Introduction

Refer to Figure 5 to locate the following 
items.

pressure Switch -

 Auto/Off Switch - In

" position, the compressor 

shuts off automatically when tank 
pressure reaches the maximum preset 
pressure. In the "

OFF

" position, the 

compressor will not operate. This switch 
should be in the "

OFF

" position when 

connecting or disconnecting the power 
cord from the electrical outlet.

regulator -

 The regulator controls 

the amount of air pressure at the hose 
outlet.

aSMe Safety valve -

 This valve 

automatically releases air if the tank 
pressure exceeds the preset maximum.

exhaust tube -

 This tube carries 

compressed air from the pump to the 
check valve. This tube becomes very hot 
during use. To avoid the risk of severe 
burns, never touch the discharge tube.

Check valve -

 One-way valve that 

allows air to enter the tank, but 
prevents air in the tank from flowing 
back into the compressor pump.

Handle -

 Designed to move the 

compressor.

 

Never use the  

  handle on wheeled 

units to lift the unit completely off the 
ground.

Drain valve -

 This valve is located on 

the bottom of the tank. Use this valve 
to drain moisture from the tank daily to 
reduce the risk of corrosion.

pressure Gauges

 - These gauges will 

show air pressure in the compressor 
tank and at the compressor outlet.

Outlet pressure Gauge

 - Will show 

air pressure at the outlet in pounds per 
square inch (psi). Make sure this gauge 
reads ZERO (by adjusting regulator 
knob fully counterclockwise) before 
changing air tools or disconnecting air 
hose from outlet.

tank pressure Gauge

 - Will show air 

pressure in tank while the compressor 
is running, indicating compressor 
is building pressure properly. This 
gauge will show maximum pressure 
of compressor when it shuts off 
automatically at the pressure switch.

Motor reset

 - (not shown, located 

inside motor). Designed to keep the 
motor from overheating. The motor has 
an auto reset protector. To reset once 
the motor has cooled, turn the pressuer 
switch to the OFF position, then to the 
AUTO position.

 

This compressor is  

  equipped with an 

overload protector which will shut off 
motor if it becomes overloaded.
 

If the overload  

  protector is 

actuated, the motor must be allowed 
to cool down for approximately 30 
minutes before it will reset.

Installation

LOCatIOn

It is extremely important to install the 
compressor in a clean, dry, and well 
ventilated area. The compressor must 
be placed on a firm, level surface 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.

eLeCtrICaL InStaLLatIOn 

 

All wiring   

  and 

electrical connections should 
be performed by a qualified 
electrician. Installation must 
be in accordance with local codes and 
national electrical codes.

WIrInG

1.  Local electrical wiring codes 

differ from area to area. Source 
wiring, plug and protector must 
be rated for at least the amperage 
and voltage indicated on motor 
nameplate, and meet all electrical 
codes for this minimum.

2.  Use a slow blow fuse or a circuit 

breaker.

3.  This product is for use on a nominal 

120 volt circuit and has a grounding 
plug that looks like the plug 
illustrated in Figure 7. Make sure the 
product is connected to an outlet 
having the same configuration 
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.

 

Overheating, short  

  circuiting and fire 

damage will result from inadequate 
wiring.

Use of an extension cord may cause excess 
heat to motor. This could lead to tripped 
breaker (at electrical panel) or tripped 
thermal overload (on compressor motor). 
If this occurs, eliminate extension cord and 
plug compressor directly into electrical 
outlet. Avoid using extension cords; use 
longer air hose(s) instead.
