Do not smoke while spraying or spray where spark or flame is present. Arcing parts - keep compressor at least 20 feet away from explosive vapors, such as when spraying with a spray gun. 2. Risk of bursting - do not adjust regulator higher than marked maximum pressure of attachment. 3.
TO PREVENT ELECTRIC SHOCK AND DEATH FROM INCORRECT GROUNDING WIRE CONNECTION: A qualified electrician must connect the compressor to a 240VAC/60Hz power supply, rated to at least 25 amps. Do not use the compressor if the connector is damaged. If damaged, have it repaired by a service facility before use. Permanently Connected Compressors Safety Grounding This Compressor should be connected to a grounded metal permanent wiring system; or to a system having an equipment-grounding conductor.

Operating Instructions Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product. Safety Compressor Area Set Up 1. Designate a work area that is clean and well‑lit. The work area must not allow access by children or pets to prevent injury. 2. Locate the Compressor on a flat level surface to ensure proper pump lubrication and to prevent damage to the unit.
Emergency Depressurization Safety If it is necessary to quickly depressurize the Compressor, turn the Power Switch OFF. Then, pull on the ring on the Safety Valve to quickly release stored air pressure. Figure F: Safety Valve Automatic Shut off System b. Wait until the Compressor cools down (about 10 minutes); c. If the unit does not start up again on its own, press the Reset Button to start the compressor; Reset Button 2. Possible causes of repeated automatic shut off of the compressor are: a.
Maintenance and Servicing Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician. Safety TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM AUTOMATIC OPERATION: Turn the Power Switch “OFF” and DISCONNECT and TAG OUT the compressor’s power source, turn the switch off, and relieve all air pressure before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures. TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM COMPRESSOR FAILURE: Do not use damaged equipment.
Oil Maintenance CAUTION! TO PREVENT INJURY FROM BURNS: Allow Air Compressor to cool before changing the oil. 1. Place a container under the Oil Drain Bolt. 5. Fill the Pump with new SAE 30W, non‑detergent, Air Compressor Oil to the FULL level on the Oil Sight Glass (24 oz.). 2. Unthread the Breather to allow air flow into the Pump. Safety Check the oil periodically for clarity. Replace oil if it appears milky or if debris is present, or every 6 months, or 100 operation hours, whichever comes first.
Tank Inspection Safety 1. Follow local, state, and national air tank maintenance and inspection codes. 3. Yearly, the tank must be visually inspected by a qualified inspector. 2. The head and shell minimum allowable wall thicknesses for these inspections are both 0.094" each. 4. Every 10 years, the tank must be hydrostatically inspected by a qualified inspector.
Troubleshooting (cont.) Likely Solutions 1. Loose fittings. 1. Reduce air pressure, then check all fittings with a soap solution for air leaks and tighten as needed. Do not overtighten. 2. Compressor not large enough for job. 2. Check if accessory CFM is met by Compressor. If Compressor doesn’t reach accessory CFM, you need a larger Compressor. 1. Loose fittings. 1. Reduce air pressure, then check all fittings with a soap solution for air leaks and tighten as needed. Do not overtighten. 2.
