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 1. 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,
ASME Safety Valve - This valve
automatically releases air if the tank
pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
Regulator - The regulator controls the
amount of air pressure released at the
hose outlet. Turning the regulator knob
clockwise (to the right) will increase air
pressure at the outlet. Turning the knob
counter-clockwise (to the left) will lower
air pressure to the outlet. Turning knob
fully counter-clockwise will shut off flow
of air completely.
Pressure Gauges - There are two
gauges located next to the regulator.
These gauges read air pressure in
pounds per square inch (psi). The
gauge on the right shows pressure at
the outlet. Make sure this gauge reads
ZERO (by adjusting the regulator)
BEFORE changing air tools or
disconnecting hose from outlet. The
gauge on the left shows pressure in the
tank indicating compressor is building
pressure properly.
Drain Valve - This valve is located on
the bottom of the tank. Use this valve
to drain moisture from the tank daily to
reduce the risk of corrosion.
have proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Overheating, short-
circuiting and fire
damage will result from inadequate
wiring, etc.
Definition of Terms
ON / OFF Switch ( I / O ) - Push
switch to the ON ( I ) position to turn
compressor on. Push switch to the
OFF ( O ) position to turn compressor off.
This switch should be in the OFF ( O )
position when connecting /
disconnecting power cord from
electrical outlet or when changing tools.
Pressure Switch (located internally) -
When the compressor is turned ON,
this switch will shut compressor off
automatically when tank pressure
reaches maximum shut-off / cut-out
pressure. If compressor remains on and
air is depleted from tank, this switch
will allow compressor to automatically
restart at the restart / cut-in pressure.
Handle - Designed to move the
compressor.
