Wear approved hearing protection while operating this machine to minimize this risk! When determining where to set up the air compressor in the shop or when taking the air compressor to a job site, the most important consideration is access to an adequate and properly fused power supply. Refer to Circuit Requirements for the needs of your particular compressor. Also, make sure the compressor is not operating in an environment where there are explosives, flammable or caustic fumes or gases. A clear and well ventilated area is best for safe operation. Place the compressor on a solid and level surface. Make sure that the hoses you attach to your pneumatic device will be unrestricted in movement and not subject to being run over by vehicles or punctured by any sharp objects in the area. Since air compressors are often used for a sustained period of time, sometimes in restricted areas, it is also best to wear ear protection to avoid long term exposure to the sound of the electric motor and piston. Do not place the compressor next to any flammable liquids or gas! The compressor cylinder head and feed pipe can reach high temperatures and could cause the flammable gas to ignite. Keep work area clear from flammable gas when using the com- pressor. Model H4517/H4518 Air Compressors -5 CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS 110V Operation The Model H4517/H4518 Air Compressor is wired for 110V, single-phase operation only. The maximum amperage draw for the machine is 17 amps, with a fusing level rating of 20 amps. It is best to operate a compressor on a dedicated circuit, i.e. a circuit where there are no other electrical appliances plugged in. The fuse requirements above assume the use of a circuit breaker or a slow-blow fuse. If an unusual load does not exist and the compressor still breaks the circuit, contact a qualified electrician or our service department at (570) 546-9663. Extension Cords If you find it necessary to use an extension cord with your compressor, make sure the cord is rated Standard Service (grade S) or better. Refer to the chart in the standard safety instructions to determine the minimum gauge for the extension cord. The extension cord must also contain a ground wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace extension cords when they become worn or damaged. Overheating, short circuit, and fire damage may result from inadequate wiring. Follow the guidelines in this section. Grounding In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path of least resistance to disperse electric current. These machines are equipped with power cords having an equipment-grounding conductor. See Figure 1. The outlet must be properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Figure 1. Ground plug configuration. Potential for electrical shock hazard, this equipment must be grounded. Verify that any existing electrical outlet and circuit you use is actually grounded. -6-Model H4517/H4518 Air Compressors PREPARING FOR USE Before using your Grizzly Air Compressor, follow these steps: 1. Remove all packing materials and any protective plastic bags, zip tie labels or tags from the compressor. 2. Be sure the air filter is attached to the cylinder head as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2. Air filter attached to cylinder hear. 3. ADD OIL TO THE CRANKCASE. Oil has been supplied with your air compressor. Remove the oil breather on top of the crankcase and add oil into the hole. The oil level should be in the center of the sight gauge shown in Figure 3. Figure 3. Proper oil level. 4.Make sure the drain valve on the air tank is closed. Model H4517/H4518 Air Compressors NOTICE The machine should never be run without a full oil reservoir. The oil provides lubrication to the cylinder rings which deliver the compressed air. Severe damage to the internal moving parts can occur if there is not adequate oil flow. Check the oil level frequently, and change the oil every 3 months. 5. Know and understand the duty cycle of the compressor before operating. Duty Cycle The Model H4517/H4518 Air Compressor should NOT be operated on more than a 50% duty cycle. (This means an air compressor that pumps air for over 30 minutes in one hour is considered misuse. Also, this could mean that the air compressor is undersized for the required air demand.) Note—The maximum compressor pump time per hour is 30 minutes. Overheating, short circuit and fire damage will result from operating beyond the recommended duty cycle. Severe injury and property damage could occur. -7 STARTING To start the air compressor: 1. Make sure the compressor switch is in the OFF position (lever with red cap above pressure gauges shown in Figure 4) before connecting to the power supply. Figure 4. 2. Close the drain valve, shown in Figure 5, so the tank can build up pressure. Figure 5. Drain valve location. 3. Double check the oil level to make sure it is at the proper height. 4. Connect the compressor to the power supply. 5. Flip t...
