OPERATE THIS COMPRESSOR.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please familiarize yourself with the following information to prevent
damage to your compressor unit and injury to the operator.
CAUTIONS
The air compressor motor and/or engine will get hot while in operation.
Never touch the discharge tubing, engine, motor or compressor pump while in
operation. The compressor operates automatically while the power is
connected and turned on, or the engine is running.
Compressed air from the unit may contain hazardous fumes. Air produced by
this compressor is not suitable for breathing purposes. Always use a respirator
when spraying paint or chemicals, or when sandblasting. Always wear safety
glasses or goggles when using compressed air.
It is not practical or possible to warn you about all the hazards associated with
operating or maintaining this equipment. You must use your own good
judgment.
EXTENSION CORDS
Make sure your extension cord is in good condition.When using an extension
cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will
draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of
power and overheating.Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on
cord length and nameplate amperage rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier
gauge.The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

AIR RECEIVER IN ANY WAY.
Any replacement parts should be purchased with the same specifications as
the original equipment. Please contact the authorized dealer for
replacement parts or specifications.
SAFETY VALVE
This valve is factory installed to prevent over pressurizing of the air receiver.
It is factory set at a specific limit for your particular model, and should never
be tampered with.
Adjustment by user will automatically void the warranty.
DO NOT REMOVE, MAKE
ADJUSTMENTS TO OR SUBSTITUTE
THIS VALVE!
INSTALLATION
1. INSTALLATION
Proper care, maintenance and lubrication ensures longevity. The compressor
should always be level for proper lubrication. Do not over tighten foot bolts
as excessive vibration may occur. Use only in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated
area. The compressor has heat dissipation fins for proper cooling. Keep the
fins and other parts that collect dust clean. Do not place rags or other
materials on top of the compressor, as this obstructs cooling and can be a
fire hazard.
2. BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
1. Open the air receiver's drain valve or outlet valve.
2. Run the compressor for a minimum of twenty (20) minutes in no-load
condition to lubricate the bearings and pistons.
3. Close the air receiver drain valve and the outlet valve. Your compressor is
now ready for use.
4. Check v-belt for proper tension after 24 hours of operation. (see item 10.)
5. Nuts and bolts may loosen, retighten when necessary.
6. Compressor oil may turn black. This is normal, change after 100 hours.

5. FILLING COMPRESSOR WITH OIL
1. Remove the oil filler plug
2. Slowly pour the proper oil into the pump crankcase.
3. Always keep oil level in the middle of the sight glass.
6. ENGINE LUBRICATION (IF ENGINE DRIVEN)
Check engine Owner's manual for lubrication and maintenance
requirements.
7. OIL CHANGES
INITIAL OIL CHANGE DUE AT 100 HOURS
CHANGE OIL EVERY 300 HOURS OR 3 MONTHS,WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.
1. Remove the oil drain plug. Allow oil to drain completely.
2. Replace the oil drain plug.
3. Refill with the recommended oil to the proper level.
8. MAINTENANCE
Before doing any maintenance or adjustments to your air compressor, the
following safety precautions should be taken:
* TURN OFF AND LOCK OUT ELECTRIC POWER.
* DRAIN AIR RECEIVER AND AIR LINES OF AIR PRESSURE.
9. CHECKING BELT TENSION
Adjust belt(s) so when pressure is applied at the center, there is
approximately 1/2" slack (see diagram below).
If the belt is installed too tight, the motor might be overloaded. This will
cause the motor to overheat. If the belt is installed too loosely, it will
slip and excessive wear and vibration will occur.

6
HOW TO INSTALL NEW BELT IF REQUIRED
1. Disconnect power supply.
2. Remove belt guard.
3. Loosen motor bolts and slide motor toward compressor head just
enough to allow old belt to be removed.
4. Install proper replacement belt.
5. Slide motor away from compressor head to provide recommended
tension as shown in diagram on page 5.
6. Align belt using a straight edge ruler against pulley’s edge.
7. Fasten motor bolts.
8. Ensure motor and compressor pulley’s are secure. Re-check alignment.
9. Re-install belt guard and reconnect power supply.
10.Belt tension should be checked after 20 hours of operation. Check
tension monthly thereafter.

une rallonge électrique, assurez-vous que le fil est assez gros pour supporter
l'intensité de courant dont votre appareil a besoin. Une rallonge électrique
de capacité insuffisante provoquera une chute de tension de secteur, ce qui
entraînera une perte de puissance et une surchauffe. Le Tableau 1 donne les
grosseurs de fil correctes en fonction de la longueur du cordon et du courant
nominal qui apparaît sur la plaque signalétique. En cas de doute, utilisez le fil
de grosseur immédiatement supérieur. Plus le numéro de jauge est petit,
plus le fil est gros.

INSTALLATION
1. INSTALLATION
La prudence ainsi qu'un entretien et une lubrification convenables assurent
la longévité de cet appareil. Le compresseur doit toujours être à niveau pour
assurer une lubrification suffisante. Ne serrez pas trop les boulons d'ancrage
car cela pourrait provoquer des vibrations excessives. Utilisez cet appareil
seulement dans un lieu propre, sec et bien aéré. Le compresseur est muni
d'ailettes afin d'assurer un refroidissement suffisant. Gardez les ailettes, ainsi
que les autres pièces auxquelles adhère la poussière, propres. Ne déposez
rien (chiffons ou autre matériel) sur le compresseur, car ces objets nuisent au
refroidissement et peuvent présenter un risque d'incendie.

2. RODAGE
1. Ouvrez le robinet de purge ou le robinet de décharge du réservoir d'air.
2. Faites fonctionner le compresseur pendant au moins vingt (20) minutes
sans charge afin de lubrifier les paliers, les roulements et les pistons.
3. Fermez le robinet de purge et le robinet de décharge du réservoir d'air.
Votre compresseur est maintenant prêt à l'emploi.
4. Vérifiez la tension de la courroie trapézoïdale après 24 heures de
fonctionnement. (Voir le paragraphe 10.)
5. Les écrous et les boulons peuvent se desserrer. Il faut donc les resserrer
au besoin.
6. L'huile du compresseur peut noircir. Cela est normal, changez l'huile
après 100 heures.
3. AVANT D'UTILISER LE COMPRESSEUR D'AIR,VEUILLEZ
PROCÉDER AUX VÉRIFICATIONS SUIVANTES AVEC SOIN :
1. Vérifiez que les écrous et les boulons sont tous bien serrés.
2. Vérifiez que l'appareil contient une quantité suffisante d'huile, de qualité
convenable.
3. Si les filtres d'aspiration sont sales, remplacez ou nettoyez-les.
4. LUBRIFICATION DU COMPRESSEUR
