used (C, fig 5) it must be attached to the metal screw
of the receptacle.
The use of an adaptor plug is illegal
in some areas, including Canada.
Check your local codes. If you have any doubts
or if the supplied plug does not correspond to
your electrical outlet, consult a qualified
electrician before proceeding.
Connect to power source
Consult a qualified electrician for proper installation
of receptacle at the source of power. This tool must
be grounded while in use to protect the operator from
electrical shock. If you are not sure if your outlet is
properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified
electrician. Make sure the tool is turned OFF when
connecting the power cord to a properly grounded
120 Volts, 60 Hz, single phase, 15 amp power
source.
Getting Started
Unpack your compressor.
Before operating your tool, check the contents of the
box to make sure you have everything you will need.
Items included in the box:
●
Air Compressor
●
Air Filter
●
Owner’s Manual
Save packaging in case you need to
return the compressor for servicing or
repair.
Assembly
Before performing any assembly or
maintenance, make sure compressor
is turned off and unplugged from the power
supply.
Place compressor on level ground. It is designed to
function properly at an incline of no greater than 15
degrees.
Installing the air filter
The air filter should be installed into the top left side
of motor head (looking from the front to the back of
the air compressor like in position 7, fig 2, above).
1.
Thread the air filter into motor head port located
under the plastic shroud.
2.
Carefully screw the air filter (fig 2.7) into the
cylinder head by turning the air filter clockwise,
hand tight.
DO NOT over-tighten the air filter.
3.
Be sure the short length of flexible hose is
inserted into the hole in the air filter housing. This
increases the noise-reduction capabilities of your
compressor.
Operation
Before operating your new air compressor:
●
Inspect for damage before using the air
compressor, make sure the air tank is not
damaged, inspect all parts for damage, and

NOTICE
check that all pipes and hoses are firmly
connected.
●
Do not use the air compressor if any damage is
found. If damaged, have an authorized service
center inspect and test the air compressor to
ensure that is working properly.
●
Pull the ring on the safety valve before each use
to make sure the valve is functional.
●
Depending on the CFM draw of the tools being
operated, your new air compressor can be used
for operating paint sprayers, air tools, grease
guns, airbrushes, caulking guns, abrasive
blasters, tire & plastic toy inflation, spraying
weed killer and insecticides, etc. Proper
adjustment of the air pressure regulator is
necessary for all of these operations. Refer to
the air pressure specifications provided with the
tool you are using.
General Overview
Installation and Location
Locate the compressor in a clean, dry and well
ventilated area. The compressor should be located
12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm) from walls or any
other obstruction which would interfere with airflow.
Compressor should be located in a temperature-
controlled area between 32° and 95° fahrenheit
(0 ° and 35 °C). Place the compressor on a firm,
level surface. The compressor is designed with heat
dissipation fins which allow for proper cooling. Keep
the fins (and all other parts which collect dust or dirt)
clean. A clean compressor runs cooler and provides
longer service. Do not place rags, containers or other
material on top of the compressor.
Connecting to Power Source
This air compressor is designed to operate on a
properly grounded 120 volt, 60 Hz, single phase,
alternating current (AC) power source with a fused
20 amp time-delayed fuse or circuit breaker. It is
recommended that a qualified electrician verify the
ACTUAL VOLTAGE at the receptacle into which the
unit will be plugged and confirm that the receptacle is
properly fused and grounded. The use of the proper
circuit size can eliminate nuisance circuit breaker
tripping while operating your air compressor.
Extension Cords
●
For optimum air compressor performance an
extension cord should not be used unless
absolutely necessary.
●
If you must choose between an electrical
extension cord and a longer air hose, choose
the latter. It is far better for the life of the
compressor. If necessary, care must be taken in
selecting an extension cord appropriate for use
with your specific air compressor.
●
Use a heavy-gauge extension, since very thin
or very long cord may cause voltage drop
and result in loss of power in the compressor
and overheating. Select a properly grounded
extension cord which will mate directly with
the power source receptacle and the air
compressor power cord without the use of
adapters. Make certain that the extension
