Introduction
R efer to Figure 3 to locate the
following items.
ON / OFF Switch ( I / O ) - Push
switch to the ON ( I ) position to turn
compressor on. Push switch to the OFF
( O ) position to turn compressor off.
This switch should be in the OFF ( O )
position when connecting /
disconnecting power cord from
electrical outlet or when changing
tools.
Pressure Switch (located
internally)- When the compressor
is turned ON, this switch will shut
compressor off automatically when
tank pressure reaches maximum shut-
off / cut-out pressure. If compressor
remains on and air is depleted from
tank, this switch will allow compressor
to automatically restart at the restart /
cut-in pressure.
Drain Valve - This valve is located on
the bottom of the tank. Use this valve
to drain moisture from the tank daily
to reduce the risk of corrosion.
Motor Reset - (not shown, located
inside motor). Designed to keep the
motor from overheating. The motor
has a self-hold protector. If the unit
is over worked, a thermal limiter will
shut unit off. If it happens, switch the
unit to the OFF position and unplug
the unit. Wait 30 minutes, plug the
unit in and switch the unit to the
ON position again to resume work.
This compressor is
equipped with an
overload protector which will shut off
motor if it becomes overloaded.
If the overload
protector is
actuated, the motor must be allowed
to cool down for approximately 30
minutes before it will reset.
Regulator - The regulator controls
the amount of air pressure released at
the hose outlet. Turning the regulator
knob clockwise (to the right) will
increase air pressure at the outlet.
Turning the knob counter-clockwise
(to the left) will lower air pressure to
the outlet. Turning knob fully counter-
clockwise will shut off flow of air
completely.
Pressure Gauges - There are two
gauges located next to the regulator.
These gauges read air pressure in
pounds per square inch (psi) The larger
gauge shows pressure at the outlet.
Make sure this gauge reads ZERO
(by adjusting the regulator) BEFORE
changing air tools or disconnecting
hose from outlet. The small gauge
shows pressure in the tank indicating
compressor is building pressure
properly.
ASME Safety Valve - This valve
automatically releases air if the tank
pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
Handle - Designed to move the
compressor.

Operating Instructions
Maintenance
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.
Safety valve must
be replaced if it
cannot be actuated or it leaks air after
ring is released.
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.
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 defl ect
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.
DRAIN TANK
With compressor shut off and pressure
released, drain moisture from tank by
opening drain valve underneath tank.
LUBRICATION.
This is an oilless type compressor
requiring no lubrication.
CLEANING
Turn power OFF and clean dust and
dirt from pump cover, tank, and air
lines.
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 fi lter in the air line, located as
near to the gun as possible, will
help eliminate this moisture.
Figure 5
OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
This compressor
is equipped with
a thermal overload protector which
will shut off motor if it becomes
overloaded.
If overload protector shuts motor OFF
frequently, look for the following
causes.
1. Low voltage.
2. Lack of proper ventilation.
If the overload
protector is
actuated, the motor must be allowed
to cool down for 30 minutes before
manual resetting.
END OF OPERATION/STORAGE
1. Turn ON / OFF switch to the OFF
position.
2. Unplug power cord from wall
outlet and wrap around handle
area 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
defl ect 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.
