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.

_lt _ - A POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS _NJURY OR LOSS OF UFE.

_ - A POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT MAY CAUSE MODERATE _NJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT,

A_ 6.

R_SK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. Never spray

flammable liquids in a confined area. It is norma! for

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-venflated area. Do not smoke

while spraying. Do not spray where sparks or flame

are present. Keep compressor as far from spray area

as possible.

RBK 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, dril! 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 nationa!

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.

RBK OF _NJURY. 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.

R_SK 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 al! pressure

through the hose before attaching or removing

accessories.

10.

11.

12.

13.

R_SK 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. Al!ow them to

cool before handling or servicing. Keep children away

from the compressor at all times.

R_SK TO BREATHING. Be certain to read al! 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 al! 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 adjust the pressure

switch or 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 iniury

and/or property damage may result if the pressure

switch 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. Pul! 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 a specialist technician

will replace it.

OVERVIEW \ VUE D'ENSEMBLE \ RESUMEN GENERAL

F_E,_!;_i,_ BASIC AiR COMPRESSOR COMPONENTS ]

OiHess 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, pressure switch, 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

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

motor sufficientJy cooEs,it wiLEautomatically restart.

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

into the tank.

The tank (see C) stores the compressed air.

The pressure switch (see D) shuts down the motor and

reJieves air pressure in the pump and transfer tube when the

air pressure in the tank reaches the kick-out pressure. As

compressed air is used and the pressure level in the tank

drops to the kick-in pressure, the pressure switch restarts the

motor automatically, without warning, and the pump resumes

compressing air.

ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS

SPECIFICATIONS DE L'AUMENTATION €:LECTRIQUE

REQUERIMIENTOS DE ALJMENTACI6N ELC:CTRICA

ELECTRICAL WIRING ] Check with a licensed electrician if the grounding instructions

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

Refer to the air compressor's serial label for the unit's product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided;

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

voltage and amperage requirements.

licensed electrician.

Use a dedicated circuit

For best performance and reliable starting, the air

compressor must be plugged into a dedicated circuit, as

close as possiMe to the fusebox or circuit breaker. The

compressor wiiI 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 ]

NOTE: Avoid use of extension cords.

For optimum performance, plug the compressor power

cord directly into a grounded wal! 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-s!ot 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 ]

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 insta!led and grounded in

accordance with all local codes and ordinance.

• IL _ 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

termina!. 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 ¢:LECTIQUE

Pour vous renseigner sur les normes d'intensite et de

tension de Fapparei!, r6f6rez-vous a 1'6tiquette du numero de

serie du compresseur d'air.

UtiHsez un circuit s_par_

Pour obtenir te meiHeur rendement possible et une

raise en marche fiable, le compresseur d'air doit _tre

instaH_ sur un circuit separ_, aussi pros que possiMe

d'une bofte a fusibles ou d'un disjoncteur. Le compresseur

utilise toute la capacit6 d'un circuit a usage domestique typique.

Si d'autres appareils 61ectriques tirent du courant sur le circuit

du compresseur, i! est possible que le compresseur ne puisse

pas d6marrer. Si la tension est insuffisante ou si le circuit est

surcharg6, le d6marrage risque d'Stre lent et d'entratner en

cons6quence le d6denchement du disjoncteur ou de

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

froid.

REMARQUE : II est recommand6 d'utiliser un disjoncteur.

Si le compresseur est branch6 sur un circuit prot6g6 par un

fusible, utilisez des fusibles temporis6s a double el6ment (Buss

Fusetron de type <<T>>seulement).

RALLONGES ]

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

n6cessit6 absolue. Utilisez plut6t un tuyau flexible plus long

pour atteindre la zone o_ I'air est n6cessaire.

S'il I'utilisation d'une ral!onge est inevitable, le cordon

61ectrique ne doit pas d6passer 30 m (100 pi) et doit 6tre d'un

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

calibre 16 ou 14.

MAINTENANCE _ ENTRETIEN \ MANTEN_MIENTO 1

MAINTENANCE ] _,_h VERIFICATION DE LA SOUPAPE DE D#CHARGE]

Tirez chaque jour sur la soupape de decharge pour vous

assurer qu'elle fonctionne correctement et 61iminer toutes les

obstructions 6ventuelles.

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 ]

_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 11, 12and 13.

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

reduce problems with freezing of water

condensation.

CHECKING THE RELIEF VALVE ]

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

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 smal! 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 b!ow 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

LIk _Pour 6viter les risques de

blessures, arr6tez et debranchez toujours le compresseur

et lib6rez toute la pression d'air dans le circuit avant

de proc6der a I'entretien.

L'entretien regulier de Fapparei! permettra d'assurer un

fonctionnement sans problemes. Votre compresseur d'air

61ectrique est un appareil de haute qualit6 ; toutefois, m6me les

machines de haute qualit6 necessitent un entretien p6riodique.

Les composants 6numer6s ci-dessous doivent 6tre inspect6s

r6qulierement.

WDANGE DU RESERVOIR

_ll _De la condensation se

forme dans le reservoir. Pour 6viter la formation de

corrosion depuis !'int6rieur du r6servoir, cette

condensation doit 6tre 6vacuee a la fin de chaque

journ6e de travai!. Veillez a 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 11, 12 et 13.

REMARQUE : Dans les climats froids, purger le r6servoir

apr6s chaque utilisation afin de r6duire les problemes de gel

d'eau de condensation.

ESSAI D'¢:TANCHEIT_:

Assurez-vous que tousles raccords sont serres. Le

rendement de votre compresseur peut _tre r6duit de maniere

significative en pr6sence d'une petite fuite d'air dans les tuyaux

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

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

des bulles apparaissent, r6parez ou remplacez le composant

defectueux. Ne serrez pas trop.

ENTREPOSAGE

Avant d'entreposer le compresseur pour une p6riode

prolong6e, utilisez une soufflette pour nettoyer toute la

poussiere et tous les debris du compresseur. D6branchez le

cordon d'alimentation et enroulez-le. Tirez sur la soupape de

d6charge pour libSrer toute la pression darts le r6servoir.
