INSTALLATION HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT 1. Location of the Air Compressor • • • • Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry, and well ventilated area. Locate the air compressor at least 12" away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air. Locate the air compressor as close to the main power supply as possible to avoid using long lengths of electrical wiring. NOTE: Long lengths of electrical wiring could cause power loss to the motor.
Wiring Instructions GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Improper electrical grounding can result in electrical shock. The wiring should be done by a qualified electrician to comply with national and local electrical codes. A qualified electrician needs to knows the following before wiring: 1. The amperage rating of the electrical box should be adequate. Refer to the product specifications, found in the front of this manual, for this information. 2.
• Use pipe that is the same size as the air tank outlet. Piping that is too small will restrict the flow of air. • • If piping is over 100 feet long, use the next larger size. • Bury underground lines below the frost line and avoid pockets where condensation can gather and freeze. Fill lines with air pressure before covering to make sure pipe joints are free from leaks. NOTE: The shut-off valve is not supplied with this unit. You must purchsase the shut-off valve separately.
OPERATION Know Your Air Compressor READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustrations with your unit to familiarize yourself with the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future reference. Description of Operation Become familiar with these controls before operating the unit. On/Auto/Off Switch: Turn this switch ON to provide automatic power to the pressure switch and OFF to remove power at the end of each use.
Air Compressor Pump (not shown): Compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that required at the air outlet. Check Valve Check Valve: When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is "open", allowing compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches "cut-out" pressure, the check valve "closes", allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank.
6. Check all air line fittings and connections/piping for air leaks by applying a soap solution. Correct if necessary. NOTE: Minor leaks can cause the air compressor to overwork, resulting in premature breakdown or inadequate performance. 7. Check for excessive vibration. Readjust or shim air compressor feet, if necessary. 8. After 20 minutes, close the globe valve. The air receiver will fill to "cut-out" pressure and the motor will stop. Before Each Start-Up: 1. Place On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF". 2.

To Drain Tank NOTE: Operation of the air compressor will cause condensation to build up in the air tank. Always drain tank on a washable surface or in a suitable container to prevent damaging or staining surfaces. 1. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF". 2. Close the globe valve. 3. Remove the air tool or accessory. 4. Open the globe valve and allow the air to slowly bleed from the air tank until tank pressure is approximately 20 psi. 5. Close the globe valve. 6.
6. Air Filter - Inspection and Replacement Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Compressor heads are exposed when filter cover is removed. Allow compressor to cool prior to servicing. A dirty air filter will not allow the compressor to operate at full capacity. Keep the air filter clean at all times. 1. Remove the air filter cover. 2. Remove the air filter from filter cover. IMPORTANT: Do not operate the compressor with the air filter removed. 3. Place new air filter into filter cover.
7. Motor Pulley/Flywheel Alignment NOTE: Once the motor pulley has been moved from its factory set location, the grooves of the flywheel and pulley must be aligned to within 1/16" to prevent excessive belt wear. The air compressor flywheel and motor pulley must be in-line (in the same plane) within 1/16" to assure belt retention within flywheel belt grooves. To check alignment, perform the following steps: 1.
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS Unit cycles automatically when power is on. When doing Maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air or moving parts. Personal injuries can occur. Before performing any Maintenance or repair, unplug the compressor and bleed off all air pressure. 5. 6. ALL MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OPERATIONS NOT LISTED MUST BE PERFORMED BY TRAINED SERVICE TECHNICIAN. Unscrew the check valve (turn counterclockwise) using a 7/8" open end wrench.
4. Motor This motor has a manual thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting. To restart: 1. IMPORTANT: If the overload protector shuts the motor off frequently, check for a possible voltage problem. Low voltage can also be suspected when: Place the On/Auto/Off lever in the Off position. 2. Allow the motor to cool. 3. Depress the red reset button on the motor.
TROUBLESHOOTING Performing repairs may expose voltage sources, moving parts or compressed air sources, moving parts or compressd air sources. Personal injury may occur. Prior to attempting any repairs, unplug the air compressor and bleed off all air tank air pressure. PROBLEM Excessive tank pressure (safety valve) pops off. CAUSE Pressure switch does not shut off motor when compressor reaches "cut-out" pressure. Pressure switch "cut-out" too high.
CORRECTION CAUSE PROBLEM Pressure reading It is normal for "some" on the regulated pressure drop to occur. pressure gauge (if equipped) drops when an accessory is used. If there is an excessive amount of pressure drop when the accessory is used, adjust the regulator as instructed in the Operation section. NOTE: Adjust the regulated pressure under flow conditions (while accesory is being used). Air leak from safety valve. Possible defect in safety valve.
PROBLEM Motor will not run. CORRECTION CAUSE Motor overload protection switch has tripped. Let motor cool off and overload switch will automatically reset. Tank pressure exceeds pressure switch "cut-in" pressure. Motor will start automatically when tank pressure drops below "cut-in" pressure of pressure switch. Check valve stuck open. Remove and clean, or replace. Loose electrical connections. Check wiring connection inside pressure switch and terminal box area.
PROBLEM CORRECTION CAUSE Knocking Noise. Possible defect in safety valve. Excessive belt wear. Squealing sound. Operate safety valve manually by pulling on ring.
