2. If repair or replacement of cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect
grounding wire to either flat 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 qualified 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 fit outlet,
have proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
Overheating, short circuiting and fire
damage will result from inadequate
wiring, etc.
Operation
Definition of Terms
ON / OFF Switch ( I / O )
- Push switch
to the ON (
I
) position to turn
compressor on. Push switch to the OFF
(
O
) position to turn compressor off.
This switch should be in the OFF (
O
)
position when connecting /
disconnecting power cord from
electrical outlet or when changing tools.
Pressure Switch (located internally)
-
When the compressor is turned ON,
this switch will shut compressor off
automatically when tank pressure
reaches maximum shut-off / cut-out
pressure. If compressor remains on and
air is depleted from tank, this switch
will allow compressor to automatically
restart at the restart / cut-in pressure.
Regulator
- The regulator controls the
amount of air pressure released at the
hose outlet. Turning the regulator knob
clockwise (to the right) will increase air
pressure at the outlet. Turning the knob
counter-clockwise (to the left) will
lower air pressure to the outlet. Turning
knob fully counter-clockwise will shut
off flow of air completely.
Pressure Gauges
- There are two
gauges located next to the regulator.
These gauges read air pressure in
pounds per square inch (psi) The larger
gauge shows pressure at the outlet.
Make sure this gauge reads ZERO (by
adjusting the regulator) BEFORE
changing air tools or disconnecting hose
from outlet. The small gauge shows
pressure in the tank indicating
compressor is building pressure properly.
ASME Safety Valve
- This valve
automatically releases air if the tank
pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
Handle
- Designed to move the
compressor.
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.
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
switch to the OFF position, then to the
ON 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.
LUBRICATION
This is an oilless product and
DOES
NOT
require lubrication to operate.
BEFORE FIRST STARTUP
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 flow.
2. Do not attach a hose or any other
fitting to the compressor.
3. Turn on/off switch to OFF position.
4. Plug in power cord.
5. Turn on/off switch to ON position.
Allow compressor to run for 5
minutes.
6. Turn on/off switch to OFF position.
