ASSEMBLY
UNPACKING
Remove unit from carton and discard all packaging.
INSTALLATION
HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT
Location of the Air Compressor
•Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area.
•The air compressor should be located at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air.
•The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling. The ventilation openings on the compressor are necessary to maintain proper operating temperature. Do not place rags or other containers on or near these openings.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS (FIG. 1)
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 portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appro- priate grounding plug (A).
1.The cord set and plug (A) with this unit contains a grounding pin (B). This plug MUST be used with a grounded outlet (C).
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must be installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
2.Make sure the outlet being used has the same configuration as the grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER. See figure 1.
3.Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are signs of damage.
4.If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electrician.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, a correct outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician.
Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
•a
•in good condition
•no longer than 50' (15.2 m)
•14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number decreases. 12 AWG and 10 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 16 OR 18 AWG.)
Risk of Property Damage. The use of an undersized extension cord will cause voltage to drop resulting in power loss to the motor and overheating. Instead of using an extension cord, increase the working reach of the air hose by attaching another length of hose to its end. Attach additional lengths of hose as needed.
VOLTAGE AND CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Refer to the Specification Chart for the voltage and minimum branch circuit requirements.
Risk of Overheating. Certain air compressors can be operated on a 15 amp circuit if the following conditions are met.
1.Voltage supply to circuit must comply with the National Electrical Code.
2.Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs.
3.Extension cords comply with specifications.
4.Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp time delay fuse.
NOTE: If compressor is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use only time delay fuses. Time delay fuses should be marked "D" in Canada and "T" in the US.
If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the compressor repeatedly causes interruption of the power, it may be necessary to operate it from a 20 amp circuit. It
is not necessary to change the cord set.
OPERATION
KNOW YOUR AIR COMPRESSOR
READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustrations with your unit to familiarize yourself with the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future reference.
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION (FIG. 2–3)
Become familiar with these controls before operating the unit.
On(I)/Off(O) Switch (D): Place this switch in the On (I) position to provide automatic power to the pressure switch and Off (O) to remove power at the end of each use.
Pressure Switch (not shown): The pressure switch automatically starts the motor when the air tank pressure drops below the factory set
Safety Valve (H): If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its "cut- out" pressure setting, the safety valve will protect against high pressure by "popping out" at its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch
Tank Pressure Gauge (I): The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank.
Outlet Pressure Gauge (E): The outlet pressure gauge indicates the air pressure available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the regulator and is always less than or equal to the tank pressure.
Regulator (G): Controls the air pressure shown on the outlet pressure gauge. Turn regu- lator knob clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
Cooling System (not shown): This compressor contains an advanced design cooling system. At the heart of this cooling system is an engineered fan. It is perfectly normal for this fan to blow air through the vent holes in large amounts. You know that the cooling system is working when air is being expelled.
Air Compressor Pump (not shown): Compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that required at the air outlet.
Drain Valve (J): The drain valve is located at the base of the air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of each use.
Check Valve (not shown): When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is "open", allowing compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches
Motor Overload Protector (not shown): The motor has a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting. To restart:
1.Set the On/Off lever to "Off" and unplug unit.
2.Allow the motor to cool.
3.Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
4.Set the Auto/Off lever to "On" position.
HOW TO USE YOUR UNIT (FIG. 2)
How to Stop
1.Set the On/Off switch (D) to "Off".
2.Unplug unit when not in use.
Before Starting
Do not operate this unit until you read this instruction manual for safety, operation and maintenance instructions.
Before Each Start-Up
1.Set the On/Off switch (D) to "Off".
2.Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. (Refer to Voltage and Circuit Protection paragraph in the Installation section of this manual.)
3.Turn the regulator knob (G) counterclockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero.
4.Turn regulator knob (G) counterclockwise until fully closed. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
5.Attach hose and accessories.
6.Ensure all covers and labels are in place, legible (for labels) and securely mounted. Do not use compressor until all items have been verified.
Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose in hand when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
Risk of unsafe operation. Do not use damaged or worn accessories.
NOTE: The hose or accessory will require a quick connect plug if the air outlet is equipped with a quick connect body (F).
Risk of Bursting. Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools and acces- sories. The regulator outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.
Risk of property damage. Compressed air from the unit may contain water condensation and oil mist. Do not spray unfiltered air at an item that could be damaged by moisture. Some air tools and accessories may require filtered air. Read the instructions for the air tools and accessories.
How to Start
1.Set the On/Off switch (D) to "On" and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank pressure reaches
2.Turn regulator knob (G) clockwise to increase pressure and stop when desired pressure is reached.

Risk of Bursting. If the safety valve does not work properly, over- pressurization may occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion.
Risk from Flying Objects. Always wear certified safety equipment:
ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) with side shields.
Before starting compressor, pull the ring on the safety valve (H) to make sure that the safety valve operates freely. If the valve is stuck or does not operate smoothly, it must be replaced with the same type of valve.
TO DRAIN TANK (FIG. 2, 3)
Risk of Unsafe Operation. Air tanks contain high pressure air. Keep face and other body parts away from outlet of drain. Use ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) when draining as debris can be kicked up into face.
Risk from noise. Always wear proper hearing protection during use. Under some conditions and duration of use, noise from this product may contribute to hearing loss.
NOTE: All compressed air systems generate condensate that accumulates in any drain point (e.g., tanks, filter, aftercoolers, dryers). This condensate contains lubricating oil and/or substances which may be regulated and must be disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
Risk of Bursting. Water will condense in the air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.
Risk of Property Damage. Drain water from air tank may contain oil and rust which can cause stains.
1.Set the On/Off switch (D) to "Off".
2.Turn the regulator knob (G) counterclockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero.
3.Remove the air tool or accessory.
4.Place a suitable container under the drain valve to catch discharge.
5.Pull ring on safety valve (H) allowing air to bleed from the tank until tank pressure is approximately 20 psi. Release safety valve ring.
6.Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve (J) on bottom of tank. Tilt tank to discharge all water held in tank.
7.After the water has been drained, close the drain valve. The air compressor can now be stored.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then be removed, cleaned, the reinstalled.
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
ALL MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OPERATIONS NOT LISTED MUST BE PERFORMED BY TRAINED SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
Risk of Unsafe Operation. Unit cycles automatically when power is on. When servicing, you may be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air, or moving parts.
