Operating Instructions
General Safety
Information
(Continued)
Never operate compressor
without a beltguard. This
unit can start automatically
without warning. Personal injury or
property damage could occur from con-
tact with moving parts.
9. Do not wear loose clothing or jewel-
ry that will get caught in the mov-
ing parts of the unit.
Compressor parts may be
hot even if the unit is
stopped.
10. Keep fingers away from a running
compressor; fast moving and hot
parts will cause injury and/or burns.
11. If the equipment should start to
vibrate abnormally, STOP the
engine/motor and check immediate-
ly for the cause. Vibration is gener-
ally a warning of trouble.
12. To reduce fire hazard, keep
engine/motor exterior free of oil,
solvent, or excessive grease.
An ASME code
safety relief valve
with a setting no higher than 150 psi
MUST be installed in the tank for this
compressor. The ASME safety valve
must have sufficient flow and pressure
ratings to protect the pressurized com-
ponents from bursting. The flow rating
can be found in the parts manual. The
maximum pressure rating for the pump
is 150 psi.
Maximum
operating pressure
is 135 psi. Do not operate with pressure
switch or pilot valves set higher than
135 psi.
13. Never attempt to adjust ASME safe-
ty valve. Keep safety valve free from
paint and other accumulations.
Never attempt to repair or
modify a tank! Welding,
drilling or any other modifi-
cation will weaken the tank resulting in
damage from rupture or explosion.
Always replace worn, cracked or dam-
aged tanks.
Drain liquid from

tank daily.
14. Tanks rust from moisture build-up,
which weakens the tank. Make sure
to drain tank regularly and inspect
periodically for unsafe conditions
such as rust formation and corrosion.
15. Fast moving air will stir up dust and
debris which may be harmful. Release
air slowly when draining moisture or
depressurizing the compressor system.
SPRAYING PRECAUTIONS
Do not spray flammable
materials in vicinity of open
flame or near ignition
sources including the compressor unit.
16. Do not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
17. Use a face mask/respira-
tor when spraying and
spray in a well ventilated
area to prevent health
and fire hazards.
18. Do not direct paint or other sprayed
material at the compressor. Locate
compressor as far away from the
spraying area as possible to mini-
mize overspray accumulation on the
compressor.
19. When spraying or cleaning with sol-
vents or toxic chemicals, follow the
instructions provided by the chemi-
cal manufacturer.
Installation
Disconnect, tag and lock out
power source then release
all pressure from the system
before attempting to install, service,
relocate or perform any maintenance.
Do not lift or move
unit without
appropriately rated equipment. Be sure
the unit is securely attached to lifting
device used. Do not lift unit by holding
onto tubes. Do not use unit to lift other
attached equipment.

Cast Iron Series
Never use the
wood shipping
skids for mounting the compressor.
Install and operate unit at least 24"
from any obstructions in a clean, well
ventilated area. The surrounding air
temperature should not exceed 100
This will ensure an unobstructed flow
of air to cool compressor and allow
adequate space for maintenance.
Do not locate the
compressor air inlet
near steam, paint spray, sandblast areas
or any other source of contamination.
NOTE: If compressor operates in a hot,
moist environment, supply compressor
pump with clean, dry outside air.
Supply air should be piped in from
external sources.
TANK MOUNTING
The tank should be bolted into a flat,
even, concrete floor or on a separate
concrete foundation. Vibration isola-
tors should be used between the tank
leg and the floor. Isolator pads
(A4000150AJ) are recommended. When
using isolator pads, do not draw bolts
tight. Allow the pads to absorb vibra-
tions. When isolators are used, a flexi-
ble hose or coupling should be installed
between the tank and service piping.
Failure to properly install
the tank can lead to cracks at
the welded joints and possi-
ble bursting.
PIPING
Never use plastic
(PVC) pipe for com-
pressed air. Serious injury or death
could result.
Any tube, pipe or hose connected to the
unit must be able to withstand the tem-
perature generated and retain the pres-
sure. All pressurized components of the
air system must have a pressure rating
higher than or equal to the 150 psi
ASME safety valve setting. Incorrect
selection and installation of any tube,
pipe or hose could result in bursting and
injury.
