Installation
LOCATION
It is extremely important to use the
compressor in a clean, well ventilated
area where the surrounding air
temperature will not be more than
100°F.
A minimum clearance of 18 inches
between the compressor and a wall is
required because objects could obstruct
air flow.
Do not locate the
compressor air inlet
near steam, paint spray, sandblast areas
or any other source of contamination.
This debris will damage the motor.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. This product is for use on a
nominal 120 volt circuit and has
a grounding plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in Figure 4.
Make sure the product is connected
to an outlet having the same
confi guration as the plug. This
product must be grounded. In
the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces risk of
electrical shock by providing an
escape wire for electric current. This
product is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with an
appropriate grounding plug. Plug
must be plugged into an outlet that
is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.
Improper
use of
grounding plug can result in
a possible risk of electrical
shock!
Do not use a
grounding adapter
with this product!
2. If repair or replacement of cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect
grounding wire to either fl at blade
terminal. The wire with insulation
having an external surface that
is green (with or without yellow
stripes) is the grounding wire.
Never
connect
green (or green and
yellow) wire to a live terminal.
3. Check with a qualifi ed electrician
or serviceman if grounding
instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as
to whether product is properly
grounded. Do not modify plug
provided; if it will not fi t outlet,
have proper outlet installed by a
qualifi ed electrician.
Overheating,
short
circuiting and fi re
damage will result from inadequate
wiring.
LUBRICATION
This is an oilless product and
DOES
NOT
require lubrication to operate.
Pre-Operation
BEFORE FIRST START-UP
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
(Complete this procedure before
using compressor for the first time.
Once completed, it is not necessary to
repeat.)
1. Turn regulator knob fully clockwise
(to the right) to open air fl ow.
2.
Do not
attach a hose or any other
fi tting to the compressor.
3. Turn
ON
/
OFF
switch to
OFF
position.
4. Plug in power cord.
5. Turn
ON
/
OFF
switch to
ON
position
and run compressor for 30 minutes.
6. Turn
ON
/
OFF
switch to
OFF
position.
7. Unplug power cord.
The compressor is now ready for use.
BEFORE EACH START-UP
OPERATING PROCEDURE
1. Turn regulator knob fully
counterclockwise (to the left) to
close air fl ow.
2. Connect air hose to outlet of
regulator.
3. Turn
ON
/
OFF
switch to
OFF
position.
4. Plug in power cord.
5. Turn
ON
/
OFF
switch to
ON
position
and let compressor run until it
reaches automatic shutoff pressure.
6. Attach tire chuck or tool to end of
hose.
7. Turn regulator knob clockwise (to
the right) to desired pressure of
tool being used.
Operation
START-UP
Do not attach air
tools to open end of
the hose until start-up is completed and
the unit checks OK.
ON / OFF CYCLING OF COMPRESSOR
In the
ON
/
AUTO
position, the
compressor pumps air into the tank.
When a shut-off (preset “cut-out”)
pressure is reached, the compressor
automatically shuts off.
If the compressor is left in the
ON
/
AUTO
position and air is depleted
from the tank by use of a tire chuck,
tool, etc., the compressor will restart
automatically at its preset “cut-in”
pressure. When a tool is being used
continuously, the compressor will cycle
on and off automatically.
In the
OFF
position, the pressure switch
cannot function and the compressor
will not operate. Make sure switch
is in
OFF
position when connecting
or disconnecting power cord from
electrical outlet.
PRESSURE GAUGES
Gauge attached to regulator indicates
air pressure going to hose (and any
tool attached to end of hose).
Gauge attached to pressure switch
indicates air pressure in tank.
