Important Safety Information (Continued)

BREATHABLE AIR WARNING

This compressor/pump is not equipped and should not be used “as is” to supply breathing quality

air. For any application of air for human consumption, the air compressor/pump will need to be

fitted with suitable in-line safety and alarm equipment. This additional equipment is necessary to

properly filter and purify the air to meet minimal specifications for Grade D breathing as described

in Compressed Gas Association Commodity Specification G 7.1, OSHA 29 CFR 1910. 134, and/or

Canadian Standards Associations (CSA).

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES

In the event the compressor is used for the purpose of breathing air application and proper in-line

safety and alarm equipment is not simultaneously used, existing warranties shall be voided, and the

manufacturer disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss, personal injury or damage.

General Safety

Do not run unattended. Leaving compressor in AUTO position may allow it to turn

on inadvertently. To prevent this and possible damage from power surge, turn to

OFF position after each use.

• Read all manuals included with this product carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and the proper

use of the equipment.

• Follow all local electrical and safety codes as well as the United States National Electrical Codes (NEC) and

Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).

• Only persons well acquainted with these rules of safe operation should be allowed to use the compressor.

• Keep visitors away and NEVER allow children in the work area.

• Wear safety glasses and use hearing protection when operating the unit.

• Do not stand on or use the unit as a handhold.

• Before each use, inspect compressed air system and electrical components for signs of damage,

deterioration, weakness or leakage. Repair or replace defective items before using.

• Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness.

Motors, electrical equipment and controls can cause electrical arcs that will

ignite a flammable gas or vapor. Never operate or repair in or near a flammable

gas or vapor. Never store flammable liquids or gases in the vicinity of the compressor.

Never operate compressor without a beltguard. This unit can

start automatically without warning. Personal injury or property damage could

occur from contact with moving parts.

• Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that will get caught in the moving parts of the unit.

Compressor parts may be hot even if the unit is stopped.

• Keep fingers away from a running compressor; fast moving and hot parts will cause injury and/or burns.

• If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, STOP the engine/motor and check immediately for the

cause. Vibration is generally an indication of trouble.

• To reduce fire hazard, keep engine/motor exterior free of oil, solvent, or excessive grease.

Never use plastic (PVC) pipe for compressed air. Serious injury or death could

result.

An ASME code safety relief valve with a setting no higher than the Maximum

Allowable Working Pressure (MAWP) of the tank MUST be installed in the air lines

or in the tank for this compressor. The ASME safety valve must have sufficient flow and pressure

ratings to protect the pressurized components from bursting. The flow rating can be found in the parts

manual. The safety valve in the intercooler does not provide system protection.

Important Safety Information (Continued)

Maximum operating pressure is 125 psi for single stage compressors. Do not

operate with pressure switch or pilot valves set higher than 125 psi (single stage).

• Never attempt to adjust ASME safety valve. Keep safety valve free from paint and other accumulations.

Never attempt to repair or modify a tank! Welding, drilling or any other

modification will weaken the tank resulting in damage from rupture or explosion.

Always replace worn, cracked or damaged tanks.

Drain liquid from tank daily.

• Tanks rust from moisture build-up, which weakens the tank. Make sure to drain tank regularly and inspect

periodically for unsafe conditions such as rust formation and corrosion.

• Fast moving air will stir up dust and debris which may be harmful. Release air slowly when draining moisture

or depressurizing the compressor system.

Spraying Precautions

Do not spray flammable materials in vicinity of open flame or near

ignition sources including the compressor unit.

• Do not smoke when spraying paint, insecticides, or other flammable substances.

• Use a face mask/respirator when spraying and spray in a well ventilated area to prevent health and fire

hazards.

• Do not direct paint or other sprayed material at the compressor. Locate compressor as far away from the

spraying area as possible to minimize overspray accumulation on the compressor.

• When spraying or cleaning with solvents or toxic chemicals, follow the instructions provided by the chemical

manufacturer.

Save These Instructions

Do Not Discard

The DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTICE notifications and instructions in this manual cannot

cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Disconnect, tag and lock out power source then release all pressure

from the system before attempting to install, service, relocate or perform any

maintenance.

Do not lift or move unit without appropriately rated equipment. Be sure the unit is

securely attached to lifting device used. Do not lift unit by holding onto tubes or

coolers. Do not use unit to lift other attached equipment.

Picking the Location

Install and operate unit at least 18 inches from any obstructions in a

clean, well ventilated area. The compressor must be placed on a firm

surface. The surrounding air temperature should not exceed 100° F.

This will ensure an unobstructed flow of air to cool compressor and

allow adequate space for maintenance.

Do not locate the compressor air inlet

near steam, paint spray, sandblast areas

or any other source of contamination. This debris will damage

the motor.

NOTE: If compressor operates in a hot, moist environment, supply

compressor pump with clean, dry outside air. Supply air should be

piped in from external sources.

Electrical Installation

All wiring and electrical connections

should be performed by a qualified

electrician. Installation must be in accordance with local

codes and national electrical codes.

Wiring

1. Local electrical wiring codes differ from area to area. Source wiring, plug and protector must be rated for

at least the amperage and voltage indicated on motor nameplate, and meet all electrical codes for this

minimum.

2. Use a slow blow fuse or a circuit breaker.

3. This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a

grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 3.

Make sure the product is connected to an outlet having the same

configuration as the plug. This product must be grounded. In the

event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electrical

shock by providing an escape wire for electric current. This product

is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate

grounding plug. Plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly

installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and

ordinances.

Overheating, short circuiting and fire damage will result from inadequate wiring.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS

Disconnect, tag and lock out power source then release all pressure

from the system before attempting to install, service, relocate or perform any

maintenance.

Check compressor often for any visible problems and follow maintenance procedures each time compressor is

used.

ASME Safety Valve

Do not remove or attempt to adjust the

safety valve!

Check the safety valve by performing the following steps:

1. Plug the compressor in and run until shut off pressure is reached.

2. Wearing safety glasses, pull the ring on the safety valve to

release pressure from compressor tank. Use your other hand to

deflect fast-moving air from being directed toward your face.

3. The safety valve should automatically close at approximately

40 psi - 50 psi. If the safety valve does not allow air to be

released when you pull on the ring, or if it does not close

automatically, it MUST be replaced.

Safety valve must be replaced if it cannot be actuated or it leaks air after ring is

released.

Drain Tank

1. Turn compressor off and release pressure from system. (To

release pressure from system, pull ring on ASME safety valve.

Deflect escaping air by shielding valve with one hand as you pull

ring with other hand.) Pull ring until tank is empty.

A large amount of

fast moving air will be released when the

safety valve is opened with pressure in the tank. Wear ANSI

approved Z87.1 safety glasses.

2. Drain moisture from tank by opening drain valve underneath tank.

Tilt tank to remove all moisture.

3. Clean dust and dirt from tank, air lines and pump cover while compressor is still OFF.

Oil Change

1. Allow compressor to run and warm up oil. Unplug unit.

2. Position a pan under pump end of unit.

3. Remove drain plug. Allow oil to collect in pan. Tilt unit to completely drain.

4. Replace drain plug, fill pump to center of sight glass. Use Chevron synthetic 5W-30, Mobil 1 5W-30 or 10W-

30 synthetic motor oil. Using other types of oil will cause starting problems.

5. Change oil after every 50 hours of use.

Intake Air Filter Maintenance

Removal, Inspection and Replacement (Figure 7).

The intake filter element should be removed and checked periodically.

A clogged intake filter can decrease compressor performance and

cause the compressor to overheat.

1. Rotate the filter cover counter-clockwise and remove.

2. Remove the filter element and inspect.

3. If the filter element is dirty or clogged, replace it.

4. Reinstall filter and cover.

IMPORTANT: Locate unit as far from spraying area as hose will

allow to prevent overspray from clogging filter.

End of Operation/Storage

1. Turn AUTO/OFF switch to the OFF position.

2. Unplug power cord from wall outlet and wrap around handle to prevent damage when not in use.

3. Wearing safety glasses drain tank of air by pulling the ring on the safety valve. Use other hand to deflect fast

moving air from being directed toward your face.

4. Drain tank of condensation by opening drain valve on bottom of tank. Tank pressure should be below 10 psi

when draining tank.

5. Air hose should be disconnected from compressor and hung open ends down to allow any moisture to drain.

6. Compressor and hose should be stored in a cool, dry place.

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.
