COMPRESSOR OPERATION
1.
Before each use, pull and release the Pressure Release
Safety Valve
(Fig 4)
to verify it is not stuck.
2.
Plug the power cord into an appropriate 120 VAC, 60 Hz,
15 Amp minimum, grounded outlet.
3.
Move the Power Switch to the “ON” position
(Fig 2)
.
4.
Allow the Tank pressure to build to 150 PSI [10.3 bar]
before each use. With the Air Compressor turned on,
operation is automatic and under the control of the internal
Pressure Controller. It will turn off @ 150 PSI [10.3 bar] and
automatically restart @ 120 PSI [8.3 bar].
5.
To Increase regulated output pressure, rotate the Regulator Knob Counter-clockwise. To decrease regulated output pressure, rotate the Regulator Knob
Clockwise
(Fig 4)
.
To Tighten:
1.
Loosen four Motor Mount Bolts with two 13mm wrenches
(NOT INCLUDED)
(Fig 14)
.
2.
Push Motor outward to increase belt tension, tighten bolts
then re-check belt deflection.
3.
Re-install Belt Guard. Tighten all fasteners securely.

INJURY HAZARD!
This unit starts
automatically. ALWAYS shut off the compressor,
remove the plug from the outlet, and bleed all pressure
from the tank before servicing the compressor, and
when the compressor is not in use.
The Pressure Gauge located on left side under the “ON/OFF” Pressure Switch indicates actual tank pressure (Fig 4).
The Pressure Gauge located on the right under the Regulator indicates regulated outlet pressure (Fig 4).

slightly
open the water Drain Valve to blow air and moisture out of the Tank.
USING THE PRESSURE RELEASE SAFETY VALVE MANUALLY
In addition to emergency over pressure relief function, the Pressure Release Safety Valve can be used when rapid tank air pressure release is desired. To do so:
1.
Move the Power Switch to the “
OFF
” position and unplug Power Cord.
2.
Pull and hold the Pressure Release Safety Valve ring to release pressure from the Tank
(Fig 4)
.
3.
When all pressure is released, release the ring on the Pressure Release Safety Valve.
CONDENSATION DRAIN
In normal use particularly in humid environments, moisture will condense and collect in the tank. It must be used daily to drain all accumulated moisture. Failure
to do causes internal tank corrosion, perforation and ultimate failure. Tank moisture draining procedure:
1.
Move the Power Switch to the
“OFF”
position
(Fig 2)
and unplug Power Cord.
2.
Pull and hold the Pressure Release Safety Valve ring to release pressure from the Tank until the Tank Pressure Gauge reads less than 20 PSI
(Fig 2)
.
3. Slowly
open the Drain Valve
(Fig 1)
.
4.
Drain moisture from tank into a suitable container.
Opening it all the way or too quickly will cause contaminated water to be blown out at high velocity. Wear appropriate eye protection.
Condensate is a polluting material and should be disposed of in compliance with local regulations.
If drain valve becomes clogged, release all air pressure, remove and clean valve, then reinstall.
MAINTENANCE
(CONTINUED)
ADJUST BELT TENSION
1.
Turn-off the Automatic Switch and unplug the Compressor from the
electrical power source before adjusting belt.
2.
Disconnect Air Line from Compressor Air Outlet.
3.
Remove Outer Belt Guard by first removing the three Socket Head Cap
Screws and Washers along the lower rear of the Outer Guard
(Fig 12)
with a 6mm Hex Key (NOT INCLUDED).
4.
Next, remove the eight Square Retainers
(Fig 13)
by rotating each
90° with a 17mm wrench (NOT INCLUDED).
5.
Check Belt tension by placing a straightedge along the top run of the
Belt then pushing down on the belt in the center of the run between
the large and small pulleys. At proper tension, the belt should deflect
approx. 1/2" [1.3cm].

INJURY HAZARD!
This unit starts automatically.
ALWAYS shut off the compressor, remove the plug from the
outlet, and bleed all pressure from the tank before servicing the
compressor, and when the compressor is not in use.
- Fan Blade can start at any time. To help avoid personal injury,
keep hands clear.
- Do not use the unit with the Cover removed. Severe injury could
occur from contact with moving parts.
BURN HAZARD!
The Pump generates heat
during operation.
- Touching the Pump while running & for a considerable time afterward
will cause burns.
- Use caution when servicing to avoid burns.
