COOLING SYSTEM
This compressor contains an advanced design cooling system.
It is normal for this fan to blow air through the vent holes in large
amounts. The cooling system is working when air is expelled.
AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP
The pump 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.
AIR INTAKE FILTER
The filter (J) is designed to clean air entering the pump. To ensure
the pump continually receives a clean, cool, and dry air supply the
filter must always be clean and the filter intake must be free from
obstructions.
PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE
The pressure release valve located on the side of the pressure switch,
is designed to automatically release compressed air from the compres-
sor head and the outlet tube when the air compressor reaches cut-out
pressure or is shut off. The pressure release valve allows the motor to
restart freely. When the motor stops running, air will be heard escaping
from this valve for a few seconds. No air should be heard leaking when
the motor is running or after the unit reaches cut-out pressure.
MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
The motor has a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats
for any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The
motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting. To restart:
1. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to OFF and unplug unit.
2. Allow the motor to cool.
3. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
4. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to ON/AUTO position.
INSTALLATION
Assembly
INSTALLING HOSES
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI.
2. Grasp the hose at the quick connect plug and push the plug
into the quick connect body (E). Coupler will snap into place.
3. Grasp the hose and pull to ensure coupler is seated.
DISCONNECTING HOSES
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI.
2. Pull coupler on quick connect body back to release Quick
Connect plug on hose.
Grounding Instructions
WARNING: 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.
The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug.
1. The cord set and plug (M) with this unit
contains a grounding pin (L). This plug
MUST be used with a grounded
outlet (K).
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must
be installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
