The air compressor should be operated on a dedicated 15 amp circuit. If the circuit does
not have 15 free amps available, a larger circuit must be used. Always use more air
hose before utilizing extension cords. All extension cords used must be 12 gauge with
a maximum length of 25 ft. The circuit fuse type must be a time delay. Low voltage could
cause damage to the motor. 

Risk of Moving Parts

Risk of Burns

If the air compressor is in operation, all guards and covers should be attached or
installed correctly. If any guard or cover has been damaged, do not operate the 
equipment until the proper personnel has correctly repaired the equipment. The power
cord should be free of any moving parts, twisting and/or crimping while in use and while
in storage.

There are surfaces on your air compressor that while in operation and thereafter can
cause serious burns if touched. The equipment should be allowed time to cool before
any maintenance is attempted. Items such as the compressor pump and the outlet tube
are normally hot during and after operation.

Important Safety Instructions and Guidelines 

• Save all instructions •

CAUTION

Drain Valve:

Used to drain condensation from the air tank.

Located at bottom of tank.

Motor Thermal Overload:

The motor has an automatic 

thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats, this 
protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed
30 minutes to cool before restarting or press the reset 
button on the motor if applicable (not shown).

Pressure Switch:

This controls the power to the motor and 

also the cut-in/cut-out pressure settings. This switch serves
as the Auto-On/Off positions for the unit.

Air Intake Filter:

Provides clean air to the pump and must 

always be kept free of debris. Check on a daily basis or 
before each use. Picture shown in assembly section.

Air Compressor Pump:

Oil lubricated direct driven pump

that  compresses air which is distributed to the tank (not
shown).

Check Valve:

When the pump is not in operation the valve 

closes to retain air pressure inside the tank. An internal 
component.

Pressure Relief Valve: 

The pressure relief valve located 

on the side of the pressure switch, is designed to 
automatically release compressed air when the air 
compressor reaches cut-out pressure. The released air
should only escape momentarily and the valve should then
close.

Tank Safety Valve:

Used to allow excess tank pressure to 

escape into the atmosphere. This valve should only open
when the tank pressure is above the maximum rated 
pressure.

Outlet Pressure Gauge:

Indicates the outgoing air 

pressure to the tool and is controlled by the regulator.

Tank Pressure Gauge:

Indicates the reserve air pressure 

in the tank.

Regulator:

The air pressure coming from the air tank is 

controlled by the regulator. To increase the pressure turn
the knob clockwise and to decrease the pressure turn the
knob counterclockwise.
