2-1. DESCRIPTION
This unit has been specifically designed to provide the
proper
amount of air
pressure to operate the Spectrum
250
plasma cutting
machine. This unit can also be used
for other purposes that require the use of an air com-
pressor such as inflating tires, cleaning parts, etc.
SECTION 3 – INSTALLATION
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK can kill.
•
Do not touch live electrical parts.
•
Shut down unit and power source, and dis-
connect input power employing lockout/tag-
ging
procedures before inspecting or installing.
Lockout/tagging procedures consist of remov-
ing plug from receptacle
,
padlocking line dis-
connect switch in open position, removing
fuses
from fuse box, or shutting of
f and red-tag
-
ging circuit breaker or other disconnecting
de
-
vice.
3-1. LOCATION
WARNING:
FIRE OR
EXPLOSION can result
from placing unit on or over combustible
surfaces; RESTRICTED AIRFLOW can
cause
overheating and possible damage
to
internal parts.
•
Do
not locate unit over combustible
surfaces.
•
Maintain
at least 6 inches (152 mm) of unre
-
stricted
space on all sides of unit, and keep un
-
derside free of obstructions.
•
Do
not place any
filtering device over the in
-
take air passages that provide airflow for cool-
ing this unit.
Warranty
is void if any type of filtering device is
used at intake air passages.
Figure 2-1 gives overall dimensions of the unit.
The service life and efficiency of this unit are reduced
when the unit is subjected to high levels of dust, dirt,
moisture, corrosive vapors, and extreme heat.
3-2. INPUT AND OUTPUT CONNECTIONS
Make all connections according to Figure 3-1.

SECTION 5 – MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
5-1. ROUTINE MAINTENANCE (Table 5-1)
IMPORTANT:
Every six months inspect the labels on
this unit for legibility. All precautionary labels must be
maintained in a clearly readable state and replaced

•
Allow cooling period before servicing.
Maintenance to be performed only by qualified
persons.
A. Air Compressor Fan
This
unit’
s compressor is equipped with an exhaust
fan
and
relies on forced draft for adequate cooling. The fan/
compressor
motor is manufactured with lifetime
sealed
bearings and requires no maintenance.
B. Internal Cleaning
