IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d) SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS IMPROPER OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE OF THIS PRODUCT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT. HAZARD RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT IT IS NORMAL FOR ELECTRICAL CONTACTS WITHIN THE MOTOR AND PRESSURE SWITCH TO SPARK.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d) 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d) 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 COME 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.
GLOSSARY CFM: Cubic feet per minute. SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery. PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of pressure. ASME: American Society of Mechanical Engineers; made, tested, inspected, and registered to meet the standards of ASME. California Code: Unit may comply with California Code 462 (l) (2)/(M) (2). Specification/model label is on the side of the tank on units that comply with California Code.
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION Drain Valve (not shown): The drain valve is located at the base of the air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of each use. Motor Thermal Overload Protector (not shown): The electric motor has an automatic thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the thermal overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool before restarting. B D automatic ON/AUTO - OFF Switch (A) Fig.
INSTALLATION Installing Rubber Foot Bumpers (Fig. 2) 1. Using a 3/8 inch wrench, remove the screws attaching the unit to the shipping pallet. NOTE: These screws will be used to install the rubber foot bumpers. 2. Attach the four rubber foot bumpers (B) to the units legs (A) using the four screws (C) removed in step 1. A B C Fig. 2 Location of the Air Compressor Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS 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. If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electrician. The air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug.
BREAK-IN PROCEDURES 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. (before the hose is installed), the check valve is replaced, or a complete compressor pump is replaced. The procedure: 1. Make sure the pressure switch lever is in the "OFF" position. 2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. 3.
MAINTENANCE Unit cycles automatically when power is on. During maintenance, you could be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air, moving parts, or hot surfaces. Personal injuries can occur. Unplug the unit and bleed off all air tank pressure and allow unit to cool before doing any maintenance or repair. Never operate the unit with the belt guard removed. To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air compressor unit, a routine maintenance schedule should be prepared and followed.
5. Check that the valve disc moves freely inside the check valve and that the spring holds the disc in the upper, closed position. The check valve may be cleaned with a strong solvent. 6. Apply sealant to the check valve threads. Reinstall the check valve. 7. Replace the pressure release tube and fitting. 8. Replace the outlet tube and tighten top and bottom nuts. Motor The motor has an automatic reset thermal overload protector.
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 AIR COMPRESSOR AND BLEED OFF ALL AIR TANK AIR PRESSURE. PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION Excessive tank pressure - safety valve pops off. Pressure switch does not shut off motor when compressor reaches “cut-out” pressure. Move the pressure switch lever to the “OFF” position.
PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION Pressure reading on the regulated pressure gauge drops when an accessory is used. It is normal for “some” pressure drop to occur. If there is an excessive amount of pressure drop when the accessory is used, adjust the regulator following the instructions on page 7. NOTE: Adjust the regulated pressure under flow conditions (while accessory is being used). Motor will not run or restart. Motor overload protection switch has tripped.
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. Compressor is not large enough for air requirement. Decrease amount of air usage. Check the accessory air requirement.
ACCESSORIES Accessories can be found at the store the unit was purchased or at a local hardware store. FILTERS, REGULATORS, LUBRICATORS FILTER / REGULATOR REGULATOR LUBRICATOR OR INLINE OILER Controls air pressure downstream and /or in secondary feeder lines. Regulates air pressure and removes moisture, oil and other debris from the air line. Protects tools from rust and is essential when spray painting. Locate as close to the tool as possible. Administers oil into the air line.
