COMPRESSOR OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT:
The compressor has a maximum working pressure of 120 PSI and is capable of
9% duty cycle. It is designed for use with air horns, air bags and other accessories that utilize the
compressed air stored in the tank. Always operate the compressor at or below the MAXIMUM
PRESSURE RATING of the compressor. Operation exceeding maximum pressure ratings and or
duty cycle will result in damage to air compressor.
1.
Your air compressor is equipped with an AUTOMATIC THERMAL OVERLOAD
PROTECTOR. This feature is designed to protect the air compressor from overheating and
causing permanent damage to your air compressor. The thermal overload protector will
automatically cut off power to your air compressor should the internal operating temperature
of the air compressor rise above safe levels during excessive use.
2.
Should your air compressor automatically shut off while in use; do not attempt to restart the
air compressor. Turn power switch to the air compressor to the OFF position. The automatic
thermal overload protector will automatically reset when internal temperature of the air
compressor drops below safe level. After allowing air compressor to cool off for about 30
minutes, you can safely resume use of the air compressor by turning on the air compressor.
3.
To prevent discharge of your vehicle’s battery and to provide peak performance, we strongly
recommend that you keep the vehicle’s engine running while using the air compressor.
4.
ONLY OPERATE THE AIR COMPRESSOR IN WELL-VENTILATED AREAS.
Compressor Maintenance & Repairs
1.
Periodically check all electrical and fitting connections. Clean and tighten as needed.
2.
Periodically check all mounting screws. Tighten as needed.
3.
Replace air filter element periodically. Replacement frequency depends on operating
frequency and operating environment. For frequent use in dusty environment, you should
replace air filter element more often.
4.
Regularly clean dust and dirt from compressor.
5.
Your air compressor is equipped with permanently lubricated, maintenance free motor.
Never lubricate compressor.
6.
Repairs should be performed by Manufacturer or Manufacturer’s Authorized Service
Agencies only.
CAUTION:
Never touch the air compressor or fittings connected to the air compressor with bare
hands during or immediately after use. Leader hose and fittings will become very HOT during
and after use.
