COMPRESSOR FEATURES:
1.AUTOMATIC ON/OFF PRESSURE SWITCH: This compressor is equipped with an automatic on/off pressure switch. The compressor will only run when the switch is in the ON/AUTO position. Once the tank has reached the desired pre- set pressure
Do not leave the compressor unattended while the power switch is in the on/auto position.
2.AIR TANK PRESSURE GAUGE: The tank pressure gauge provides a reading of the air pressure inside of the compressor tank.
3.OUTLET PRESSURE GAUGE: The outlet pressure gauge provides a reading of the air pressure at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the pressure regulator and is always less than or equal to the air tank pressure.
4.AIR COUPLER: The air coupler is preinstalled into standard 1/4" NPT (F) threads in the pressure manifold. Use PTFE
5.PRESSURE REGULATOR: The regulator allows you to select the amount of air pressure that is output through the air hose into tools and accessories. Turn the pressure regulator knob clockwise to increase discharge pressure, and counter clockwise to decrease discharge pressure. Please refer to the air delivery requirements of your tools for the proper pressure settings.
NOTICE: Be careful not to overtighten pressure regulator knob when it “bottoms out” as this may damage pressure regulator.
6.SAFETY RELIEF VALVE: This compressor is equipped with a safety relief valve that is designed to prevent system failures by relieving pressure from the system when the air pressure reaches a predetermined level. The safety relief valve is preset by the manufacturer. DO NOT attempt to modify or remove the safety relief valve.
7.AIR TANK DRAIN VALVE: Moisture is produced whenever air is compressed. It is critical to drain water from the air tank on this compressor frequently. If unit is used only occasionally, tank should be drained after each use and prior to the next use. To drain the tank, slowly open the tank drain fitting by turning counter clockwise. Once all moisture has drained out, close the fitting securely. NOTE:
Air tank will not pressurize while drain valve is open.
A dirty air filter will reduce air compressor performance and can lead to product failure.
8.MANUAL THERMAL OVERLOAD SWITCH: The electric motor has a manual thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the thermal overload protector will shut off the motor. Turn pressure switch to the “off” position and wait for unit to cool before pushing the reset button and restarting the compressor. NOTICE: This air compressor is designed for household use only and is not intended to operate
9.AIR INTAKE FILTER: This compressor is equipped with an externally accessible air intake filter that is designed to clean air coming into the pump. The filter element is easily removed for periodic cleaning. Use compressed air to blow loose dirt and debris from the paper filter element and reinstall. Replace filter element when necessary.
10.CARRY HANDLE: Convenient handle for easy transport.
OPERATING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
INITIAL SETUP / BREAK-IN PROCEDURE:
Do not attach air hose, air tools or other air accessories to the air outlet until
1.Read and understand the entire instruction manual, including all safety warn- ings before setting up air compressor.
2.Place air compressor on a flat, level surface.
3.Turn the pressure regulator knob fully clockwise to open airflow from air outlet port.
Be careful not to overtighten pressure regulator knob when it “bottoms out” as this may damage pressure regulator.
4.Turn the power switch to the OFF position.
5.Plug power cord directly into a properly grounded power source of the correct voltage (see Grounding Instructions on page 5 of this instruction manual).
6.Open the tank drain valve to allow air to escape preventing air pressure buildup in the air tank.
7.Turn the compressor ON by moving the switch to the AUTO/ON position and run the air compressor for a period of 20 minutes to
