Operating Instructions
wire to either flat blade terminal. The
wire with insulation having an outer
surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
Do not use grounding adapter .
Check with a qualified electrician
or serviceman when the grounding
instructions are not completely
understood, or when in doubt as
to whether the product is properly
grounded . Do not modify the plug
provided; if it does not fit the outlet,
have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician .
This product is for use on a nominal
120-V circuit and has a grounding plug
similar to the plug illustrated in Figure
6 . Only connect the product to an outlet
having the same configuration as the
plug . Do not use an adapter with this
product .
When converting
to an alternate
voltage, be sure the green ground wire
of the cord connects to the ground pin
of the plug and to the metal body of
the pressure switch.

Operation

START-UP
This compressor
pump must be filled
with oil before startup. See lubrication
section.
Do not attach air
tools to open end of
the hose until start-up is completed and
the unit checks OK.
Never disconnect
threaded joints with
pressure in tank!
1 . Check for proper oil level . See
Lubrication Section .
2 . Open tank drain valve .
3 . Turn pressure switch lever or knob
to OFF position and plug in power
cord .
4 . Turn pressure switch lever or knob to
AUTO position and run unit for 30
minutes to break in the pump parts
(See Figure 8) .
5 . Turn regulator knob fully
counterclockwise . Compressor will
build to maximum preset pressure
and shut off .
Knob
Auto/Off
Figure 8
6 . Turn regulator knob clockwise to
cause air to bleed off . Compressor
will restart at preset pressure .
7 . Turn pressure switch lever or knob to
OFF position and unplug powercord .
Slowly turn regulator knob clockwise
to allow all air pressure to be
released . Do not proceed to the next
step until the tank pressure reaches
zero (0) .
8 . Attach hose, then add chuck or
other tool to open end of hose . Plug
in powercord . Turn pressure switch
lever to AUTO position . When full
pressure is reached turn regulator
knob clockwise until desired outlet
pressure is achieved .
9 . After use, turn pressure switch lever
or knob to the OFF position .

MOISTURe In COMPReSSeD AIR

Moisture in compressed air will form
into droplets as it comes from an air
compressor pump . When humidity
is high or when a compressor is in
continuous use for an extended
period of time, this moisture will
collect in the tank . When using a
paint spray or sandblast gun, this
water will be carried from the tank
through the hose, and out of the
gun as droplets mixed with the spray
material .
IMPORTAnT: This condensation will
cause water spots in a paint job,
especially when spraying other than
water based paints . If sandblasting, it
will cause the sand to cake and clog
the gun, rendering it ineffective .
A filter in the air line, located as
near to the gun as possible, will help
eliminate this moisture .
5
10 . If compressor is not used for a long
time period, bleed air from line
and use drain valve to drain water
from the tank . Then, follow the
maintenance schedule .
nOTe: Electric models are equipped
Lever - Off
with a pressure switch that
automatically turns the motor OFF when
the tank pressure reaches a preset level .
After air is used from the tank and
drops to a preset low level, the pressure
switch automatically turns the motor
Lever - Auto
back on .

Maintenance

Disconnect, tag and lock out
power source, then release
all pressure from the system
before attempting to install, service,
relocate or perform any maintenance.
All repairs should be performed by an
authorized service representative .
FOR eFFICIenT OPeRATIOn:
Perform the following test to verify free
operation of the safety valve weekly
and follow maintenance schedule .
1 . Pull ring on safety valve and allow
the ring to snap back to normal
position (see Figure 9) . This valve
automatically releases air if the
tank pressure exceeds the preset
maximum .
Figure 9
valve. This valve should be checked
occasionally. If air leaks after the ring
has been released, or the valve is stuck
and cannot be actuated by the ring, the
safety valve must be replaced.
be released if this valve is actuated with
pressure in the tank.
2 . With motor OFF and unplugged,
clean debris from motor, flywheel,
tank, air lines and pump cooling fins .
