immediately and have it checked by a trained
service technician.
3. The compressor is ready for use.
How to Shut Down
1. Move Auto/Off switch to the "OFF (O)" position.
NOTE: If finished using compressor, follow
steps 2 - 5.
2. Drain the air tank, see Draining Air Tank under
Maintenance. Ensure air tank pressure gauge reads
0 PSI (0 kPa).
3. Remove hose and accessory.
4. Allow the compressor to cool down.
5. Wipe air compressor clean and store in a safe,
non-freezing area.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp
air hose in hand when installing or disconnecting
to prevent hose whip.
WARNING: Risk of bursting. Drain air tank daily.
Water will condense in air tank. If not drained,
water will corrode and weaken the air tank
causing a risk of air tank rupture.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power
source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Unit cycles
automatically when power is on. When performing
maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage
sources, compressed air, or moving parts. Personal
injuries can occur. Before performing any
maintenance or repair, disconnect power source
from the compressor and bleed off all air pressure.
To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air
compressor outfit, a routine maintenance schedule should be
prepared and followed. The following routine maintenance
schedule is geared to an outfit in a normal working
environment operating on a daily basis. If necessary, the
schedule should be modified to suit the conditions under
which the compressor is used. The modifications will depend
upon the hours of operation and the working environment.
Compressor outfits in an extremely dirty and/or hostile
environment will require a greater frequency of all
maintenance checks.

*To check for air leaks apply a solution of soapy water around
joints. While compressor is pumping to pressure and after
pressure cuts out, look for air bubbles to form.
**the pump oil must be changed after the first 20 hours of
operation. Thereafter, when using full synthetic non-detergent
air compressor oil, change oil every 100 hours of operation or
once a year, whichever comes first.
+Perform more frequent in dusty or humid conditions.
