LUBRICATION
THIS UNIT CONTAINS NO OIL WHEN SHIPPED .
FILL WITH OIL BEFORE OPERATING COMPRESSOR.
Fill to the center of the sight gauge as shown in the image
below.
Some residual oil may still be in the pump, leaving a thin
coat on the sight glass. However, this is not enough oil to
operate the unit. Fill pump with single-viscosity, ISO100,
non-detergent, compressor oil.
AFTER the first 300 hours, add oil only through the oil fill
plug. Pouring oil into any other orifice will cause oil to leak
and spray out during operation. Fill to the center of the sight
gauge, as shown in the picture below.
IMPORTANT: Change oil after first 8 hours of operation.
Using any other type of oil may shorten pump life and
damage components.
PRESSURE SWITCH, START - STOP
NOTE: This compressor has a maximum
pressure of 175 psi. Do not alter pressure settings on
control components above this limit.
The compressor unit starts and stops based on preset
pressure switch settings.
ON/AUTO-OFF SWITCH LEVER
Turn this switch ON to provide automatic power to the
pressure switch and OFF to remove power.
PRESSURE SWITCH
The pressure switch automatically starts the motor when the air
tank pressure drops below the factory set “cut-in” pressure of
140 psi. It stops the motor when the air tank pressure reaches
the factory set “cutout” pressure of 175 psi.
DO NOT ADJUST THESE SETTINGS. DOING SO WILL
DAMAGE MOTOR AND VOID WARRANTY.
AIR TANK SAFETY VALVE
If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor
at its cut-out pressure setting, the safety valve will protect
against high pressure by “popping off” at its factory set
pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch cut-out
setting).
AIR TANK PRESSURE GAUGE
The air tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air
pressure in the air tank.
The ASME safety valve should also be checked daily. Pull
ring on safety valve and allow the ring to snap back to
normal position. This valve automatically releases air if the
tank pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
Do not attempt to tamper or disable the ASME safety valve.
If air leaks after the ring has been released, or the valve
is stuck and cannot be actuated by the ring, the ASME
safety valve must be replaced. If the safety valve does not
work properly, over-pressurization may occur causing air
tank rupture or explosion. Occasionally pull the ring on the
safety valve to make sure that the safety valve operates
freely. If the valve is stuck or does not operate smoothly,
it must be replaced with a valve having the same pressure
rating.
