Operating Instructions and Parts List
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 fi lter in the air line, located as near to
the gun as possible, will help eliminate
this moisture.
on and off automatically.
In the OFF position, the pressure
switch cannot function and the
compressor will not operate. Make
sure switch is in OFF position when
connecting or disconnecting power
cord from electrical outlet.
PRESSURE GAUGES
Gauge attached to regulator indicates
air pressure going to hose (and any
tool attached to end of hose).
Gauge attached to pressure switch
indicates air pressure in tank.
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.
Check compressor often for any visible
problems and follow maintenance
procedures each time compressor is
used.
Safety valve must
be replaced if it
cannot be actuated or it leaks air after
ring is released.
1. Turn compressor off and release
pressure from system. (To release
pressure from system, pull ring
on ASME safety valve. Deflect
escaping air by shielding valve with
one hand as you pull ring with
other hand.) Pull ring until tank is
empty.
A large amount of
fast moving air will
be released when the safety valve is
opened with pressure in the
tank. Wear ANSI approved
Z87.1 safety glasses.
2. Drain moisture from
tank by opening drain
valve underneath tank. Tilt tank to
remove all moisture.
3. Clean dust and dirt from tank,
air lines and pump cover while
compressor is still OFF.
ASME SAFETY VALVE
Do not remove or
attempt to adjust
the safety valve!
Check the safety valve by performing
the following steps:
1. Plug the compressor in and run
until shut off pressure is reached.
2. Wearing safety glasses, pull the
ring on the safety valve to release
pressure from compressor tank.
Use your other hand to defl ect
fast-moving air from being
directed toward your face.
3. The safety valve should
automatically close at
approximately 40 psi - 50 psi. If
the safety valve does not allow
air to be released when you pull
on the ring, or if it does not close
automatically, it MUST be replaced.

DRAIN TANK
With compressor shut off and pressure
released, drain moisture from tank by
opening drain valve underneath tank.
LUBRICATION.
This is an oilless type compressor
requiring no lubrication.

CLEANING
Turn power OFF and clean dust and
dirt from pump cover, tank, and air
lines.
OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
a thermal overload protector which
will shut off motor if it becomes
overloaded.
If overload protector shuts motor OFF
frequently, look for the following
causes.
1. Low voltage.
2. Lack of proper ventilation.
actuated, the motor must be allowed
to cool down for 30 minutes before
manual resetting.
END OF OPERATION/STORAGE
1. Turn ON / OFF switch to the OFF
position.
2. Unplug power cord from wall
outlet and wrap around handle
area to prevent damage when not
in use.
3. Wearing safety glasses drain tank
of air by pulling the ring on the
safety valve. Use other hand to
defl ect fast moving air from being
directed toward your face.
4. Drain tank of condensation by
opening drain valve on bottom
of tank. Tank pressure should be
below 10 psi when draining tank.
5. Air hose should be disconnected
from compressor and hung open
ends down to allow any moisture
to drain.
6. Compressor and hose should be
stored in a cool, dry place.
