SAFETY INFORMATION GENERAL SAFETY (Continued) WARNING WARNING Risk of Personal Injury. Never operate compressor without a beltguard. This unit can start automatically without warning. Personal injury or property damage could occur from contact with moving parts. Risk of Explosion. An ASME code safety relief valve with a setting no higher than the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) MUST be installed in the tank for this compressor.

PACKAGE CONTENTS E J K C D H A G I B F PART DESCRIPTION A Pressure Switch - AUTO/OFF Switch - In the AUTO position, the compressor shuts off automatically when tank pressure reaches the maximum preset pressure. After air is used from the tank and drops to a preset low level, the pressure switch automatically turns the motor back on. In the OFF position, the compressor will not operate. This switch should be in the OFF position when connecting or disconnecting the power from the unit.
PAGE 7
PACKAGE CONTENTS PART DESCRIPTION D Check valve - One-way valve that allows air to enter the tank, but prevents air in the tank from flowing back into the compressor pump. E Belt Guard - Covers the belt, motor pulley and flywheel. F Tank 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. G Tank Pressure Gauge - Indicates amount of air pressure stored in tank.

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS ELECTRICAL INFORMATION DANGER WARNING Risk of Shock. Improperly grounded motors are shock hazards. Make sure all the equipment is properly grounded. Risk of Personal Injury or Damage to Personal Property. Overheating, short circuiting and fire damage will result from inadequate wiring. WARNING WARNING Risk of Explosion. Disconnect, tag and lock out power source, then release all pressure from the system before attempting to install, service, relocate or perform any maintenance.
PAGE 12
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS GROUNDING This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not use grounding adapter.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS START-UP / BREAK-IN PROCEDURE WARNING WARNING Risk of Personal Injury. Do not attach air tools to open end of the hose until start-up is completed and the unit checks okay. Risk of Personal Injury. Never disconnect threaded joints with pressure in tank! 1. Check oil level per the Lubrication Section of this manual. 2. Open the bottom tank drain valve (see Figure 1). Turn outlet valve to open air flow. 3. Plug unit in. 4.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ON/OFF CYCLING OF COMPRESSOR NOTICE WARNING Unit care and maintenance. Drain liquid from tank daily. Risk of Bursting. Drain tank every day to prevent corrosion and possible injury due to tank damage. Do not operate drain with more than 40 psi in tank or drain valve may be damaged. Drain tank of moisture daily using the drain valve in the bottom of the tank. In the AUTO position, the compressor pumps air into the tank.
PAGE 16
CARE AND MAINTENANCE 1. Disconnect power cord plug from power source receptacle. Clean debris from motor, flywheel, tank, air lines and pump cooling fins. 2. Maintain proper oil level. Refer to Lubrication section for details. 3. Change oil. a. Allow compressor to run and warm up oil. Disconnect power cord plug from power source receptacle. b. Position a pan under pump. c. Remove oil drain plug (See Figure 1). Allow oil to collect in pan. d. Replace drain plug, fill pump to full level (See Figure 1).
PAGE 17
CARE AND MAINTENANCE 6. Check the safety valve by performing the following steps: a. Restore power to unit; turn pressure switch to the AUTO position. Run until unit reaches 90 psi. Turn pressure switch to OFF position. b. Wearing safety glasses and hearing protection, pull the ring on the safety valve to release pressure from compressor tank. Protect yourself from fast-moving air being released; do not allow fast-moving air to be directed toward your face (See Figure 3). c.

TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION Reset 5. Pressure switch shut-off pressure 5. Replace pressure switch. mechanism set too high. cuts out 6. Low voltage. 6. Check incoming voltage. It should be repeatedly approximately 120 volts. Low voltage could be or circuit due to wires (from breaker/fuse to outlet) being breaker trips too small in diameter and / or too long. Have a repeatedly. qualified electrician check these conditions and (Continued) make repairs as needed. 7.
