IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Save these instructions Improper operation or maintenance of this product could result in serious injury and property damage. Read and understand all warnings and operation instructions before using this equipment. HAZARD WARNING: Risk of explosion or fire What Could Happen How To Prevent It It is normal for electrical contacts within the motor and pressure switch to spark.
HAZARD WARNING: Risk from Flying Objects WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT The compressed air stream can cause soft tissue damage to exposed skin and can propel dirt, chips, loose particles, and small objects at high speed, resulting in property damage or personal injury. Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses with side shields when using the compressor. Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward any part of the body or at other people or animals.
HAZARD WARNING: Risk to Breathing WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT The compressed air directly from your compressor is not safe for breathing. The air stream may contain carbon monoxide, toxic vapors, or solid particles from the tank. Breathing these contaminants can cause serious injury or death. Air obtained directly from the compressor should never be used to supply air for human consumption.
HAZARD WARNING: RISK FROM MOVING PARTS WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT Moving parts such as the pulley, flywheel, and belt can cause serious injury if they com into contact with you or your clothing. Never operate the compressor with guards or covers which are damaged or removed. Attempting to operate compressor with damaged or missing parts or attempting to repair compressor with protective shrouds removed can expose you to moving parts and can result in serious injury.
ON-RECEIPT INSPECTION Each air compressor outfit is carefully checked before shipment. With improper handling, damage may result in transit and cause problems in air compressor operation. Immediately upon arrival, check equipment for both concealed and visible damages to avoid expenses being incurred to correct such problems. This should be done regardless of any visible signs of damage to the shipping container. Report any damages to carrier and arrange for inspection of goods immediately.
INSTALLATION HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT Location of the Air Compressor Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area. The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling. The ventilation openings on the compressor are necessary to maintain proper operating temperature. Do not place rags or other containers on or near these openings. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Extension Cords Using extension cords is not recommended. The use of extension cords will cause voltage to drop resulting in power loss to the motor and overheating. Instead of using an extension cord, increase the working reach of the air hose by attaching another length of hose to its end. Attach additional lengths of hose as needed.
OPERATION Know Your Air Compressor READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustrations with your unit to familiarize yourself with the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future reference.

HOW TO START 1. Place On/Off switch to “OFF”. 2. Plug the power cord into the grounded outlet. 3. Place On/Off switch to “ON” to start compressor. 4. Check the manufacturer's maximum pressure rating for the air tool, accessory, or vehicle tire being used. The air compressor outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating. Slowly increase the pressure setting of the adjustable pressure valve.
TROUBLESHOOTING Voltage sources, moving parts, or compressed air sources are exposed when repairing the compressor. Personal injury can occur. Unplug the compressor before attempting any repairs. PROBLEM Air Leaks CAUSE Hose fitting loose. CORRECTION Tighten fitting. Compressor is not delivering enough air. Prolonged excessive use of air. Decrease the amount of air usage. Your compressor is not large enough for the air requirement. Hole in hose. Replace the hose. Air leaks. Tighten fittings.
