GLOSSARY CFM: Cubic feet per minute. SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery. PSlG: 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. ON/AUTO - OFF Switch (A) Fig.
INSTALLATION Installing 1. 2. Handles, Wheel, and Rubber Foot (Fig. 2) I_ THE WHEELS AND HANDLE DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE CLEARANCE, STABILITY OR SUPPORT FOR PULLING THE UNIT UP AND DOWN STAIRS OR STEPS. THE UNIT MUST BE LIFTED, OR PUSHED UP A RAMR Submerge handle grip (A) into warm soapy water to make installation easier. Remove handle grip (A) from soapy water and slide onto handle (B). Position legs of handle (B) inside compressor saddle. Align holes in handle legs with holes in saddle.
Location of the Air Compressor Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area. The air filter must be kept clear of obstructions which could reduce air flow to the air compressor. The air compressor should be located at least 12" away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air. The air compressor head and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling.
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 propedy 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. Unscrew the check valve using a socket wrench. 6. 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. 7. Apply sealant to the check valve threads. Reinstall the check valve. 8. Replace the pressure release tube and fitting. 9. Replace the outlet tube and tighten top and bottom nuts. 10. Replace the shroud. Motor The motor has an automatic reset thermal overload protector.
TROUBLESHOOTING I SOURCES, PERSONAL REPAIRS, GUIDE PERFORMING REPAIRS MAY EXPOSE VOLTAGE MOVING PARTS OR COMPRESSED AIR SOURCES. INJURY MAY OCCUR. PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING ANY 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.
PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION Motor will not run or restart. Motor overload protection switch has tripped. Let motor cool off and overload switch will automatically reset. Tank pressure exceeds lressure switch "cut-in" Motor will start automatically when tank pressure drops below "cut-in" pressure of pressure switch. )ressure, Wrong gauge wire or length of extension cord. Check for proper gauge wire and cord length. Check valve stuck open. Remove and clean, or replace. Loose electrical connections.
PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION Air leak from safety valve. Possibledefectin safetyvalve, Operate safety valve manually by Knocking Noise. Malfunctioning Compressoris 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. If it is higher than the SCFM or pressure supplied by your a_rcompressor, you need a larger pulling on ring.
ACCESSORIES Accessories can be found at the store from which the unit was purchased or at a local hardware store.
