SAFETY GUIDELINES - DEFINITIONS This manual contains information that is important for you to know and understand. This information relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this information, we use symbols to the right. Please read the manual and pay attention to these sections. URGENT SAFETY INFORMATION - A HAZARD THAT WILL CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE Information for preventing damage to equipment.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR Compressed Air HOW TO PREVENT IT WHAT COULD HAPPEN Compressed air can propel dust, dirt or loose particles it comes in contact with. These propelled particles may cause serious injury or damage. Never point the nozzle or sprayer toward a person or any part of the body. Always wear safety goggles or glasses when using the air compressor. Always turn the air compressor off before attaching or removing accessories.
PAGE 6
GLOSSARY SCFM or CFM: Standard Cubic Feet per Minute; a unit of measurement of air delivery. CUT-OUT PRESSURE: When you turn on your air compressor and it begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to approximately 125 PSI before the motor automatically shuts off .The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called "cut-out pressure." PSIG or PSI: Pounds per square inch gauge.
PAGE 7
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION than that desired, then bring it up to the desired pressure. Depending on the air requirements of each particular accessory, the outlet regulated air pressure may have to be adjusted while operating the accessory. Air Compressor Pump: To compress air, the piston moves up and down in the cylinder. On the downstroke, air is drawn in through the intake valves. The exhaust valves remain closed. On the upstroke of the piston, air is compressed.
PAGE 8
INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS Additional Regulators and Controls Since the air tank pressure is usually greater than that which is needed, a regulator is employed to control the air pressure ahead of any individual air driven device. RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! IN THE EVENT OF A SHORT CIRCUIT, GROUNDING REDUCES THE RISK OF SHOCK BY PROVIDING AN ESCAPE WIRE FOR THE ELECTRIC CURRENT. THIS AIR COMPRESSOR MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED.
PAGE 9
OPERATING PROCEDURES When you are finished: 6. Set the “OFF/AUTO” lever to “OFF”. 1. Before attaching air hose or accessories, make sure the OFF/AUTO lever is set to “OFF” and the air regulator or shut-off valve is closed. 7. Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the outlet pressure to zero. 2. Attach hose and accessories. 8. Remove the air tool or accessory. 9. Open the regulator and allow the air to slowly bleed from the tank. Close the regulator when tank pressure is approximately 20 psi.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE PERFORMING REPAIRS MAY EXPOSE VOLTAGE SOURCES, MOVING PARTS OR COMPRESSED AIR SOURCES. PERSONAL INJURY MAY OCCUR. PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING ANY REPAIRS, UNPLUG THE COMPRESSOR AND BLEED OFF TANK AIR PRESSURE. PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION Excessive tank pressure safety valve pops off. Pressure switch does not shut off motor when compressor reaches “cutout” pressure. Move the pressure switch lever to the “OFF” position. If the outfit doesn’t shut off, unplug.
PAGE 11
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (Continued) PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION Air leak from safety valve. Possible defect in safety valve. Operate safety valve manually by pulling on ring. If valve still leaks, it should be replaced. Knocking Noise Defective check valve. Remove and clean, or replace. Compressor is not supplying enough air to operate accessories. Prolonged excessive use of air. Decrease amount of air usage. Compressor is not large enough for air requirement. Check the accessory air requirement.
