This pressure is controlled by the regulator and is always less or equal to the tank pressure. Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank. Regulator: The air pressure coming from the air tank is controlled by the regulator knob. Turn the knob clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease pressure. To avoid minor readjustment after making a change in pressure setting, always approach the desired pressure from a lower pressure. When reducing from a higher to a lower setting, first reduce to some pressure less than that desired, then bring up to the desired pressure. Depending on the air requirements of each particular accessory, the outlet regulated air pressure may have to be adjusted while you are operating the accessory. ASSEMBLY (Portable Only) Items Needed For Assembly • a 9/16" socket or open end wrench for attaching the wheels. • a 3/8" open end wrench to tighten handle screws. Installing Wheels, Handles, Rubber Foot Strip (not included on some models) THE WHEELS AND HANDLE DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE CLEARANCE, STABILITY OR SUPPORT FOR PULLING THE UNIT UP AND DOWN STAIRS OR STEPS. THE UNIT MUST BE LIFTED, OR PUSHED UP A RAMP. On some models, handles are assembled by the manufacturer. If not assembled, use one of the following methods: Method 1 Attach the handle to the inside of the compressor saddle by pushing the handle in until the slot in the handle engages with the tabs in the saddle. Pull the handle back and install the two screws, one on each side of the saddle. Tighten securely. It may be necessary to brace or support one end of the outfit when attaching the wheels, and the rubber foot strip, because the air compressor will have a tendency to tip. Method 2 1. Remove handle from shipping carton. Squeeze cut ends of handle toward each other until ends can be inserted into slots created by machine tabs on top inside edge of baseplate. Lift both sides of handle to baseplate with locking tab inserting into handle hole on left side only. Insert 1/4x1-1/4 self-tapping screws through holes in side of baseplate and into clamping tab holes. Tighten securely. Check to make sure that handle is secure against baseplate. 2. Remove the protective paper strip from the adhesive backed rubber foot strip. Attach the rubber foot strip to the bottom of the air tank leg. Press firmly into place. 3. Install one shoulder bolt and one nut for each wheel using bolt holes provided. Tighten securely. The outfit will sit level if the wheels are properly installed. 6 — ENG INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES Location of the Air Compressor Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area. The air filter must be kept clear of obstructions which could reduce air flow to the air compressor. The air compressor should be located at least 12" away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air. The air compressor head and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling. If humidity is high, an air filter can be installed on the air outlet adapter to remove excessive moisture. Follow the instructions packaged with the air filter for proper installation. Air Compressor Anchoring Methods (Stationary Units Only) EXCESSIVE VIBRATION CAN WEAKEN THE AIR TANK AND CAUSE AN EXPLOSION. THE COMPRESSOR MUST BE PROPERLY MOUNTED AS ILLUSTRATED BELOW. Stationary air compressors must be bolted to the floor. Bolting holes are provided in the base feet. Mount the air compressor on a solid, level foundation. Support compressor weight evenly on all four feet. Solid shims may be used if necessary. Lubrication and Oil This unit needs no lubrication or oiling. Extension Cords To avoid voltage drop, power loss, and overheating to the motor, use extra air hose instead of an extension cord. Low voltage can cause damage to the motor. If an extension cord must be used: • do not use with any permanently mounted air compressor. • use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the extension cord. • make sure the extension cord is in good condition. • the extension cord should be no longer than 50 feet. • the minimum wire size is 12 gauge (AWG). (Wire size increases as gauge number decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 14 AWG or 16 AWG.) Certain air compressor models can be converted to 240 volts from 120 volt operation. When converting a specific model to 240 volt operation, the attached three-prong 120 volt plug must be replaced with the three-prong 240 volt plug (purchase locally) or order line cord Part No. K-0084. Refer to Parts List of your compressor. Certain air compressor models can be operated on a 15 amp circuit if: 1. Voltage supply to circuit is normal. 2. Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs (lights, appliances, etc.). 3. Extension cords comply with specifications in this manual. 4. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit break...
