The air tank on your Air Compressor is designed and may be UM coded
(for units with air tanks greater than 6" (152 mm) diameter) according to ASME
Section VIII, Div. 1 rules. All pressure vessels should be inspected once every two
years. To find your state pressure vessels inspector, look under the Division of Labor
and Industries in the government section of a phone book .
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in a
violent air tank explosion:
• Failuretoproperlydraincondensed
water from air tank, causing rust
and thinning of the steel air tank.

• Over inflation of tires could result in
serious injury and property damage. • Useatirepressuregaugetocheck
the tires pressure before each use
and while inflating tires; see the tire
sidewall for the correct tire pressure.
Air tanks, compressors and similar
equipment used to inflate tires can fill
small tires similar to these very rapidly.
Adjust pressure regulator on air supply
to no more than the rating of the tire
pressure. Add air in small increments and
frequently use the tire gauge to prevent
over inflation.
HAZARD
• Your air compressor is powered by
electricity. Like any other electrically
powered device, If it is not used
properly it may cause electric
shock.
• Never operate the compressor
outdoors when it is raining or in wet
conditions.
• Never operate compressor with
protective covers removed or
damaged.
• Repairs attempted by unqualified
personnel can result in serious
injury or death by electrocution.
• Any electrical wiring or repairs
required on this product should be
performed by authorized service
center personnel in accordance with
national and local electrical codes.
• Failure to
provide adequate grounding to

This air compressor pump is capable
of running continuously. However, to
prolong the life of your air compressor,
it is recommended that a 50%-75%
average duty cycle be maintained; that
is, the air compressor pump should
not run more than 30-45 minutes in
any given hour.

The portable air compressor is
equipped with a cord having a ground-
ing wire with an appropriate grounding
plug (see following illustrations).
1. The cord set and plug with this
unit contains a grounding pin.
This plug MUST be used with a
grounded outlet.
The outlet being used
must be installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.

2. Make sure the outlet being used
has the same configuration as the
grounded plug.
See illustration.

3. Inspect the plug and cord before
each use. Do not use if there are
signs of damage.
4. If these grounding instructions are
not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the compres-
sor is properly grounded, have the
installation checked by a qualified
electrician.

• 12gauge(AWG)orlarger.(Wire
size increases as gauge number
decreases.10AWGand8AWG
may also be used. DO NOT USE
14OR16AWG.)
The use of an
undersized extension
cord will cause voltage to drop
resulting in power loss to the motor
and overheating. Instead of using an
extension cord, increase the working
reach of the air hose by attaching
another length of hose to its end.
Attach additional lengths of hose as
needed. Always use an air hose rated
300 psi or greater.
Refer to the specification chart for the
voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
Certain air
compressors can be
operated on a 15 amp circuit if the
following conditions are met.
1. Voltage supply to circuit must
comply with the National Electrical
Code.
2. Circuit is not used to supply any
other electrical needs.
3. Extension cords comply with
specifications.
4. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp
circuit breaker or 15 amp time
delay fuse. If compressor
is connected to a circuit protected
by fuses, use only time delay
fuses. Time delay fuses should be
marked "D" in Canada and "T" in
the US.
If any of the above conditions cannot
be met, or if operation of the compres-
sor repeatedly causes interruption
of the power, it may be necessary to
operate it from a 20 amp circuit. It is
not necessary to change the cord set.
Whentransportingthecompressorina
vehicle, trailer, etc., make sure the tank
is drained and the unit is secured with
straps to prevent tipping. Use care
when driving to prevent tipping the unit
over in the vehicle. Damage can occur
to the compressor or surrounding
items if the compressor is tipped.

Drain
Valve
The drain valve is
located at the
base of the air
tank and is used
to drain conden-
sation at the end of each use.
This
compressor contains an advanced
design cooling system. At the heart of
this cooling system is an engineered
fan. It is perfectly normal for this fan to
blow air through the vent holes in large
amounts. You know that the cooling
system is working when air is being
expelled.

Valve
The pressure
release valve
located on the
side of the pres-

designed to
automatically release compressed air
from the compressor head and the out-
let tube when the air compressor reach-
es "cut-out" pressure or is shut off. The
pressure release valve allows the motor
torestartfreely.Whenthemotorstops
running, air will be heard escaping from
this valve for a few seconds. No air
should be heard leaking when the motor
is running or after the unit reaches "cut-

has a thermal overload protector. If
the motor overheats for any reason,
the overload protector will shut off the
motor. The motor must be allowed to

To ensure efficient operation and lon-
ger life of the air compressor, a routine
maintenance schedule should be pre-
pared and followed. The above routine
maintenance schedule is geared to an
air compressor in a normal working
environment operating on a daily basis.
If necessary, the schedule should be
modified to suit the conditions under
which your air compressor is used.
The modifications will depend upon
the hours of operation and the work-
ing environment. Compressors in an
extremely dirty and/or hostile environ-
ment will require a greater frequency of
all maintenance checks.
See Operation section for the
location of controls.
Before starting compressor, pull the
ring on the safety valve to make sure
that the safety valve operates freely. If
the valve is stuck or does not operate
smoothly, it must be replaced with the
same type of valve.
