- Ensure all connections are secure before operating. Leaks can cause rapid pressure loss and potential hazards.
- Never exceed the maximum rated pressure of the compressor (4500 PSI / 30 MPa) or the tank being filled.
- This compressor does not feature an auto-stop function. Monitor the pressure gauge closely and manually turn off the unit when the target pressure is reached.
- Allow the compressor to cool down for at least 10 minutes after 45 minutes of continuous operation to prevent overheating.
- Keep children and unauthorized personnel away from the operating compressor.
- Always wear appropriate eye protection when operating or maintaining the compressor.
- Disconnect power before performing any maintenance or adjustments.
- Do not modify the compressor or its components. Use only original replacement parts.

5. Setup
Before operating the compressor, ensure it is placed on a stable, flat surface in a well-ventilated area.
5.1 Component Identification
Familiarize yourself with the compressor's components.
- Handle: For carrying the unit.
- Pressure Gauge: Displays current air pressure.
- Overpressure Protection Valve: Releases pressure if it exceeds safe limits.
- High-power Cooling Fan: Automatically cools the unit during operation.
- Bleed Valve: Used to release residual pressure from the hose after filling.
- Air Compressor Switch: Powers the unit ON/OFF.
5.2 Power Connection
The AC-2 compressor supports both AC and DC power sources.
The compressor can be powered by household AC or vehicle DC.
- AC Power (Household): Connect the AC power adapter to the compressor's power input. Then, plug the 3-prong AC power cord into the adapter and a standard 110V/220V AC outlet.
- DC Power (Vehicle): Connect the 12V DC battery clamp cable to the compressor's power input. Attach the red clamp to the positive (+) terminal of a 12V vehicle battery and the black clamp to the negative (-) terminal. Ensure a secure connection.
5.3 Hose Connection
- Connect the high-pressure fill hose to the compressor's output port.
- Attach the other end of the fill hose to the fill port of your PCP airgun, HPA paintball tank, or small scuba tank. Ensure all connections are tight to prevent air leaks.
- If testing the compressor without a tank, use the included test plug to seal the fill hose.
6. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for safe and effective operation:
- Preparation: Ensure the compressor is properly set up and connected to a power source and the tank to be filled. Confirm the bleed valve (5) is fully closed.
- Start Compressor: Flip the Air Compressor Switch (6) to the 'ON' position. The cooling fan will start, and the compressor will begin to build pressure.
- Monitor Pressure: Continuously monitor the Pressure Gauge (2). Since this model does not have an auto-stop feature, it is crucial to manually turn off the compressor once your desired pressure is reached.
- Stop Compressor: Once the target pressure is achieved, immediately flip the Air Compressor Switch (6) to the 'OFF' position.
- Bleed Pressure: Slowly open the Bleed Valve (5) to release the residual air pressure from the fill hose. You will hear air escaping. Wait until the pressure gauge reads zero.
- Disconnect: Once all pressure is released from the hose, disconnect the fill hose from your tank and then from the compressor.
- Cool Down: If the compressor has run for 45 minutes, allow it to rest for at least 10 minutes before the next operation cycle.
Always monitor the pressure gauge and use the bleed valve after filling.
7. Maintenance
The GOYOJO AC-2 is an oil-free compressor, simplifying maintenance. Regular checks ensure longevity and performance.
- Filter Replacement: Periodically inspect and replace the air filter as needed, especially if operating in dusty environments. A filter replacement kit is included.
- Cleanliness: Keep the compressor clean and free of dust and debris. Ensure the cooling fan vents are unobstructed.
- Seal Inspection: Regularly check all seals and O-rings for wear or damage. Replace any worn seals using the assorted seal kit.
- Storage: Store the compressor in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
8. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your GOYOJO AC-2 compressor, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Compressor does not start | No power supply; Loose power connection; Power switch off | Check power source and connections; Ensure power switch is ON. |
| No pressure build-up | Bleed valve open; Leaks in hose connections; Damaged seals | Close bleed valve; Tighten all connections; Inspect and replace seals. |
| Compressor overheats | Continuous operation for too long; Obstructed cooling vents; High ambient temperature | Allow unit to cool down (10 min rest after 45 min operation); Clear any obstructions from vents; Operate in a cooler environment. |
| Air leaks from connections | Loose connections; Worn O-rings | Tighten connections; Replace O-rings as needed. |
If the problem persists after attempting these solutions, contact customer support.
