BREATHABLE AIR WARNING
This compressor/pump is not equipped and should not be used “as is” to supply breathing quality
air. For any application of air for human consumption, the air compressor/pump will need to be
fitted with suitable in-line safety and alarm equipment. This additional equipment is necessary to
properly filter and purify the air to meet minimal specifications for Grade D breathing as described in
Compressed Gas Association Commodity Specification G 7.1, OSHA 29 CFR 1910. 134, and/or Canadian
Standards Associations (CSA).
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
In the event the compressor is used for the purpose of breathing air application and proper in-line
safety and alarm equipment is not simultaneously used, existing warranties shall be voided, and
Campbell Hausfeld disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss, personal injury or damage.
General Safety
Since the air compressor and other components (material pump, spray guns, filters, lubricators, hoses, etc.)
used make up a high pressure pumping system, the following safety precautions must be observed at all
times:
• Read all manuals included with this product carefully. Be thoroughly familiar with the controls and
the proper use of the equipment.
• Follow all local electrical and safety codes as well as the United States National Electrical Codes (NEC)
and Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA).
• Only persons well acquainted with these rules of safe operation should be allowed to use the
compressor.
• Keep visitors away and NEVER allow children in the work area.
• Wear safety glasses and use hearing protection when operating the unit.
• Do not stand on or use the unit as a handhold.
• Before each use, inspect compressed air system and electrical components for signs of damage,
deterioration, weakness or leakage. Repair or replace defective items before using.
• Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness.
This compressor is extremely top heavy. Use care when moving the unit around and make
sure the unit is placed on flat surface when operating.
Never install a shut-off valve between the compressor pump and the tank.
Motors, electrical equipment and controls can cause electrical arcs that will ignite a
flammable gas or vapor. Never operate or repair in or near a flammable gas or vapor. Never
store flammable liquids or gases in the vicinity of the compressor.
Never operate compressor without a beltguard. This unit can start automatically without
warning. Personal injury or property damage could occur from contact with moving parts.

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
• If the equipment should start to vibrate abnormally, STOP the engine/motor and check immediately
for the cause. Vibration is generally an indication of trouble.
• To reduce fire hazard, keep engine/motor exterior free of oil, solvent, or excessive grease.
An ASME code safety relief valve with a setting no higher than 200 PSI MUST be installed in the
tank for this compressor. The ASME safety valve must have sufficient flow and pressure ratings to
protect the pressurized components from bursting.
See compressor specifications for maximum operating pressure. Do not operate with pressure
switch or pilot valves set higher than the maximum operating pressure.
Maximum operating pressure is 175 PSI for single stage compressors. Do not operate with
pressure switch or pilot valves set higher than 175 PSI (2-stage).
• Never attempt to adjust ASME safety valve. Keep safety valve free from paint and other
accumulations.
Never use plastic (PVC) pipe for compressed air. Serious injury or death could
result.
Never attempt to repair or modify a tank! Welding, drilling or any other modification will
weaken the tank resulting in damage from rupture or explosion. Always replace worn, cracked
or damaged tanks.
Drain liquid from tank daily.
• Tanks rust from moisture build-up, which weakens the tank. Make sure to drain tank regularly and
inspect periodically for unsafe conditions such as rust formation and corrosion.
• Fast moving air will stir up dust and debris which may be harmful. Release air slowly when draining
moisture or depressurizing the compressor system.
Spraying Precautions
Do not spray flammable materials in vicinity of open flame or near ignition sources including
the compressor unit.
• Do not smoke when spraying paint, insecticides, or other flammable substances.
• Use a face mask/respirator when spraying and spray in a well ventilated area to prevent health and fire
hazards.
• Do not direct paint or other sprayed material at the compressor. Locate compressor as far away from
the spraying area as possible to minimize overspray accumulation on the compressor.
• When spraying or cleaning with solvents or toxic chemicals, follow the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer.
The DANGER, WARNING, CAUTION, and NOTICE notifications and instructions in this manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that
caution is a factor which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.

GETTING TO KNOW YOUR UNIT
Pressure Switch - Auto/Off Switch - In the auto position, the compressor shuts off automatically when tank
pressure reaches the maximum preset pressure. After air is used from the tank and drops to a preset low
level, the pressure switch automatically turns the motor back on. In the off position, the compressor will not
operate. This switch should be in the off position when connecting or disconnecting the power from the
unit.
When the pressure switch turns the motor off you will hear air leaking out of the pressure switch unloader
valve for a short time. This releases the air pressure from the discharge tube and allows the compressor to
restart easier.
ASME Safety Valve - This valve automatically releases air if the tank pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
Discharge Tube - This tube carries compressed air from the pump to the check valve. This tube becomes very
hot during use. To avoid the risk of severe burns, never touch the discharge tube.
Check Valve - One-way valve that allows air to enter the tank, but prevents air in the tank from flowing
back into the compressor pump.
Belt Guard - Covers the belt, motor pulley and flywheel.
Tank Drain Valve - This valve is located on the bottom of the tank. Use this valve to drain moisture from the
tank daily to reduce the risk of corrosion.
Tank Pressure Gauge - Indicates amount of air pressure stored in tank.
Hose Pressure Gauge - Indicates amount of air pressure in hose used to operate tools. This pressure is
increased or decreased by the regulator.
Regulator - The regulator controls the amount of air pressure released at the hose outlet.
Air Filter - Keeps large particulates out of the air flowing into the compressor.
Breather - Vent for crankcase.
Oil Fill Port - Port used to refill the oil in the pump after oil changes or when oil is low.
Pump - Cast Iron 2-Stage air compressor pump that generates compressed air.
Motor - Power source that drives the pump to create compressed air.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Disconnect, tag and lock out power source then release all pressure from the system before
attempting to install, service, relocate or perform any maintenance.
Do not lift or move unit without appropriately rated equipment. Be sure the unit is securely
attached to lifting device used. Do not lift unit by holding onto tubes or coolers. Do not use unit
to lift other attached equipment.

Lubrication
This unit contains no oil.
Before operating compressor, fill
to the center of the sight gauge (see Figure 7).
Using any other type of oil may
shorten pump life and damage
valves.
Recommended Oil (2 Options)
Single viscosity SAE 30 ISO100 nondetergent compressor
oil. Part number ST125303AV (0.5 qt) or ST126701AV (4
qt).
10W30 synthetic oil such as Mobil 1®or CE0032 (1 qt).
Oil Capacity
Approximately 15.2 oz.
Remove oil fill plug on pump. Check oil level; some
models are shipped with oil in the pump. Add oil
if needed. Fill the pump with oil to the center of
the sight gauge using oil fill opening (see Figure 7).
Place oil fill plug back on pump. Do NOT fill the pump
through the breather cap opening as this may cause oil to
leak and spray out during operation.
Do not use regular automotive oil. Additives in
regular motor oil can cause valve deposits and
reduce pump life.
For maximum pump life, drain and replace oil after
the first 50 hours of run time and then follow the
regular maintenance schedule outlined later in the
manual.
This pump has an oil sight glass as shown in Figure 6.
Oil level can be monitored and maintained as shown

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Electrical Information
Improperly grounded motors are shock hazards. Make sure all the equipment is properly
grounded.
Improper installation of the grounding plug is able to result in a risk of electric shock. When
repair or replacement of the cord or plug is required, do not connect the grounding wire to
either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes
is the grounding wire.
Overheating, short circuiting and fire damage will result from inadequate wiring.
Disconnect, tag and lock out power source, then release all pressure from the system before
attempting to install, service, relocate or perform any maintenance.
Damage to the motor from improper electrical voltage or connection will void the warranty.
DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD, USE A LONGER AIR HOSE.
The 120 volt, 15 amp units can be operated on a 120 volt, 15 amp circuit under the following conditions:
1. No other electrical appliances or lights are connected to the same branch circuit.
2. Voltage is 120 Volts.
3. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or a 15 amp slow blow fuse type T (For Canada use
Type D).
4. The length of copper wire between the outlet and circuit breaker is not longer than 40 ft. of
14 AWG or 70 ft. of 12 AWG.
Grounding
Improperly grounded electrical components are shock hazards. Make sure all the
components are properly grounded to prevent death or serious injury.
This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet
that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not use
grounding adapter.
Improper use of grounding plug can result in a risk of electrical shock. Plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and
ordinances by a qualified electrician.
This product comes from the factory ready for use on
a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug
similar to the plug illustrated in Figure 8. If the listed
conditions cannot be met or if nuisance tripping
of the current protection device occurs, it may be
possible to operate the compressor from a 120 volt
20 amp circuit. See Figure 8.
Check motor data plate for 240 volt compatibility. A
240 volt unit must be operated on a 240 volt circuit.
The cord must only plug into a 240 volt grounded
outlet and may require a new cord and plug. See
Figure 9. This product may be modified to operate
at 240V. To do so, a 240V power cord needs to be
purchased and installed on the unit and wired into
the pressure switch just like the 120V cord. The
panel on the back of the motor needs to be opened
and the flag terminals need to be moved so that the
brown wire that is on terminal #1 is on terminal #7
and the white wire that is on terminal #3 needs to
be moved to terminal #1 (where the brown wire was
originally). See Figure 10.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Start-up/Break-in Procedure
Do not attach air tools to open end of the hose until start-up is completed and the unit checks
okay.
Never disconnect threaded joints with pressure in tank!
1. Check oil level per the Lubrication Section of this manual.
2. Open the bottom tank drain valve (see Figure 11). Turn outlet valve to open air flow.
3. Plug unit in.
4. Move pressure switch to the AUTO position to run the unit (see Figure 12).
5. Run the unit for thirty (30) minutes at zero (0) PSI (under no load) to break in pump parts.
6. Move the pressure switch lever or knob to OFF and turn tank drain valve to shut off air flow. The
compressor is now ready for use.
7. Change oil after first fifty (50) hours of operation. Perform oil changes every three (3) months or two
hundred (200) hours of run time, whichever comes first.
Compressor Use
It is extremely important to operate the compressor in a clean, well-ventilated area where the surrounding
air temperature will not be more than 100°F. Do not locate the compressor air inlet near steam, paint spray,
sandblast areas or any other source of contamination.
On/Off Cycling of Compressor
Drain tank every day to prevent corrosion and possible injury due to tank damage. Do not
operate drain with more than 40 PSI in tank or drain valve may be damaged. Drain tank of
moisture daily using the drain valve in the bottom of the tank.
Drain liquid from tank daily.
In the AUTO position, the compressor pumps air into the tank. When a shut-off (preset “cut-out”) pressure
is reached, the compressor automatically shuts off.
If the compressor is left in the AUTO position and air is depleted from the tank by use of a tire chuck, tool,
etc., the compressor will restart automatically at its preset “cut-in” pressure. When a tool is being used
continuously, the compressor will cycle on and off automatically.
In the OFF position, the compressor will not operate.

MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR
Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets as it comes from an air compressor pump. When
humidity is high or when a compressor is in continuous use for an extended period of time, this
moisture will collect in the tank. When using a paint spray or sandblast gun, this water will be carried
from the tank through the hose, and out of the gun as droplets mixed with the spray material.
IMPORTANT: This condensation will cause water spots in a paint job, especially when spraying other
than water based paints. If sandblasting, it will cause the sand to cake and clog the gun, rendering
it ineffective. A filter in the air line, located as near to the gun as possible, will help eliminate this
moisture.

and pump cooling fins.
In order to maintain efficient operation of the compressor system,
check the air filter and oil level before each use. The ASME safety
valve should also be checked daily (see Figure 13). Pull ring on
safety valve and allow the ring to snap back to normal position.
This valve automatically releases air if the tank pressure exceeds
the preset maximum. If air leaks after the ring has been released,
or the valve is stuck and cannot be actuated by the ring, the ASME
safety valve must be replaced.
Do not tamper with the ASME safety valve.
Tank
Never attempt to repair or modify a tank! Welding, drilling or any other modification will
weaken the tank resulting in damage from rupture or explosion. Always replace worn, cracked
or damaged tanks.
Drain liquid from tank daily.
Drain Tank: Disconnect, tag and lock out power source; release pressure. Drain moisture from tank by
opening drain valve underneath tank once tank pressure is less than 40 PSI (See Figure 11 on page 12).
The tank should be carefully inspected at a minimum of once a year. Look for cracks forming near the
welds. If a crack is detected, remove pressure from tank immediately and replace.
Compressor Lubrication
See Installation. Add oil as required. The oil should be changed every three months or after every 200 hours
of operation; whichever comes first.
If the compressor is run under humid conditions for short periods of time, the humidity will condense in
the crankcase and cause the oil to look creamy. Oil contaminated by condensed water will not provide
adequate lubrication and must be changed immediately. Using contaminated oil will damage bearings,
pistons, cylinders and rings and is not covered under warranty. To avoid water condensation in the oil,
periodically run the compressor with tank pressure near 120 PSI for 2-stage compressors by opening the
drain cock or an air valve connected to the tank or hose. Run the pump for an hour at a time at least once a
week or more often if the condensation reoccurs.
IMPORTANT: Change oil after first 50 hours of operation.
Air Filter
Never run the compressor pump without an intake air filter or
with a clogged intake air filter. The air filter element should be
checked monthly (see Figure 14). Operating compressor with
a dirty filter can cause high oil consumption and increase oil
contamination in the discharge air. If the air filter is dirty it must
be replaced.

Belts
Lock out and tag the power then release all pressure from the tank to prevent unexpected
movement of the unit.
Check belt tension every 3 months. Adjust belt tension to allow 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch deflection with normal
thumb pressure. Also, align belts using a straight edge against the face of the flywheel and touching the
rim on both sides of the face. The belts should be parallel to this straight edge (see Figure 15). Dimension A
should be the same as B and C to ensure proper alignment of the belts.
Slots in the bed-plate allow for sliding the motor back and forth to adjust belt tension.
Removing Belt Guard
When removing belt guard front to
inspect or replace belts, inspect plastic retaining
clips and replace if damaged or if clip can be removed without a tool.
Removing Retaining Clips
1. Using crescent wrench on pliers, rotate clip 90°.
2. Pull clip out and away from beltguard.
3. Reverse process to reinstall after inspecting the clip.
Storage
If compressor is to be stored for a short period of time, make sure that it is stored in a normal position and
in a cool protected area.
