Air Compressor Pump: Pump compresses air into tank. Check Valve: When unit is operating, Check Valve is open, allowing air to enter tank.At “cut-out” pressure, Check Valve closes, preventing air from flowing back into pump.Valve is not serviceable by user. Data Tag: (not shown) The data tag contains serial number, model number, and revision number information. Drain Valve: Valve is located near bottom of air tank and is used to drain condensation. Overload Protector: If motor overheats, overload protector shuts motor off. See MAINTENANCE. Oil Fill Location: Oil level dipstick indicates pump oil level. ON - OFF Switch: Pull to ON position to power air compressor. Push to OFF position to remove power. Outlet Pressure Gauge: Indicates air pressure at Quick Connect Fitting. Drain Valve Air Compressor Pump Pressure Control Oil Fill Location Overload Protector Outlet Pressure Gauge ON -OFF Switch Pressure Switch Safety Valve Check Valve Tank Pressure Gauge Air Filter Quick Connect Fitting Pressure Control: Controls air pressure delivered to Quick Connect Fitting; can be secured with locking ring. Pressure Release Valve: (not shown) Located on top of tank adjacent to Quick Connect Fitting, valve automatically releases air from internal compressor components at “cutout” pressure or when unit is shut off.Valve is not serviceable by user. Pressure Switch: Automatically starts motor when tank pressure drops below “cut-in” pressure and stops motor when pressure rises to “cut-out” pressure. Quick Connect Fitting: Connect air tools here. Safety Valve: Valve protects against excessive tank pressure by ‘popping out’ at its factory setting, thus relieving pressure. Tank Pressure Gauge: Gauge indicates air pressure within air tank. NOTE: See GLOSSARY on page 18 for definitions. 6 OPERATION 1. Make sure ON - OFF switch is in OFF position OPERATION (see Figure 2). Add Oil Figure 2 - Pressure Switch with ON - OFF Switch 1. Place compressor on a flat, level surface. 2. Remove and discard the shipping cap. Using an oil funnel, slowly fill pump with oil to notch on dipstick (See Figure 1). 2. ounded 120 Volt A.C. outlet (see ounding Instructions on page 8). 3. y counterclockwise) to e build-up in air tank during break-in Figure 3 - Drain Valve in OPEN Position ON -OFF Switch shown in OFF position Drain Valve shown in OPEN position NOTE:Always drain air tank over a washable surface or in a suitable container to prevent damaging or staining surfaces. 4. Pull ON - OFF switch to ON position. Compressor will start. NOTE: If you hear leaking air, pull quick connect coupler back until it clicks to reset coupler valve. 5. Run compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure Drain Valve remains open. 6. After 15 minutes, close Drain Valve (rotate fully clockwise).Air tank will fill to “cut-out” pressure and compressor will stop. NOTE: Check oil level in compressor after break-in. The compressor has completed the break-in procedure and is ready for normal use.

Oil level should be at the notch in the dipstick. Replace dipstick. CAUTION • Damage to equipment resulting from failure to follow this instruction will void warranty. Serious damage may result if operating the unit with insufficient oil. Check oil level daily or with each use. Break-In Procedure Before first use of this equipment, the system must undergo a break-in operation, as described in this section. CAUTION Serious damage may result if the described break-in instructions are not closely followed. • This procedure is required before air compressor is put into service and when Check Valve or a complete Air Compressor Pump has been replaced. 7 OPERATION Air Compressor Operating Location Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well-ventilated area for operation.The air compressor should be placed at least 12 inches (30 cm) away from walls or other obstructions that could interfere with airflow. The Air Compressor Pump and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling.The ventilation openings on the compressor are necessary to maintain proper operating temperature. DO NOT place rags or containers on or near these openings. Keep the Air Filter clear of obstructions that could reduce airflow to the air compressor. Operate the air compressor with unit located on a flat surface to ensure that it receives proper lubrication. If you have any problems with operation of your air compressor, call air compressor helpline at 1-800-743-4115. If calling for assistance, please have the model, revision, and serial number from the data tag available. Grounding Instructions 1.
