Installation
LUBRICATION
This is an oilless product and DOES NOT
require lubrication to operate.
LOCATION
It is extremely important to use the
compressor in a clean, well ventilated
area where the surrounding air
temperature will not be more than
100°F.
A minimum clearance of 18 inches
between the compressor and a wall is
required because objects could obstruct
air flow.
Do not locate the
compressor air inlet
near steam, paint spray, sandblast areas
or any other source of contamination.
This debris will damage the motor.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. This product is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Figure 4. Make sure the
product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration
as the plug. This product must
be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces risk of electrical shock by
providing an escape wire for electric
current. This product is equipped
with a cord having a grounding
wire with an appropriate grounding
plug. Plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
Improper
use of
grounding plug can result in
a possible risk of electrical
shock!
Do not use a
grounding adapter
with this product!
2. If repair or replacement of cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect
grounding wire to either flat blade
terminal. The wire with insulation
having an external surface that
is green (with or without yellow
stripes) is the grounding wire.
Never connect green
(or green and
yellow) wire to a live terminal.
3. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or
if in doubt as to whether product is
properly grounded. Do not modify
plug provided; if it will not fit outlet,
have proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Overheating, short-
circuiting and fire
damage will result from inadequate
wiring, etc.
Pre-Operation
BEFORE FIRST STARTUP
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
Complete this procedure before using
compressor for the first time. Once
completed, it is not necessary to repeat.
1. Turn regulator knob fully clockwise
(to the right) to open air flow.
2. Do not attach a hose or any other
fitting to the compressor.
3. Turn ON/OFF switch to OFF ( O )
position.
4. Plug in power cord.
5. Turn ON/OFF switch to ON ( I )
position. Allow compressor to run
for 5 minutes.
6. Turn ON/OFF switch to OFF ( O )
position.
7. Unplug power cord.
OPERATING PROCEDURE
1. Turn switch to OFF ( O ) position and
plug in power cord.
2. Turn regulator knob
counterclockwise to close air flow.
3. Turn switch to ON ( I ) position.
4. Compressor will build to maximum
pressure and shut off.
5. With hose attached to outlet of
compressor, attach tire chuck or
other tool to open end of hose.
6. Adjust regulator to proper pressure
for tool or tire. Operate tool per
instructions.
As air is depleted from the tank by
use of a tire chuck, tool, etc., the
compressor will restart automatically
at its preset “cut-in” pressure. When
a tool is being used continuously,
the compressor will cycle on and off
automatically.
7. Turn switch to OFF ( O ) position,
unplug power cord and drain
tank of air when finished using
compressor.
Operation
STARTUP
Do not attach air
tools to open end of
the hose until start-up is completed and
the unit checks OK.
ON / OFF CYCLING OF COMPRESSOR
In the ON ( I ) position, the compressor
pumps air into the tank. When a
shut-off (preset “cut-out”) pressure is
reached, the compressor automatically
shuts off.
If the compressor is left in the
ON ( I ) position and air is depleted
from the tank by use of a tire chuck,
tool, etc., the compressor will restart
automatically at its preset “cut-in”
pressure. When a tool is being used
continuously, the compressor will cycle
on and off automatically.
In the OFF ( O ) position, the pressure
switch cannot function and the
compressor will not operate. Make
sure switch is in OFF ( O ) position when
connecting or disconnecting power
cord from electrical outlet.
PRESSURE GAUGES
Gauge attached to regulator indicates
air pressure going to hose (and any tool
attached to end of hose).
Gauge attached to pressure switch
indicates air pressure in tank.
