AIR COMPRESSOR

Electrical Power 

Electrical Power Requirements 

      

 

Before using the air compressor, refer to the serial label for voltage 
and amperage requirements. Make sure you have a sufficient 
electrical supply for supporting the motor's requirements.  

Use a dedicated circuit for the best results. 

Low voltage and/or an overload circuit can cause the motor's 
overload protection system circuit breaker to trip. 

Electrical Extension Cords

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

Inspect all electrical extension cords to ensure that they are free of 
damage. 

When using an extension cord, use a heavy-duty cord that is no 
more than 25 feet long and at least 14 gauge.Use only a 3-wire 
extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug.

Introduction

 

This air compressor features a compact structure, stable 
performance, a high airflow rate, easy operation and maintenance. 
Because the air compressor produces no oil in the airflow, it can be 
used as an independent air supply machine for situations in which 
oil in the airflow is an issue. The motor directly drives the pistons 
and is able to function without lubrication for a long period of  time.

 

Assembly 

1.

 Connect your air supply hose to a 1/4” male universal or 

industrial quick connect coupler. Connect the male quick 
connect coupler to the female quick connect coupler located on 
the air compressor 

2.

 Make sure the drainage valve is off and that the pressure switch 

is in the OFF position. 

3.

 Ensure that the power supply you are going to use is operating 

normally. 

4.

 Insert the power supply cord into a dedicated 220 volt power 

supply socket.
