! CAUTION indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which if not avoided, MAY result in minor or moderate injury. NOTICE indicates important information, which if not followed, may cause damage to equipment. NOTICE: ! CAUTION: ! WARNING: ! DANGER: Intended Use This compressor is designed to fill air tanks rated to 4500 or 3000psi depending on the model. For best performance it requires an 125 psi feed from a shop compressor (not supplied) to the nipple on top of the unit.

1: Find the fill nipple provided in the plastic bag and screw it into the threaded hole in the top of the compressor. There is Teflon sealing tape pre-installed on the fill nipple, do not remove. Use a wrench to fully tighten. 2: Remove the front cover after unplugging the power and all air lines by unscrewing the four bolts on the sides. 3: Take the vent knob shaft and screw it part way into the upper threaded hole just above the output nipple in the front.

the front until it hits the stop. Make sure all covers are secure and in place. Running Compressor Plug in the compressor to an electrical outlet supplying 110 volts AC and push the black switch all the way to the right to start compressor. The switch arm will spring back to center and is only designed for momentary contact to the right to start the compressor. This is much like a car ignition switch. The switch arm is on a spring and will feel compliant to the touch. The compressor will start running.

Lubrication Follow the warnings in this manual and on the compressor and unplug all air lines and power from the unit before removing front cover. The four screws on the sides hold the cover in place. NEVER PUT OIL IN THE AIRLINES OF THE COMPRESSOR or an explosion could result!! Your Shoebox is equipped with wicking felt oiler strips. A felt strip is pinched in the black nuts at the ends of each cylinder. USE ONLY SILICONE OIL that is supplied with your unit to saturate the felt strips.

Belt Tension Adjustment The F10 comes with a quiet cog belt drive. Loosen the motor bolt screws and slide the motor to tension the belt. The belt should be tight enough to ‘twang’. More tension is better than not enough. Shut Off Pressure Adjustment The electronic pressure switch in the F10 has an adjustable shut off between 1000- 4500 psi. To adjust the shut off, use a 5/64ths Allen wrench in the back of the switch as shown below. To increase the shutoff pressure; turn the Allen wrench clockwise.

Burst Disk Overload Protection The ShoeBox Compressor is equipped with a burst disk that can be found behind the main air block. If the compressor sees pressures greater than approximately 7500psi, the copper seal in this device will blow out and vent the system. This burst disk is industry standard and must be replaced after a venting incident. Use the same pressure rated burst disk for replacement. Replacements are available from our webstore: ShoeBoxCompressor.

used for the lower piston. The nut no longer contributes to the sealing so do not over tighten. Water Traps and Filters There is no filter or water trap supplied with this compressor. Most of the water condenses out in the shop compressor tank. You can also filter the incoming 125 psi line. See your shop compressor dealer for these accessories. There are additional links to useful water traps and other accessories on the website at Shoeboxcompressor.

Rebuild Cylinders After about 70 to 100 hours of run time the o-rings will likely need replacing. We provide a spare set of o-rings with the unit and maintenance kits with o-rings are available on our store. The compressor is made to be user serviceable. Removing the snap rings and air lines from the cylinders allows them to slide out. Once the nut holding the spacers and o-rings is removed, the o-rings are replaced and the unit is reassembled. The F10 ShoeBox can be rebuilt many, many times.
