SAFETY INFORMATION

4Eastwood Technical Assistance: 800.343.9353 >> tech@eastwood.com
BURST HAZARD!
• Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. Compressor outlet pressure must be regulated to
never exceed the maximum pressure rating of the tool. Relieve all pressure through the hose before attaching or removing accessories.
• Do not weld, drill or modify the air tank of this compressor. Welding or modifications on the air compressor tank can severely impair
tank strength and cause an extremely hazardous condition.
• Do not adjust the Pressure Relief Valve for any reason. The Pressure Relief Valve has been pre-set at the factory for the maximum
safe pressure of this unit. Personal injury and/or property damage may result if the relief valve is tampered with.
• Use only hose, pipe and fittings rated for compressed air distribution lines. Do not use plastic or PVC pipes.
• Verify the oil drain valve is completely closed before operation. Failure to close the oil drain valve may result in pressure causing the
moisture drain system to burst.
• To provide proper ventilation for cooling and prevent overheating, the compressor must be kept a minimum of 12 inches (31 cm)
from the nearest wall, in a well–ventilated area.
• The Eastwood Elite QST 30/60 Compressor is mounted on Casters and can vibrate or move slightly during operation.

NOTE: Do not lose the Oil Fill Plug/Dipstick Seal.
• Check oil level by observing the level on the Dipstick. The oil level is
acceptable when it is BETWEEN the top mark and bottom mark
(FIG 3). If necessary, carefully add or remove oil until the level is
BETWEEN the marks.
• Check for full closure of the Drain Valve located on the Oil Reservoir (FIG 4).
• If needed, add #31718 Eastwood Synthetic Scroll Compressor Oil to the fill
port of the Oil Reservoir using a suitable funnel (FIG 5).
• Check the condition of the Seal then replace Oil Fill Plug/Dipstick and
tighten securely.
Before starting and running the Eastwood Elite QST 30/60,
the following brief steps MUST be performed:
• Place the Compressor on a level surface.

STEP 2 – CHECK AIR FILTER
• Remove the Lid from the Air Filter Housing by rotating the Lid counter-
clockwise to unlock it (FIG 6).
• Check that the Paper Element is in place (FIG 7), then replace the Air Filter
Lid. Note that the snorkel of the Air Cleaner Housing must be pointing
downward (FIG 8).
STEP 3 – ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
• For best performance, the Compressor must be installed on a dedicated cir-
cuit, with a circuit breaker or fuse for protection. Each time the Compressor
motor starts, it will momentarily draw several times its full load amperage. It
is important to consider this start-up surge when specifying circuit breakers
or fuses. If fuses are used, time-delay type must be installed.
• The power supply wiring must be adequately sized to prevent dangerous
overheating and low voltage at the Compressor during startup and running.
Low voltage will cause difficult starting, overheating, and excessive tripping
of circuit breakers. The wire gauge must be increased for longer wire runs
to accommodate the increased resistance inherent in longer runs. Refer to
the National Electric Code to determine the proper wire gauge for your wire
run length. Low voltage can also be caused by low supply voltage from the
power company, or from other equipment running on the same line.
• For safety reasons, install a disconnect switch in the line from the electrical
panel to the Compressor as close to the Compressor as possible. When
the switch is off, all power to the Compressor is disconnected. When the
switch is on, the compressor will start and stop automatically as it will be
controlled by the pressure switch.
