HAZARD Risk of Unsafe Operation WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT Unsafe operation of your air compressor could lead to serious injury to you or others. • Review and understand all instructions and warnings in this manual.
HAZARD Risk of Air Tank Bursting Risk of Attachments and Accessories Bursting Page 4 WHAT CAN HAPPEN The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the tank, and RESULT IN A VIOLENT TANK EXPLOSION RESULTING IN SERIOUS INJURY TO YOU OR OTHERS: • Failure to properly drain condensed water from the tank, causing rust and thinning of the tank wall. • Modifications or attempted repairs to the tank.
HAZARD Risk of Electric Shock Risk of Explosion or Fire Risk to Breathing WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT • Your air compressor is powered by electricity. Like any other electrically powered device, if it is not used properly, it may cause electrical shock. • Electrical grounding: failure to provide adequate grounding to this product could increase the risk of electric shock.
HAZARD Risk to Breathing (continued) Risk from Compressed Air Risk from Moving Parts Risk of Burn Page 6 WHAT CAN HAPPEN solvents, paint remover, insecticides, weed killers, etc., contain harmful vapors and poisons. • Breathing compressor or sprayed materials vapor can result in serious injury. HOW TO PREVENT IT Use an approved respirator designed for use with your specific application.
GLOSSARY CFM: Cubic feet per minute. SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery. PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of pressure. CUT-IN PRESSURE: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you continue to use your accessory or air tool. When the tank pressure drops to a certain level the motor will restart automatically re-started is called "cut-in pressure".
product was shipped directly to you, report any damages to the carrier and arrange for inspection of goods immediately. STORAGE Before you store the air compressor, make sure you do the following: 1. Review the “Maintenance” and “Operating Procedures” sections and perform maintenance as necessary. Be sure to drain water from the air tank. 2. Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage (such as being stepped on or run over). Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location.
reaches “cut-out” pressure. PRESSURE SWITCH: The pressure switch automatically starts the motor when the air tank pressure drops to the factory set “cut-in” pressure. It stops the motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory set “cut-out” pressure.
amount of oil may be present in the pump upon receipt of the air compressor. This is due to factory testing and does not mean the pump contains oil. Please see the chart below as the MINIMUM requirements: CAUTION: Multi-Viscosity motor oils, like 10W 30, should not be used in an air compressor. They leave carbon deposits on critical components, thus reducing performance and compressor life. Use air compressor oil only. (120 Volts) 10-12 12-14 14-16 16-18 18-20 Initial Start Up Procedure: 1.
grounding plug. The plug must be used with an outlet that has been installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. The outlet must have the same configuration as the plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are signs of damage. DANGER: Improper grounding can result in electrical shock. Do not modify the plug that has been provided.
MAINTENANCE WARNING: 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. To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air compressor unit, a routine maintenance schedule should be prepared and followed.
Allow oil to drain completely. 2.Replace the oil drain plug (The use of a sealing compound or Teflon tape to avoid leakage is recommended.) 3.Refill with the recommended oil to the proper level. SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS Air Filter - Inspection and Replacement: • Keep the air filter clean at all times. Do not operate the compressor with the air filter removed. • A dirty air filter will not allow the compressor to operate at full capacity.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE PERFORMING REPAIRS MAY EXPOSE VOLTAGE SOURCES, MOVING PARTS OR COMPRESSED AIR SOURCES. PERSONAL INJURY MAY OCCUR. PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING ANY REPAIRS, UNPLUG THE COMPRESSOR AND BLEED OFF TANK AIR PRESSURE. PROBLEM CAUSE Excessive tank pressure safety valve pops off. Defective pressure switch. Improper wiring. CORRECTION • Move the pressure switch lever to the "OFF" position. If the unit doesn't shut off, unplug. If the electrical contacts are welded together, replace the pressure switch.
PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION Pressure reading on the regulated pressure gauge drops when accessory is used. It is normal for "some" pressure drop to occur. If there is an excessive amount of pressure drop when the accessory is used, adjust the regulator following the instructions. Air leak from safety valve. Possible defective safety valve. Note:Adjust the regulated pressure under flow conditions (while accessory is being used). Compressor • Prolonged is not excessive supplying use of air.
PROBLEM CAUSE Motor will not run. (con’t) CORRECTION • Check valve is stuck open. • Remove and clean, or replace. • Loose electrical connections. • Check wiring connection inside pressure switch and terminal box area. • Possible defective capacitor. • Return to an Authorized Warranty Service Center for inspection or replacement if necessary. • Paint spray on internal motor parts. • Have checked at an Authorized Warranty Service Center. Do not operate the compressor in the paint spray area.
