GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF AIR COMPRESSOR 

The air compressor pump works with the up and down of a piston in the cylinder. During the 
down-stroke, ambient air is drawn in through the inlet valve, while the discharge valve remains 
closed. On the up-stroke of the piston, the air is forced into the compressor tank through the 
discharge valve and the check valve. Through this controlled action, air is forced into the tank 
to a preset pressure. The pressure switch regulates the pressure and controls the   
stop/start of the motor. Working air is not available until the pressure in the air tank is built up.   
The air inlet filter openings must be kept clear of obstructions. 

 

All tools require specific air pressure to operate properly. Consult your air tool manual for those 
requirements and safety instructions. There are a variety of air tools available that will operate 
efficiently with this air compressor. For best results, always compare the air tool requirements to 
your compressor output specifications. A tool that requires a lot of continuous air, such as a 
sander, will not operate effectively with a small tank compressor. A tool that requires little air, 
such as a brad nail gun, will operate with a small tank compressor very effectively. Learn your 
air tool power requirements, match your air tools to your compressor correctly and this 
compressor will perform effectively.

ON RECEIPT INSPECTION 

  

  Each air compressor outfit is carefully tested and inspected before shipment. Every attempt is 

made to ensure safe and complete shipment of our products. Please inform the dealers if any 
deficiency was found.

GENERAL REQUIREMENT 

Please ensure air compressor is installed correctly. Maintain and service on a regular basis. 
Information included in this booklet describing the maintenance schedules and 
trouble-shooting.      It is important that you read this information and keep it for future 
reference.

INSTALLATION 

5.1

MECHANICAL 

Use the compressor in a clean, dry and well-ventilated area. The compressor should be 
located 300mm from a wall or any other obstruction that would interfere with the air flow. 
Place the air compressor on a firm and level surface. The air compressor is designed with 
heat dissipation fins that allow for proper cooling. Keep the fins and other parts clean. A 
clean compressor runs cooler and provides longer service. Allow room for easy access to 
the air compressor for maintenance and service work. 

 

5.1-1

For vertical type permanent installation, the compressor should be bolted to the floor 
through holes provided in the compressor feet. Shims must be used to level the 
compressor before bolting it to the floor. Severe vibration will result when the compressor 
is bolted down tightly and the feet are not level. This can lead to welds cracking or fatigue 
of the air receiver.
