Owners manual

14. Before connecting to power source, check to make sure that all connections are made
properly.
15. Connect and test compressor system by running the compressor for a short time to
build up pressure in your air tank.
16. Once air pressure reaches the preset cut out pressure of your pressure switch, the
compressor will shut off. Inspect all air line connections for leaks with soap and
water solution. If a leak is detected, the air line may not be cut squarely or pushed all
the way in. Tighten connections if needed.
17. Always use a “switched” power source that only supplies power to your compressor
when the vehicle is running.
COMPRESSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: The compressor has a maximum working pressure of 150 PSI and is
capable of 100% duty cycle. It is designed for use with air horns, air bags and other
accessories that utilize the compressed air stored in the tank. It is not designed for
continuous use applications such as tire inflation or air tools. Always operate the
compressor at or below the MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING of the compressor (150
PSI). Operation exceeding maximum pressure ratings and or duty cycle will result in
damage to air compressor.
1. Your air compressor is equipped with an AUTOMATIC THERMAL OVERLOAD
PROTECTOR. This feature is designed to protect the air compressor from
overheating and causing permanent damage to your air compressor. The thermal
overload protector will automatically cut off power to your air compressor should the
internal operating temperature of the air compressor rise above safe levels during
excessive use.
2. Should your air compressor automatically shut off while in use; do not attempt to
restart the air compressor. Turn power switch to the air compressor to the OFF
position. The automatic thermal overload protector will automatically reset when
internal temperature of the air compressor drops below safe level. After allowing air
compressor to cool off for about 30 minutes, you can safely resume use of the air
compressor by turning on the air compressor.
3. To prevent discharge of your vehicle’s battery and to provide peak performance, we
strongly recommend that you keep the vehicle’s engine running while using the air
compressor.
4. ONLY OPERATE THE AIR COMPRESSOR IN WELL-VENTILATED AREAS.
Compressor Maintenance & Repairs
1. Periodically check all electrical and fitting connections. Clean / tighten as needed.
2. Periodically check all mounting hardware. Tighten as needed.
3. Replace air filter element periodically. Replacement frequency depends on operating
frequency and operating environment. For frequent use in dusty environment, you
should replace air filter element more frequently.
4. Regularly clean dust and dirt from compressor.
5. Your air compressor is equipped with permanently lubricated, maintenance free
motor. Never lubricate the compressor.
