RECEIPT AND INSPECTION
Each air compressor outt is carefully tested and inspected before shipment. Every
attempt is made to ensure safe and complete shipment of our products. It is the
responsibility of the receiver of the goods to ensure the product has been shipped in
full and has arrived in suitable condition. If there are any mechanical issues with your
compressor, please contact us for service.
It is your responsibility to ensure that the air compressor is properly readied for use,
as well as maintained and serviced on a regular basis. Information has been included
in this booklet outlining the suggested air compressor maintenance schedules and a
trouble shooting guide. Be sure to follow the instructions in section 6.1 before turning
your compressor on. It is important that you read this information and keep it in a safe
place for future reference.
DESCRIPTION
The air compressor pump works with the up and down movement of a piston in the
cylinder. During the down-stroke of the piston, ambient air is drawn in through the inlet
valve, while the discharge valve remains closed. During the up-stroke, the air is forced
into the compressor tank through the discharge valve and the check valve. Through
this controlled action, air is forced into the tank to a preset pressure. The pressure is
regulated by the pressure switch. Working air is not available until the pressure in the
air tank built up. The air inlet lter openings must be kept clear of obstructions.
All tools require specic air pressure to operate properly. Consult your air tool manual
for those requirements and safety instructions. There are a variety of air tools available
that will operate efciently with this air compressor. For best results, always compare
the air tool requirements to your compressor output specications. A tool that requires
a lot of continuous air, such as a sander, will not operate effectively with a small tank
compressor. A tool that requires little air, such as a brad nail gun, will operate with a
small tank compressor very effectively. Learn your air tool power requirements, match
your air tools to your compressor correctly and this compressor will perform effectively.

Installation
MECHANICAL
Use the compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area. The compressor should
be located 12 ~ 18 inches from a wall or any other obstruction that would interfere
with the air ow cooling function. Place the air compressor on a rm and level surface.
The air compressor is designed with heat dissipation ns that allow for proper cooling.
Keep the ns and other parts that collect dust or dirt clean. A clean compressor runs
cooler and promotes longer life. Allow room for easy access to the air compressor for
maintenance and service work. Air tool power requirements, match your air tools to
your compressor correctly and this compressor will perform effectively.
ELECTRICAL
It is your responsibility to ensure that the air compressor is connected to power source
in a safe and correct manner. Any electrical work should be carried out by a licensed
electrician and installed in a way that meets all applicable codes and regulations.
Failure to connect the air compressor correctly to power source may result in serious
personal injury or damage to the equipment.
Please note that under normal conditions, the air compressor will operate
intermittently. Should it be necessary to service your air compressor, ensure the power
source has been shut down. This must be done to prevent personal injury or damage
to the unit.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by your dealer or all warranties and
liabilities are void.
MOTOR
Wiring must be completed in a manner that the full voltage nameplate ±10% is
available at the motor terminals during startup. Use of an incorrect power source
will result in premature motor failure and is not covered by this compressor or motor
manufacturer’s warranty.
RESET SWITCH
Ensure that all guards and shrouds are in place before pressing reset switch to restart
the motor. If the motor shuts down because of overload, wait 10-15 minutes for the
motor to cool down, then press the reset switch to restart motor. The reset switch
button is located on the motor housing.
INSTALLATION

11
PRESSURE SWITCH
The pressure switch acts as a pilot device activating the motor. The pressure switch
cut in/cut out has been preset at the factory, do not tamper with the settings. Never
bypass or remove this switch, as serious damage to equipment or personal injury could
result from improper pressure setting. Consult your local distributor or service center if
the switch malfunctions.
This pressure switch houses the “AUTO”, or “ON” switch as well as the “OFF” switch.
The term “AUTO” is used because it activates the motor and allows the pump to operate
until the compressor reaches the preset pressure. Once up to the preset pressure,
the motor stops and switches to standby mode. After air is bleed off through use of
otherwise, the pressure switch then will kick the motor back into operation so the proper
air pressure will always be maintained. Thus, the
compressor does have current readily available to
operate the pump, and will draw on the electrical
supply automatically upon need.
Always set this switch to “OFF” when the
compressor is not in use and before unplugging
compressor.
AIR PRESSURE REGULATOR
The air pressure regulator enables you to adjust outlet pressure to the tool in use. Never
exceed maximum working pressure of the tool. To adjust, turn clockwise to increase
pressure, or turn counterclockwise to decrease pressure to the tool. Turn the thread nut
against knob to lock in place.
GROUNDING
Do not modify the plug that has been provided. If it does not t the available outlet, the
correct outlet should be installed by a qualied electrician. The plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes. If
these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether
the compressor is properly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualied
electrician.
This product is for use on a nominal 115 or 230 volt circuit, as applicable. A cord with a
grounding plug as shown here must be used. Make sure that the product is connected
to an outlet having the same conguration as the plug. No adapter should be used with
this product.
INSTALLATION

12
EXTENSION CORDS
The use of any extension cord will cause some drop in voltage and loss of power. Do
not use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary. It is better to use a long air hose
to reach area where work is being performed. If use of an extension cord can not be
avoided, refer to the following guidelines before using.
Use only 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug. Make sure your
extension cord is in good condition. Be sure gauge is sufcient to carry the current the
unit will draw. Note that the smaller the gauge the heavier the cord. Example: Gauge 10
is heavier than gauge 12. Do not use 14 or 16 AWG for extension cord.
Lubrication
OIL FILLING
1. Remove the oil ller plug.
2. Slowly pour the proper oil into the pump crankcase.
3. Always keep oil level between the marks “High” and “Low” level on the oil dipstick
(or on the red circle of the sight glass).
OIL CHANGE
Change oil after the rst 8 hours of compressor operation, then change oil after every
300 working hours or 3 months whichever comes rst.
1. Remove the oil drain plug and allow oil to drain out. Used oil should be handled by
recycle agents.
2. Replace the oil drain plug. The use of a sealing compound or Teon tape to avoid
leakage is recommended.
