I_:_g_,_h SAFETY GUIDELINES

The following information relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this

information, we use the following symbols. Please read the manual and pay attention to these sections.

,_ _ - A POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT WILL CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.

_ - A POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.

rl_'_"j"j"_'_ _ A POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT MAY CAUSE MODERATE INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT.

1. RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. Never spray

flammable liquids in a confined area. It is normal for

:_1_ the motor and pressure switch to produce sparks

while operating. If sparks come into contact with

vapors from gasoline or other solvents, they may

ignite, causing fire or explosion. Always operate the

compressor in a well-ventilated area. Do not smoke

while spraying. Do not spray where sparks or flame

are present. Keep compressor as far from spray area

as possible.

RISK OF BURSTING. Rust can weaken the tank.

Drain the condensed water from the tank after each

use to reduce rusting. If a leak is detected in the tank,

replace the tank immediately. Do not weld, drill or

modify the air tank of this compressor. Welding or

modifications on the air compressor tank can severely

impair tank strength and cause an extremely

hazardous condition. Welding or modifying the tank in

any manner will void the warranty.

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. A licensed

electrician in accordance with all local and national

codes must install all wiring. Never use an electric air

compressor outdoors when it is raining or on a wet

surface, as it may cause an electric shock.

RISK OF INJURY. This unit starts automatically.

ALWAYS shut off the compressor, remove the plug

from the outlet, and bleed all pressure from the

system before servicing the compressor, and when

the compressor is not in use. Do not operate the unit

with the shroud removed. Serious injury could occur

from contact with moving parts.

RISK OF BURSTING. Check the manufacturer's

maximum pressure rating for air tools and

accessories. Compressor outlet pressure must be

regulated so as to never exceed the maximum

pressure rating of the tool. Relieve all pressure

through the hose before attaching or removing

accessories.

12.

13.

RISK OF BURNS. High temperatures are generated

by the pump and manifold. To prevent burns or other

injuries, DO NOT touch the pump, manifold or

transfer tube while the pump is running. Allow them to

cool before handling or servicing. Keep children away

from the compressor at all times.

RISK TO BREATHING. Be certain to read all labels

when you are spraying paints or toxic materials, and

follow the safety instructions. Use a respirator mask if

there is a chance of inhaling anything you are

spraying. Read all instructions and be sure that your

respirator mask will protect you.

RISK OF EYE INJURY. Always wear ANSI Z87.1

approved safety goggles when using an air

compressor. Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward

a person or any part of the body. Equipment can

cause serious injury if the spray penetrates the skin.

RISK OF BURSTING. Do not tamper with the control

board or adjust the relief valve for any reason. Doing

so voids all warranties. They have been preset at the

factory for the maximum pressure of this unit.

Personal injury and/or property damage may result if

the control board or the relief valve are tampered with.

RISK OF BURSTING. Do not use plastic or pvc pipe

for compressed air. Use only galvanized steel pipe

and fittings for compressed air distribution lines.

RISK TO HEARING. Always wear hearing protection

when using an air compressor. Failure to do so may

result in hearing loss.

RISK TO BREATHING. Never directly inhale the

compressed air produced by a compressor. It is not

suitable for breathing purposes.

The power cord on this product contains lead, a

chemical known to the State of California to cause

cancer, and birth defects or other reproductive harm.

Wash hands after handling.

]

1. Drain the moisture from the tank on a daily basis. A

clean, dry tank will help prevent corrosion.

2. Pull the pressure relief valve ring daily to ensure that

the valve is functioning properly, and to clear the

valve of any possible obstructions.

3. To provide proper ventilation for cooling, the

compressor must be kept a minimum of 12 inches (31

cm) from the nearest wall, in a well-ventilated area.

4. Fasten the compressor down securely if transporting

is necessary. Pressure must be released from the

tank before transporting.

Protect the air hose and electric cord from damage

and puncture. Inspect them weekly for weak or worn

spots, and replace if necessary.

To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to

rain. Store indoors.

Never operate the compressor if the power cord or

plug are damaged. Take the equipment to the nearest

Authorized Service Center, and have a Technician

replace it.

OVERVIEW \ VUE D'ENSEMBLE \ RESUMEN GENERAL ]

I[_C]E'_; _ BASIC AIR COMPRESSOR COMPONENTS I

Oilless air compressors are factory lubricated for life and

do not require any oil.

The basic components of the air compressor are the

electric motor, pump, digital control panel and tank. The

electric motor (see A) powers the pump. The electric motor is

equipped with an overload protector and an automatic reset. If

the motor becomes overheated, the overload protector will

shut it down to prevent damage to the motor. When the motor

sufficiently cools, it will automatically restart.

The pump (see B) compresses the air and discharges it

into the tank.

The tank (see C) stores the compressed air.

The digital control panel (see D) consists of the on/off

button (E), tank pressure button (F), digital display window (G)

and a tank pressure indicator (H).

As compressed air is used and the pressure level in the

tank drops to the kick-in pressure, the control board restarts

the motor automatically, without warning, and the pump

resumes compressing air. The control board shuts down the

motor when the air pressure in the tank reaches the cut-out

pressure. The functions of these components are described on

pages 8-10.

I_,:,_,c!_ €:LC:MENTSDE BASE gu COMPRESSEUR D'AIR I

Les compresseurs d'air sans huile sont lubrifies & I'usine

et ne requierent aucun huilage.

Les composants de base du compresseur d'air sont le

moteur electrique, la pompe, le panneau de commande

numerique et le reservoir.

Le moteur 61ectrique (A) actionne la pompe. Le moteur

electrique est 6quipe d'un limiteur de surcharge

reenclenchement automatique. Si le moteur surchauffe, le

limiteur coupe I'alimentation pour eviter d'endommager le

moteur. Lorsque le moteur est suffisamment refroidi, il

redemarre automatiquement.

La pompe (B) comprime I'air.

Le r6servoir (C) contient I'air comprime.

Le panneau de commande numerique (voir D) comprend la

touche marche/arr&t (E), la touche de pression du reservoir

(F), la fen&tre d'affichage numerique (G) et I'indicateur de

pression du reservoir (H).

Lorsque I'appareil utilise de I'air comprime et Iorsque le

niveau de pression du reservoir tombe a la pression de

demarrage, le tableau de commande fait redemarrer

automatiquement le moteur, sans avertissement et la pompe

recommence a comprimer I'air. Le tableau de commande

coupe le moteur Iorsque la pression d'air du reservoir atteint la

pression de coupure. Les fonctions de ces composants sont

decrites aux pages 8 a 10.

Los compresores de aire sin aceite se lubrican en f4_brica

para toda su vida Qtil, y no requieren aceite.

COMPONENTES BASlCOS DEL

COMPRESOR DE AIRE

Los componentes b4_sicos del compresor de aire son el

motor electrico, la bomba, el panel de control digital y el

tanque.

El motor el_ctrico (vea A) acciona la bomba. El motor

electrico est& equipado con un protector contra sobrecargas y

un reajuste autom4_tico. Si el motor se sobrecalienta, el

protector contra sobrecargas Io apagara para evitar que sufra

dar_os. Cuando el motor se enfrie Io suficiente, volver& a

arrancar autom&ticamente.

La bomba (vea B) comprime el aire y Io descarga hacia el

tanque.

El tanque (vea C) almacena el aire comprimido.

El panel de control digital (ver D) consta del bot6n de

encendido/apagado (ON/OFF) (E), del bot6n para la presi6n

del tanque (F), de la ventana de la pantalla digital (G) y del

indicador de la presi6n del tanque (H).

AI utilizar el aire comprimido y cuando el nivel de presi6n

del tanque baja hasta la presion de arranque, el tablero de

control reinicia autom&ticamente el motor, sin advertencia, y la

bomba comienza a comprimir el aire. El tablero de control

apaga el motor cuando la presi6n del aire en el tanque

alcanza la presi6n de corte. Las funciones de estos

componentes se describen en las p4_ginas 8 a 10.

ELECTRICAL WIRING

ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS

SPI_CIFICATIONS DE L'ALIMENTATION I_LECTRIQUE

REQUERIMIENTOS DE ALIMENTACION ELI_CTRICA

I Check with a licensed electrician if the grounding instructions

are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the

product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided;

if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a

licensed electrician.

Refer to the air compressor's serial label for the unit's

voltage and amperage requirements.

Use a dedicated circuit.

For best performance and reliable starting, the air

compressor must be plugged into a dedicated circuit, as

close as possible to the fusebox or circuit breaker. The

compressor will use the full capacity of a typical 15 amp

household circuit. If any other electrical devices are drawing

from the compressor's circuit, the compressor may fail to start.

Low voltage or an overloaded circuit can result in sluggish

starting that causes the motor overload protection system or

circuit breaker to trip, especially in cold conditions.

NOTE: A circuit breaker is recommended. If the air

compressor is connected to a circuit protected by a fuse, use

dual element time delay fuses (Buss Fusetron type "T" only).

EXTENSION CORDS I

NOTE: Avoid use of extension cords.

For optimum performance, plug the compressor power

cord directly into a grounded wall socket. Do not use an

extension cord unless absolutely necessary, instead, use a

longer air hose to reach the area where the air is needed.

If use of an extension cord cannot be avoided, the cord

should be no longer than 100 feet and be a minimum wire size

of 12 gauge (AWG). Do not use a 16 or 14 gauge extension

cord.

Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade

grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug

on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in good

condition. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage,

resulting in loss of power and overheating. The smaller the

gauge number, the heavier the cord.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS I

This product should 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 ordinance.

_ Improper installation of the grounding

plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or

replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not

connect the grounding wire to either flat blade

terminal. The wire insulation having an outer surface

that is green with or without yellow stripes is the

grounding wire.

This product is for use on a nominal 115 volt circuit. A cord

with a grounding plug, as shown here, shall be used.

Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet

having the same configuration as the plug (see Figure 1). No

adapter should be used with this product.

CABLAGE F:LECTIQUE

Pour vous renseigner sur les normes d'intensite et de

tension de I'appareil, refGrez-vous a I'etiquette du numero de

serie du compresseur d'air.

Utilisez un circuit s6par&

Pour obtenir le meilleur rendement possible et une

mise en marche fiable, le compresseur d'air doit 6tre

install_ sur un circuit s_par6, aussi pros que possible

d'une boite & fusibles ou d'un disjoncteur. Le compresseur

utilise toute la capacite d'un circuit a usage domestique typique.

Si d'autres appareils electriques tirent du courant sur le circuit

du compresseur, il est possible que le compresseur ne puisse

pas demarrer. Si la tension est insuffisante ou si le circuit est

surcharge, le demarrage risque d'Gtre lent et d'entrafner en

consequence le declenchement du disjoncteur ou de

I'interrupteur de remise en marche du moteur, surtout s'il fait

froid.

REMARQUE : II est recommande d'utiliser un disjoncteur.

Si le compresseur est branche sur un circuit proteg6 par un

fusible, utilisez des fusibles temporises & double el6ment (Buss

Fusetron de type <<T>>seulement).

RALLONGES I

REMARQUE : Evitez d'utiliser des rallonges.

Pour obtenir un rendement optimum, branchez le c_ble

d'alimentation du compresseur directement sur une prise de

courant mise a la terre. N'utilisez pas de rallonge sauf

nGcessite absolue. Utilisez plutGt un tuyau flexible plus long

pour atteindre la zone oQ I'air est necessaire.

S'il I'utilisation d'une rallonge est inevitable, le cordon

electrique ne dolt pas depasser 30 m (100 pi) et dolt 6tre d'un

calibre minimum de 12 (AWG). N'utilisez pas une rallonge de

calibre 16 ou 14.

goggles when opening petcock.

Open the petcock (see B) to allow moisture to drain from

the tank.

MISE EN MARCHE QUOTIDIENNE I

Fermez le robinet de purge du reservoir (D). Tourner vers

la droite.

Branchez le cordon d'alimentation.

-' _ _ • La pompe et le moteur

electrique produisent des temperatures elev6es.

Pour eviter les brQlures et autres blessures, NE

touchez PAS le compresseur quand il est en marche.

Laissez-le refroidir avant de le manipuler ou

d'effectuer son entretien. Ne laissez jamais les

"'°-'L''"'L''To avoid personal injury, always shut off and

unplug the compressor and relieve all air pressure from

the system before performing any service on the air

compressor.

Regular maintenance will ensure trouble free operation.

Your electric powered air compressor represents high quality

engineering and construction; however, even high quality

machinery requires periodic maintenance. The items listed

below should be inspected on a regular basis.

DRAINING THE TANK I

_1_ _Condensation will accumulate in the

tank. To prevent corrosion of the tank from the inside,

this moisture must be drained at the end of every

workday. Be sure to wear protective eyewear. Relieve

the air pressure in the system and open the petcock

on the bottom of the tank to drain (See B and D) on

pages 13, 14 and 15.

NOTE: In cold climates, drain the tank after each use to

reduce problems with freezing of water

condensation.

CHECKING THE RELIEF VALVE J

Pull the relief valve daily to ensure that it is operating

properly and to clear the valve of any possible obstructions.

TESTING FOR LEAKS I

MAINTENANCE J [I_IiF,'_h VERIFICATION DE LA SOUPAPE DE DI_CHARGEJ

Tirezchaque jour sur lasoupape de decharge pour vous

assurer qu'ellefonctionne correctement et eliminertoutes les

obstructions6ventuelles.

Check that all connections are tight. A small leak in any of

the hoses or pipe connections will substantially reduce the

performance of your air compressor. If you suspect a leak,

spray a small amount of soapy water around the area of the

suspected leak with a spray bottle. If bubbles appear, repair or

replace the faulty component. Do not overtighten any

connections.

STORAGE

Before storing the compressor for a prolonged period, use

an air blow gun to clean all dust and debris from the

compressor. Disconnect the power cord and coil it up. Pull the

pressure relief valve to release all pressure from the tank.

Drain all moisture from the tank. Cover the entire unit to protect

it from moisture and dust.

ENTRETIEN J

-' _ u • Pour eviter les risques de

blessures, arr6tez et debranchez toujours le compresseur

et liberez toute la pression d'air dans le circuit avant

de proceder a I'entretien.

L'entretien r6gulier de I'appareil permettra d'assurer un

fonctionnement sans problemes. Votre compresseur d'air

61ectrique est un appareil de haute qualite ; toutefois, m6me les

machines de haute qualite necessitent un entretien periodique.

Les composants enum6r6s ci-dessous doivent 6tre inspectes

requli6rement.

VIDANGE DU R_:SERVOIR I

,i_ -' _ u • De la condensation se

forme dans le reservoir. Pour eviter la formation de

corrosion depuis I'interieur du reservoir, cette

condensation dolt 6tre 6vacuee & la fin de chaque

journee de travail. Veillez & porter des lunettes de

protection. Liberez la pression d'air dans le circuit et

ouvrez le robinet de purge en bas du reservoir pour

vidanger (Voir Bet D) aux pages 13, 14 et 15.

REMARQUE :Dans les climats froids, purger le reservoir

apres chaque utilisation afin de reduire les problemes de gel

d'eau de condensation.

ESSAI D'#TANCHEIT#

Assurez-vous que tousles raccords sont serres. Le

rendement de votre compresseur peut 6tre reduit de maniere

significative en presence d'une petite fuite d'air dans les tuyaux

fiexibles, ou les raccords de tuyauterie. Si vous suspectez une

fuite, vaporisez un peu d'eau savonneuse autour de la zone. Si

des bulles apparaissent, reparez ou remplacez le composant

defectueux. Ne serrez pas trop.
