WARNING: RISK OF BURSTING
Air Tank: On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product
Safety Commission published Release # 02-108 concerning air
compressor tank safety:
Air compressor receiver tanks do not have an infinite life. Tank
life is dependent upon several factors, some of which include
operating conditions, ambient conditions, proper installations, field
modifications, and the level of maintenance. The exact effect of
these factors on air receiver life is difficult to predict.
If proper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal corrosion
to the inner wall of the air receiver tank can cause the air tank to
unexpectedly rupture allowing pressurized air to suddenly and
forcefully escape, posing risk of injury to consumers.
Your compressor air tank must be removed from service by the end
of the year shown on your tank warning label.
The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank,
and result in a violent air tank explosion:
WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Failure to properly drain
condensed water from
air tank, causing rust and
thinning of the steel air tank.
• Drain air tank daily or after
each use. If air tank develops
a leak, replace it immediately
with a new air tank or replace
the entire compressor.

English

ON(I)/OFF(O) SWITCH
Place this switch (A) in the ON (I) position to provide automatic power
to the pressure switch and OFF (O) to remove power at the end of
each use.
PRESSURE SWITCH (NOT SHOWN)
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 (F) will protect against high
pressure by “popping out” at its factory set pressure (slightly higher
than the pressure switch “cut-out” setting).
CHECK VALVE (NOT SHOWN)
When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is “open”,
allowing compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air
compressor reaches “cut-out” pressure, the check valve “closes”,
allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank.
TANK PRESSURE GAUGE
The tank pressure gauge (B) indicates the reserve air pressure in
the tank.
REGULATED PRESSURE GAUGE
The regulated pressure gauge (C) indicates the air pressure available
at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the
regulator.
REGULATOR
The regulator (D) controls the air pressure shown on the outlet
pressure gauge. Turn regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure
and counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
QUICK CONNECT BODIES
The quick connect body (E) accepts industrial quick connect plugs.
The two quick connect bodies allow the use of two tools at the same
time.
DRAIN VALVE
The drain valve (G) is located at the base of the air tank and is used
to drain condensation at the end of each use.
See Draining Air
Tank under
Maintenance.
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)
The pump 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.
MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTOR (NOT SHOWN)
The motor 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 cool down before restarting. To restart:

CE QUI PEUT SE
PRODUIRE COMMENT L’ÉVITER
• Il est normal que des
contacts électriques
dans le moteur et le
manocontacteur fassent
une étincelle.
• Faites toujours fonctionner
le compresseur dans une
zone bien aérée sans matière
combustible, essence ou
vapeur de solvant.
• Si une étincelle électrique
provenant du compresseur
entre en contact avec des
vapeurs inflammables,
elle peut s’enflammer et
causer un incendie ou une
explosion.
• Si vous aspergez des
matériaux inflammables,
placez le compresseur à
au moins 6,1 m (20 pieds)
de la zone pulvérisée. Il est
possible que vous ayez besoin
d’une longueur de tuyau
additionnelle.
• Entreposez les matières
inflammables dans un
endroit sécuritaire, éloigné du
compresseur.

CE QUI PEUT SE
PRODUIRE COMMENT L’ÉVITER
• Il est dangereux de respirer
l’air comprimé sortant du
compresseur. Le flux d’air
peut contenir du monoxyde
de carbone, des vapeurs
toxiques ou des particules
solides provenant du
réservoir d’air. La respiration
de ces contaminants
peut causer de sérieuses
blessures, voire la mort.
• Ne jamais utiliser l’air obtenu
directement du compresseur
pour l’alimentation en air
destinée à la consommation
humaine. Le compresseur
n’est pas muni de filtres et
d’équipement de sécurité
en ligne qui conviennent à la
consommation humaine.
• Une exposition aux produits
chimiques présents dans
la poussière générée par
les activités de ponçage,
sciage, meulage, perçage
et autres, peut être nocive.
• Les matériaux vaporisés
comme la peinture, les
solvants de peinture, les
décapants, les insecticides,
les herbicides, pourraient
contenir des vapeurs
nocives et du poison.
• Travailler dans un endroit
ayant une bonne aération
transversale. Lire et respecter
les directives en matière
de sécurité imprimées sur
l’étiquette ou les fiches
signalétiques des matériaux qui

DANGER
AVERTISSEMENT: RISQUE D’ÉCLATEMENT
Réservoir d’air comprimé: Le 26 février 2002, la U.S. Consumer
Product Safety Commission américaine a publié la règle nº 02-108
portant sur la sécurité en matière de réservoir d’air comprimé des
compresseurs:
Les réservoirs d’air comprimé des compresseurs n’ont pas une
durée de vie illimitée. La durée de vie des réservoirs dépend de
plusieurs facteurs, qui comprennent entre autres : les conditions
d’utilisation, les conditions ambiantes, une installation adéquate, les
modifications sur site, et le niveau de maintenance. L’effet exact que
peut avoir ces facteurs sur la durée de vie des réservoirs d’air est
difficilement prévisible.
Si les procédures adéquates de maintenance ne sont pas suivies,
la corrosion sur la paroi interne du réservoir d’air comprimé peut
faire que celui-ci éclate de façon inopinée laissant soudainement
l’air pressurisé s’échapper avec force, posant ainsi des risques de
dommages corporels à l’utilisateur.
Le réservoir d’air de votre compresseur doit être mis hors service à
la fin de l’année mentionnée sur l’étiquette d’avertissement apposée
sur le réservoir.
Les conditions suivantes peuvent amener la dégradation du
réservoir d’air, et faire que ce dernier explose violemment:
CE QUI PEUT SE
PRODUIRE COMMENT L’ÉVITER
• L’eau condensée n’est pas
correctement vidangée du
réservoir d’air provoquant
ainsi la formation de rouille
et un amincissement du
réservoir d’air en acier.
• Vidanger le réservoir d’air
quotidiennement ou après
chaque utilisation. Si le
réservoir présente une fuite, le
remplacer immédiatement par
un nouveau réservoir d’air ou
par un nouveau compresseur.
• Modifications apportées au
réservoir d’air ou tentatives
de réparation.
• Ne jamais percer un trou
dans le réservoir d’air ou
ses accessoires, y faire de la
soudure ou y apporter quelque
modification que ce soit. Ne
jamais essayer de réparer un
réservoir d’air endommagé ou
avec des fuites. Le remplacer
par un nouveau réservoir d’air.
• Des modifications non
autorisées de la soupape
de sûreté ou de tous
autres composants qui
régissent la pression du
réservoir d’air.
• Le réservoir d’air a été conçu
pour supporter des pressions
spécifiques de fonctionnement.
Ne faites jamais effectuer de
réglages ou de substitutions de
pièces en vue de modifier les
pressions de fonctionnement
réglées en usine.
