Precautions
• Drain the moisture from the tank daily to help prevent corrosion.
• Pull the pressure relief valve ring daily to ensure proper function and clear possible
obstructions
• To provide proper ventilation for cooling, the compressor must be kept at least 12
inches (31cm) from the nearest wall, in a well-ventilated area.
• Fasten the compressor securely and release tank pressure before transporting.
• Protect the air hose and electronic 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 nearest authorized service center and a specialist technician
will replace it.
WARNING!
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.

Basic Air Compressor Components
Oil-less aircompressor are factory
lubricated for life and do not require
any oil.
The basic components of the air
compressor 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 will shut it down to prevent
damage to the motor. When the motor
sufficiently cools, it will automatically
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 (located internally) shuts down the motor and relieves 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, the pressure switch restarts
the motor automatically, without warning, and the pump resumes compressing air.
Assembling the Air Compressor
Unpack the air compressor. Inspect the unit for damage. If the unit has been damaged
in transit, contact the carrier and complete a damage claim. Do this immediatly
because there are time limitations to damage claims. The carton should contain.
