• Maintain tools with care. Keep tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges, are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Power Source Connection

Power Requirements

This tool is designed to operate on a properly grounded 120 volt, 60 Hz, single phase alternating current (AC) power source fused with a 15 amp time delayed circuit breaker. It is recommended that a qualified electrician verify the ACTUAL VOLTAGE at the receptacle into which the tool will be plugged and confirm that the receptacle is properly grounded. The use of the proper circuit size can eliminate nuisance circuit breaker tripping when using your tool. Improper performance, and/or, damage to the tool will result if operated on inadequate, or excessive power.

Grounding

• This machine must be grounded while in use to protect the operator from electrical shock. This compressor is equipped with an electrical cord that has an equipment grounding conductor and a grounding plug. The plug MUST be plugged into a matching receptacle that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with ALL local codes and ordinances.
• DO NOT MODIFY THE PROVIDED PLUG. If it will not fit the receptacle, have the proper receptacle installed by a qualified electrician.
• CHECK with a qualified electrician or service person if you do not completely understand the grounding instructions, or if you are not sure the tool is properly grounded.

Grounded Tools: Tools with 3-Prong Plugs

Tools marked with "Grounding Required" have a 3-wire cord and 3-prong grounding plug. The plug must be connected to a properly grounded outlet. If the tool should electrically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the user, reducing the risk of electric shock. The grounding prong in the plug is connected through the green wire inside the cord to the grounding system in the tool. The green wire in the cord must be the only wire connected to the tool's grounding system and must never be attached to an electrically live terminal. Your tool must be plugged into an appropriate outlet, properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. The plug and outlet should look like those with a standard 3-prong configuration (one round ground pin, two flat power pins).

Extension Cords

• For optimum air compressor performance an extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary.
• USE A PROPER EXTENSION CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and cause overheating.
• Be sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified person before using it. Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat and damp or wet areas.
• Grounded tools require a 3-wire extension cord.
• As the distance from the supply outlet increases, you must use a heavier gauge extension cord. Using extension cords with inadequately sized wire causes a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and possible tool damage.
• If you must choose between an electrical extension cord and a longer air hose, choose the latter. It is far better for the life of the compressor. If necessary, care must be taken in selecting an extension cord appropriate for use with your specific air compressor.
• The smaller the wire's gauge number, the greater the capacity of the cord. For example, a 14-gauge cord can carry a higher current than a 16 gauge cord. Minimum extension cord wire size is shown in the following table:

Minimum Wire Size of Extension Cords

• Maximum length of extension cord for this compressor should be 50 feet (15 meters). Minimum wire size of extension cord should be 12 gauge.
• Use a heavy-gauge extension, since very thin or very long cord may cause voltage drop and result in loss of power in the compressor and overheating. Select a properly grounded extension cord which will mate direct with the power source receptacle and the air compressor power cord without the use of adapters. Make certain that the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.
• When using more than one extension cord to make up the total length, make sure each cord contains at least the minimum wire size required.
• If you are using one extension cord for more than one tool, add the nameplate amperes and use the sum to determine the required minimum cord size.
• If you are using an extension cord outdoors, make sure it is marked with the suffix W-A (W in Canada) to indicate it is acceptable for outdoor use.
• Make sure your extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord or have it repaired by a qualified electrician before using it.
• Protect your extension cords from sharp objects, excessive heat, and damp or wet areas.

Main Parts Description

The air compressor consists of several key components:

Visual description of the main parts: The air compressor is a vertical tank unit with two wheels at the base (M) and a rubber foot (N) for stability. A handle (K) is attached at the top for portability. On the top section of the tank, there's the main compressor unit. Visible components include the Power Switch (A), Tool Pressure Gauge (B), Tank Pressure Gauge (C), Tank Safety Valve (D), Regulator (E), Air Intake Filter (G), Check Valve (H), Quick Connect (I), and Outlet Tube (J). The Tank Drain Valve (F) is located at the very bottom of the tank.

Further Functional Information

TANK SAFETY VALVE

The safety valve automatically relieves pressure from the air tank in the event of excessive pressure build up. It is preset at the factory. Do not attempt to make any adjustments to the safety valve. Periodically pull the ring on the safety valve end to check that it is working properly.

PRESSURE

Controlled by the red-tipped power switch which turns the air compressor on and off. When the switch is pulled up to the "Auto / On" position, the pressure switch is engaged and will start the compressor pump automatically when tank pressure is below the factory-set minimum. The pressure switch continues to monitor the pressure and turns the pump off when the pressure reaches the factory-set maximum. Compressor is turned on when pushed down, the pump is off.

TANK DRAIN VALVE

(located on bottom of tank) - The tank drain valve can be opened to allow moisture and compressed air to be released from the air tank.

Getting Started

1. Unpack the air compressor.
2. Inspect the unit for damage. If the unit has been damaged in transit, contact the carrier and complete a damage claim immediately due to time limitations.
3. Check the compressor's serial label to ensure you have received the model ordered, and that it has the required pressure rating for its intended use.
4. Before operating your tool, check the contents of the box to make sure you have everything you will need. Items included: Air Compressor, Handle and bolts, 2 Wheels, washers and nuts, Owner's Manual.

Assembly

Place compressor on level ground. It is designed to function properly at an incline of no greater than 15 degrees.

Pre-Operation

Before operating your air compressor:

• Inspect for damage before using the air compressor; make sure the air tank is not damaged, inspect all parts for damage and check that all pipes and hoses are firmly connected.
• Do not use the air compressor if any damage is found. If damaged, have an authorized service center inspect and test the air compressor to ensure that is working properly.
• Pull the ring on the safety valve before each use to make sure the valve is functional.
• Depending on the CFM draw of the tools being operated, your new air compressor can be used for operating paint sprayers, air tools, grease guns, airbrushes, caulking guns, abrasive blasters, tire & plastic toy inflation, spraying weed killer and insecticides, etc. Proper adjustment of the air pressure regulator is necessary for all of these operations. Refer to the air pressure specifications provided with the tool you are using.

General Overview

Installation and Location

Locate the compressor according to the following guidelines:

1. Position the compressor near a grounded electrical outlet.
2. The compressor must be at least 12 to 18 inches (31 - 45 cm) from any wall or obstruction which would interfere with airflow, in a clean, well-ventilated area, to ensure sufficient air flow and cooling.
3. In cold climates, store portable compressors in a heated building when not in use; a temperature-controlled area between 32° and 95° Fahrenheit (0° and 35 °C). This will reduce problems with the motor starting and freezing from water condensation.
4. Remove the compressor from the carton and place it on the floor or a hard, level surface. The compressor must be level to ensure proper drainage of the moisture in the tank.
5. The compressor is designed with heat dissipation fins which allow for proper cooling. Keep the fins (and all other parts which collect dust or dirt) clean. A clean compressor runs cooler and provides longer service. Do not place rags, containers or other material on top of the compressor. The air filter intake should be free of any debris or obstructions. Check the air filter on a daily basis to make sure it is clean and in working order.

Before Each Use

• Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose in hand when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
• Risk of unsafe operation. Do not use damaged or worn accessories.
• Risk of bursting. Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer's maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.

DUTY CYCLE: This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously. To prolong the life of your air compressor, it is recommended that a 50%-75% average duty cycle be maintained; that is, the air compressor pump should not run more than 30-45 minutes in any given hour.

2. Ensure that the power supply you are going to use is operating normally.
3. Insert the power supply cord into the power supply socket.
4. Turn the pressure switch on, pulling the red button up to the ON position.
5. On the tank pressure gauge, watch pressure build in the tank until the pump stops at the factory-set pressure, about 115 to 125 psi.
6. This first time running your compressor and periodically thereafter, check for air leaks. If the gauge indicates pressure is going down in the tank or you hear leakage, apply soapy water to all joints in the air transport piping. Tighten these joints if bubbles form.

Visual description of pressure switch: A close-up view shows the red pressure switch button on top of the compressor unit. It has "ON" and "OFF" markings, indicating its function to control the compressor's operation.

Adjusting the air pressure

Your air compressor is supplied with an air pressure regulator. This regulator adjusts the air pressure supplied to the tools through the hose.

• To increase air pressure, turn air regulator knob clockwise.
• To decrease air pressure, turn air regulator knob counterclockwise.
• Use the outlet pressure gauge to see the resulting pressure.

Visual description of regulator and gauges: A close-up view shows the regulator knob (E) and the outlet pressure gauge (B) on the compressor. The regulator knob is typically large and rotatable, allowing for easy adjustment of the output air pressure, which is then displayed on the gauge.

Shutting off your compressor

1. Push the red pressure switch button down to the OFF position.
2. Unplug the compressor from the electrical power.
3. If not draining the tank, reduce tank pressure through the air hose.
4. Drain the tank by slowly opening the drain valve. Place a catch basin under the valve to protect the surface from water damage.

Cold Weather Starting

Temperatures below freezing (32 °F / 0 °C) cause the metal parts of your air compressor to contract and that makes starting more difficult. To assist the air compressor in starting in cold weather, follow these tips:

1. Try to keep the air compressor stored in temperatures above 32 °F (0 °C).
2. Open the air tank drain valve and release all air pressure from the air tank before attempting to start in cold weather. (After air is released from air tank, close drain valve.)
3. Pull the ring on the safety valve before each use to make sure the valve is functional.
4. Plug the air compressor directly into a 120 volt electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord when starting your air compressor in cold weather.

After Each Use

• Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose in hand when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
• Risk of bursting. Drain air tank daily. Water will condense in air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.

Daily shut-down

1. Set the Power Switch to the OFF (0) position.
2. Unplug the power cord from the receptacle.
3. Set the outlet pressure to zero on the regulator.
4. Remove any air tools or accessories.
5. Open the drain valve allowing air to bleed from the tank. After all of the air has bled from the tank, close the drain valve to prevent debris build-up in the valve.

Maintenance

• Risk of unsafe operation. Unit cycles automatically when power is on. When performing maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air, or moving parts. Personal injuries can occur. Before performing any maintenance or repair, disconnect power source from the compressor and bleed off all air pressure.
• Risk of bursting. If the safety valve does not work properly, over-pressurization may occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion.
• Risk of burn. Tubes, pump head, and surrounding parts are very hot; do not touch these. Allow compressor to cool prior to servicing.
• Risk from flying objects. Always wear certified safety equipment: ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3 with side shields).
• Risk from noise. Use ear protection ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) as air flow noise is loud when draining.
• Risk of bursting. Water will condense in the air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.
• This compressor is equipped with an automatic reset thermal overload protector which will shut off the motor if it becomes overheated. If the thermal overload protector is actuated, the motor must be allowed to cool down before start-up is possible. NOTE: To reset the motor overload, turn the power switch to the OFF position and unplug the unit from the power outlet. Allow 10 minutes (minimum) for motor overload cut-out to cool and reset. Unit can then be plugged in and re-started.

Checking the Safety Valve

Check the safety valve by performing these three steps:

1. Plug the compressor in and run until shut-off pressure is reached.
2. Wearing safety glasses and hearing protection, pull out on the safety valve ring to release pressure from the tank.
3. The safety valve should close automatically at approximately 40-50 psi. If the safety valve does not allow air to be released when you pull out on the ring, or does not close automatically, it must be replaced.

Visual description of safety valve: A close-up view shows the safety valve, typically a brass component with a pull-ring, located on the air tank. It is designed to release pressure when pulled, and automatically close at a certain pressure threshold.
