Description of Operation

Air Compressor Pump: To compress air, the piston moves up and down in the cylinder. On the downstroke, air is drawn in through the air intake muffler (valves). The exhaust valve remains closed. On the upstroke of the piston, air is compressed. The intake valves close and compressed air is forced out through the exhaust valve and then through the air hose.

Adjustable Pressure Valve: The pressure valve controls the amount of pressure going from the air compressor to the accessory. The pressure adjusting valve can be used to set approximate pressure between 10 and 125 P.S.I. (125 P.S.I. is the highest pressure this compressor will deliver). It is normal for the adjustable pressure valve to release air during operation.

ALWAYS SET THE PRESSURE VALVE AT OR BELOW THE REQUIRED PRESSURE FOR THE ACCESSORY BEING USED BEFORE START- ING YOUR COMPRESSOR. FOR INFLATION OR OTHER USES REQUIRING ACCURATE PRESSURE, USE A PRESSURE GAUGE.

Accumulator Tank: Your accumulator tank is equipped with a relief (pop-off) valve to prevent an over pressure condition in the tank. This 2 gallon tank is not designed to store air, but rather to provide the additional volume of compressed air necessary to operate a wide variety of air tools. When starting your compressor, attach the tool to the hose, set the pressure adjusting valve at the required pressure, wait a few moments until the tank fills with air. You will know the tank is filled when you hear air bleeding through the pressure adjusting valve. Depending on the type and size of tool being used, you will occasionally need to wait for the tank to refill before continuing. When you are finsihed or changing tools, turn the compressor switch off and set the pressure adjusting valve to 10 PSI and wait for the tank to discharge completely.

INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES

Location of the Air Compressor

Your compressor comes to you completely assembled and ready for use. Operate the air compressor in a dry, clean, cool and well ventilated area. The air compressor pump and case are designed to allow for proper cooling. Clean or blow off dust or dirt that collects on the air compressor. A clean air compressor runs cooler and provides longer service. The ventilation openings on your air compressor are necessary to maintain proper operat- ing temperature. Do not place rags or other containers on or near these openings.

Extension Cords

Use extra air hose instead of an extension cord to avoid voltage drop and power loss to the motor.

If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:

•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

•in good condition

•no longer than 50 feet

•14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number decreases.) 12 AWG, 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 16 OR 18 AWG.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

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 air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be used with an outlet that has been installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. The outlet must have the same configuration as the plug. See illustration. DO NOT

USE AN ADAPTER.

Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are signs of damage.

IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELEC- TRICAL SHOCK.
