WARNING
RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE
CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY
OR DEATH!
Do not allow sparks from the
motor or pressure switch to come
in contact with flammable vapors,
combustible dust, gases or other
combustible materials.
When using the air compressor
for spray painting, place the air
compressor as far away from
the work area as possible, using
extra air hoses instead of exten-
sion cords.
DANGER
RISK OF ELECTROCUTION!
Improper connection of the
equipment-grounding conductor
can result in a risk of shock
or electrocution. Check with a
qualified electrician or service
personnel if you are in doubt as
to whether the outlet is properly
grounded. This product is factory
equipped with a specific electric
cord and plug based on the
units voltage and amperage
rating. This is for connection to
a proper electric circuit. Only
connect the product to an outlet
having the same configuration as
the plug. Do not use an adapter
with this product. If the product
must be reconnected for use on
a different type of electric circuit,
the reconnection shall be made
by qualified service personnel.
If repair or replacement of the
cord or plug is necessary, do
not connect the grounding 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.

SHOCK!
This product must be grounded.
If there should be a malfunction or
breakdown, grounding provides
a path of least resistance for
electric current to reduce the
risk of electric shock.
product is equipped with a cord
having an equipment grounding
conductor and a grounding type
plug. The plug must be inserted
into an appropriate outlet that is
properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.

INITIAL SET-UP:
1. Remove the air compressor from the carton.
2. Read safety warnings before setting-up air compressor.
3. Remove the oil travel plug in the crankcase cover and insert the oil dipstick.
Ensure the oil level in the air compressor pump is adequate. If low, add SAE
non-detergent oil as recommended below:
Ambient Temperature SAE Viscosity
0-32°F
32-80°F
60-103°F
LOCATION:
1. In order to avoid damaging an oil lubed air compressor, do not incline the air
compressor transversely or longitudinally more than 10°.
2. Place air compressor at least 12 inches away from obstacles that may pre
vent proper ventilation. Do not place air compressor in an area:
-where there is evidence of oil or gas leaks.
-where flammable gas vapors or materials may be present.
-where air temperatures fall below 32°F or exceed 104°F.
-where extremely dirty air or water could be drawn into the air compressor.
ELECTRICAL:
1. USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD IS NOT RECOMMENDED because it
could cause the compressor motor to overheat. It's recommended to use
additional air hose instead of an extension cord.
2. If use of an extension cord is unavoidable, if should be plugged into a GFCI
found in circuit boxes or protected receptacles. When using an extension cord,
observe the following:
Ampere
Rating
Range
120V
240V
8 - 10
10 -12
12 - 14
14 - 16
16 - 18
18 - 20
3. Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-
slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the compressor.
4. Examine power cord before using. Do not use the compressor if the cord is
This
damaged. Do not use a damaged extension cord.
5. Keep cords away from heat and sharp edges. Do not pull on a cord to
disconnect a plug -- grasp the plug.
6. Always shut off the compressor pressure switch before unplugging the
compressor.
