Installation (Cont.)
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!
NOTE: Do not use grounding adapter.
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 outlet surface that is green
with or without yellow stripes is the
grounding wire.
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.
Never connect
green (or green and
yellow) wire to a live terminal.
EXTENSION CORDS
1. Use only a 3-wire extension cord that
has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a
3-slot receptacle that will accept plug
on product.
2. Make sure extension cord is in good
condition, and heavy enough to carry
current product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating.
3. To avoid loss of power and
overheating, it is better to use

DANGER
additional air hose instead of
extension cords to reach work area.
4. Table below shows correct size to use
depending on cord length and
nameplate ampere rating. If in doubt,
use next heavier gauge.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.
5. This product is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like plug illustrated in
Figure 2. Make sure that product is
connected to an outlet having same
configuration as plug.
Do not use adapter
with this product!
Operation
FOR TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION
1. Read instructions: Carefully read
through this owner’s manual BEFORE
OPERATING the new air compressor.
It contains information about
operation and maintenance of unit.
2. Drain tank daily: Depressurize system
prior to draining tank. Open drain
cock and drain moisture from tank.
Be sure to close cock tightly before
operating compressor. This helps
prevent tank corrosion and keeps oil
and moisture out of air used.
3. Change air filter: Never run
compressor without an air filter nor
with a clogged air filter. Rotate filter
cover when element is dirty, or
replace with a new filter.
ASME SAFETY VALVE
1. This valve automatically releases air if
air receiver pressure exceeds preset
maximum.
!
DANGER
Do not attempt to
tamper with this
valve!
2. This valve should be checked
occasionally by pulling the ring by hand.
If air leaks after ring has been released,
or valve is stuck and cannot be actuated
by ring, it MUST be replaced.

MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR
Moisture in compressed air will
form into droplets as it comes
from an air compressor pump.
When humidity is high or when a
compressor is in continuous use
for an extended period of time,
this moisture will collect in the
tank. When using a paint spray or
sandblast gun, this water will be
carried from the tank through the
hose, and out of the gun as
droplets mixed with the spray
material.
IMPORTANT: This condensation
will cause water spots in a paint
job, especially when spraying
other than water based paints. If
sandblasting, it will cause the
sand to cake and clog the gun,
rendering it ineffective.
A filter in the air line, located as
near to the gun as possible, will
help eliminate this moisture.
