GLOSSARY
Become familiar with these terms before operating the unit.
CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.
PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of pressure.
Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of the following marks:
UL, CUL, ETL, CETL, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent
safety laboratories and meet the applicable Underwriters Laboratories
Standards for Safety.
Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you
continue to use your accessory. When the tank pressure drops to a certain low
level the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor
automatically restarts is called “cut-in” pressure.
Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run,
air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure
before the motor automatically shuts off - protecting your air tank from
pressure higher than its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts
off is called “cut-out” pressure.
Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.
DUTY CYCLE
Air compressors should be operated on not more than a 50% duty cycle. This
means an air compressor that pumps air more than 50% of one hour is
considered misuse, because the air compressor is undersized for the required
air demand. Maximum compressor pumping time per hour is 30 minutes.
Accessories for this unit are available at the store the unit was purchased.

rating as the branch circuit on which the air compressor is operated. 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.

INSTALLATION
Location of the Air Compressor
Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area. 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 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 other containers on or near these openings.
HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT
9- ENG D27456
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. In the event of a short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing
an escape wire for the electric current. This air compressor must be
properly grounded.
The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug (see illustrations). The plug must be
used with an outlet that has been installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
1. The cord set and plug with this unit contains a
grounding pin. This plug MUST be used with a
grounded outlet.
IMPORTANT: 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. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.
When used outside of the United States of America a
conversion kit may be required for local use.
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 compressor is properly grounded, have the
installation checked by a qualified electrician.
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL
SHOCK.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, a
correct outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician.
Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified electrician.

D27456
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the Parts Manual 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 is 108V-132V AC at the outlet.
2. Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs (lights, appliances,
etc.).
3. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker minimum or 15 amp time
delay fuse. NOTE: If compressor is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use only time delay fuses marked “D” for Canada and "T" for US.
4. Extension cords comply with specifications.
If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the compressor
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.
Extension Cords
Using extension cords is not recommended. The use of extension cords 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.
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
• a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot
receptacle that will accept the plug on the product
• in good condition
• no longer than 50 feet
• 14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number
decreases. 12 AWG, 10 AWG, and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT
USE 16 OR 18 AWG.)

OPERATION
Know Your Air Compressor
READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING
YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustrations with your unit to familiarize yourself with
the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future
reference.
Description of Operation
Become familiar with these controls before operating the unit.
On/Auto/Off Switch: Turn this
switch ON to provide automatic
power to the pressure switch and
OFF to remove power at the end
of each use.
Pressure Switch: The pressure
switch automatically starts the
motor when the air tank pressure
drops below the factory set "cut-
in" pressure. It stops the motor
when the air tank pressure
reaches the factory set "cut-out"
pressure.
Safety Valve: If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its
"cut-out" pressure setting, the safety valve will protect against high pressure by
"popping out" at its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure
switch "cut-out" setting).
Outlet Pressure Gauge: The outlet pressure gauge indicates the air pressure
available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the
regulator and is always less than or equal to the tank pressure.
Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air
pressure in the tank.
Regulator: Controls the air pressure shown on the outlet pressure gauge. Turn
the knob clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease
pressure.
Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the air
tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of each
use.
Cooling System (not shown): 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.
Air Compressor Pump (not shown): Compresses air into the air tank.
Working air is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank
pressure above that required at the air outlet.

Serious damage (for units with a tank) may result if the
following break-in instructions are not closely followed.
This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into service and
when the check valve or a complete compressor pump has been replaced.
1. Make sure the On/Auto/Off lever is in the "OFF" position.
NOTE: Pull coupler back until it clicks to prevent air from escaping through the
quick connect.
2.
Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. (Refer to
Voltage and Circuit Protection paragraph in the Installation section of this
manual.)
3. Open the drain valve fully to permit air to escape and
prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during the break-
in period.
4. Move the On/Auto/Off lever to "ON/AUTO" position. The
compressor will start.
5. Run the compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure the drain
valve is open and there is minimal air pressure build-up in
tank.
