Operating Instructions and Parts List
Maintenance
Disconnect, tag and lock out
power source, then release
all pressure from the system
before attempting to install, service,
relocate or perform any maintenance.
Check compressor often for any visible
problems and follow maintenance
procedures each time compressor is
used.
Safety valve must
be replaced if it
cannot be actuated or it leaks air after
ring is released.
1. Turn compressor off and release
pressure from system. (To release
pressure from system, pull ring
on ASME safety valve. Deflect
escaping air by shielding valve with
one hand as you pull ring with
other hand.) Pull ring until tank is
empty.
A large amount of
fast moving air
will be released when the safety valve
is opened with pressure in the tank.
Wear ANSI approved Z87.1 safety
glasses.
2. Drain moisture from tank by
opening drain valve underneath
tank. Tilt tank to remove all
moisture.
3. Clean dust and dirt from tank,
air lines and pump cover while
compressor is still OFF.
ASME SAFETY VALVE
Do not remove or
attempt to adjust
the safety valve!
Check the safety valve by performing
the following steps:
1. Plug the compressor in and run
until shut off pressure is reached.
2. Wearing safety glasses, pull the
ring on the safety valve to release
pressure from compressor tank.
Use your other hand to defl ect
fast-moving air from being
directed toward your face.
3. The safety valve should
automatically close at
approximately 40 psi - 50 psi. If
the safety valve does not allow
air to be released when you pull
on the ring, or if it does not close
automatically, it MUST be replaced.
DRAIN TANK
With compressor shut off and pressure
released, drain moisture from tank by
opening drain valve underneath tank.
LUBRICATION.
This is an oilless type compressor
requiring no lubrication.
CLEANING
Turn power OFF and clean dust and
dirt from pump cover, tank, and air
lines.

OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
This
compressor
is equipped with
a thermal overload protector which
will shut off motor if it becomes
overloaded.
If overload protector shuts motor OFF
frequently, look for the following
causes.
1. Low
voltage.
2. Lack of proper ventilation.
If the overload
protector is
actuated, the motor must be allowed
to cool down for 30 minutes before
manual resetting.
END OF OPERATION/STORAGE
1. Turn ON / OFF switch to the OFF
position.
2. Unplug power cord from wall
outlet and wrap around handle
area to prevent damage when not
in use.
3. Wearing safety glasses drain tank
of air by pulling the ring on the
safety valve. Use other hand to
defl ect fast moving air from being
directed toward your face.
4. Drain tank of condensation by
opening drain valve on bottom
of tank. Tank pressure should be
below 10 psi when draining tank.
5. Air hose should be disconnected
from compressor and hung open
ends down to allow any moisture
to drain.
6. Compressor and hose should be
stored in a cool, dry place.

MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR
Moisture in compressed air will
form into droplets as it comes
from an air compressor pump.
When humidity is high or when
a compressor is in continuous use
for an extended period of time,
this moisture will collect in the
tank. When using a paint spray or
sandblast gun, this water will be
carried from the tank through the
hose, and out of the gun as droplets
mixed with the spray material.
IMPORTANT:
This condensation
will cause water spots in a paint
job, especially when spraying
other than water based paints. If
sandblasting, it will cause the sand
to cake and clog the gun, rendering
it ineffective.
A fi lter in the air line, located as
near to the gun as possible, will
help eliminate this moisture.
