GENERAL INFORMATION

You have purchased an air compressor unit consisting of an aluminum 2 cylinder, single-stage air compressor pump (with cast iron sleeves), an air tank, wheels, handle, associated controls and instruments.

Your air compressor can be used for operating paint spray guns, air tools, caulking guns, grease guns, air brushes, sandblasters, inflating tires and plastic toys, spraying weed killers, insecticides, etc. An air pres- sure regulator is required for most of these applica- tions.

An air line filter is usually required for removal of moisture and oil vapor in compressed air when a paint spray gun is used.

An in-line lubricator is usually required for air tools to prolong tool life.

Separate air transformers which combine the functions of air regulation and/or moisture and dirt removal should be used where applicable.

GLOSSARY

CFM: Cubic Feet per Minute.

SCFM: Standard Cubic Feet per Minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.

PSI: Pounds per Square Inch; a unit of measure of pressure.

ASME: American Society of Mechanical Engineers; made, tested, inspected and registered to meet the standards of the ASME.

Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you continue to use your accessory. When the tank pressure drops to a certain low level and the pressure switch lever is in "Auto", the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor automatically restarts is called “cut-in pressure.”

Cut-Out Pressure: When you turn on your air com- pressor and it begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before the motor automatically shuts off - protecting your air tank from pressure higher than its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called “cut-out pressure.”

CSA: Electrical products sold in Canada are required to be certified to the applicable CSA standard (s). Canadian Standards Association (CSA) is a standards writing and safety testing organization. Products that are CSA certified have been evaluated and tested and found to meet or exceed the applicable CSA standard

(s) for safety and electrical performance.
