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 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.
HAZARD RISK OF BURSTING AIR TANK: THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS COULD LEAD TO A WEAKENING OF THE TANK, AND RESULT IN A VIOLENT TANK EXPLOSION AND COULD CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE OR SERIOUS INJURY. WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT 1. FAILURE TO PROPERLY DRAIN CONDENSED WATER FROM THE TANK, CAUSING RUST AND THINNING OF THE STEEL TANK. 2. MODIFICATIONS OR ATTEMPTED REPAIRS TO THE TANK. 3. UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS TO THE UNLOADER VALVE, SAFETY VALVE, OR ANY OTHER COMPONENTS WHICH CONTROL TANK PRESSURE. 4.
HAZARD RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT NEVER OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR OUTDOORS WHEN IT IS RAINING OR IN WET CONDITIONS. YOUR AIR COMPRESSOR IS POWERED BY ELECTRICITY. LIKE ANY OTHER ELECTRICALLY POWERED DEVICE, IF IT IS NOT USED PROPERLY IT MAY CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK. NEVER OPERATE COMPRESSOR WITH PROTECTIVE COVERS REMOVED OR DAMAGED.
HAZARD RISK OF BURNS WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT TOUCHING EXPOSED METAL SUCH AS THE COMPRESSOR HEAD OR OUTLET TUBES, CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS BURNS. NEVER TOUCH ANY EXPOSED METAL PARTS ON COMPRESSOR DURING OR IMMEDIATELY AFTER OPERATION. COMPRESSOR WILL REMAIN HOT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER OPERATION. DO NOT REACH AROUND PROTECTIVE SHROUDS OR ATTEMPT MAINTENANCE UNTIL UNIT HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO COOL.
HAZARD RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT UNSAFE OPERATION OF YOUR AIR COMPRESSOR COULD LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH TO YOU OR OTHERS. REVIEW AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS IN THIS MANUAL. BECOME FAMILIAR WITH THE OPERATION AND CONTROLS OF THE AIR COMPRESSOR. KEEP OPERATING AREA CLEAR OF ALL PERSONS, PETS, AND OBSTACLES. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE AIR COMPRESSOR AT ALL TIMES. DO NOT OPERATE THE PRODUCT WHEN FATIGUED OR UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALCOHOL OR DRUGS.
GLOSSARY SCFM or CFM: Standard Cubic Feet per Minute; a unit of measurement of air delivery. PSIG or PSI: Pounds per square inch gauge. CUT-IN PRESSURE: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you continue to use your accessory or air tool. When the tank pressure drops to a certain low level the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor automatically restarts is called “cut-in pressure.
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 should be located at least 12" away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air. 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.
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. Attach extra air hoses at the air outlet instead of using extension cords. If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is: • a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product • in good condition • no longer than 50 feet • 12 gauge (AWG) or larger.
DESCRIPTION OF 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. Outlet Pressure Gauge On/Auto/Off Switch Pressure Switch Quick Connect Tank Pressure Gauge Regulator Safety Valve Description of Operation Become familiar with these controls before operating the unit.
Air Compressor Pump (not shown): Compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that required at the air outlet. Check Valve: When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is "open”, allowing compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches "cut-out” pressure, the check valve "closes”, allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank. Check Valve How to Use Your Unit How to Stop: 1.
Before Each Start-Up: 1. Place On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF" and close air regulator. 2. Pull regulator knob out, turn counterclockwise until it stops. Push knob in to lock in place. 3. Attach hose and accessories. NOTE: The hose or accessory will require a quick connect plug if the air outlet is equipped with a quick connect socket. Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories.
MAINTENANCE Customer Responsibilities Before each use Check Safety Valve Daily or after each use ● ● Drain Tank Unit cycles automatically when power is on. When performing maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air, or moving parts. Personal injuries can occur. Before performing any maintenance or repair, disconnect power source from the compressor and bleed off all air pressure. NOTE: See "Operation" section for the location of controls.
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS Unit cycles automatically when power is on. When doing Maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air or moving parts. Personal injuries can occur. Before performing any Maintenance or repair, unplug the compressor and bleed off all air pressure. ALL MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OPERATIONS NOT LISTED MUST BE PERFORMED BY A TRAINED SERVICE TECHNICIAN. Before servicing: Unplug or disconnect electrical supply to the air compressor.
To Replace Regulator 1. Release all air pressure from air tank. See "To Drain Tank" in the Maintenance section. 2. Unplug unit. 3. Using an adjustable wrench remove the outlet pressure gauge and quick connect from the regulator. Outlet Pressure Gauge Quick Connect Regulator 4. Remove the regulator. 5. Apply pipe sealant tape to the nipple on the standpipe. 6. Assemble the regulator and orient as shown. Nipple Regulator NOTE: Arrow indicates flow of air.
STORAGE Before you store the air compressor, make sure you do the following: 1. Review the "Maintenance" section on the preceding pages and perform scheduled maintenance as necessary. 2. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to “OFF”. 3. Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the outlet pressure to zero. 4. Remove the air tool or accessory. 5. Pull ring on safety valve allowing air to bleed from the tank until tank pressure is approximately 20 psi. Release safety valve ring. 6.
