Operation

IMPORTANT: Unit should be located as far from spraying area as hose will allow to
prevent over-spray from clogging intake port�
Do not attach air chuck or other tool to open end of hose until
start-up has been completed and unit checks okay.
ASME SAFETY VALVE
Do not remove or attempt to adjust the safety valve!
This valve should be checked under pressure occasionally by pulling the ring by hand�
If air leaks after ring has been released, or valve is stuck and cannot be actuated by ring,
it MUST be replaced�
REGULATOR KNOB
1� This knob controls air pressure to an air operated tool, or paint spray gun�
2� Turning knob clockwise increases air pressure at outlet�
3� Turning counterclockwise will lower air pressure at outlet�
4� Fully counterclockwise will shut off flow of air completely�
OUTLET PRESSURE GAUGE
1� This gauge shows at-a-glance, air pressure at outlet� Air pressure is measured in
pounds per square inch (psi)�
2� Be sure this gauge reads ZERO before changing air tools or disconnecting hose from
outlet�
TANK PRESSURE GAUGE
Gauge shows pressure in tank indicating compressor is building pressure properly�

Maintenance

Failure to properly install the tank can lead to cracks
2�
Disconnect power source then release all pressure
from the system before attempting to install, service, relocate or perform
any maintenance.
The compressor should be checked often for any visible problems and the following
maintenance procedures should be performed each time the compressor is used�
1� Pull ring on safety val ve and allow it to snap back to normal position�
2� Safety valve must be replaced if it cannot be actuated or it leaks
air after ring is released.
2� With compressor shut off and pressure released: Drain moisture from tank by
opening drain valve underneath tank (See Figure 4)�
3� Turn power OFF and clean dust and dirt from motor, tank, and air lines�

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 sprayer,
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� A filter in the
air line, located as near to the gun
as possible, will help eliminate this
moisture�
