•Oil-less air compressors are factory lubricated for life and do not
require any further lubricated.
•The basic components of the air compressor are the electric motor,
pump, pressure switch, and tank. The electric motor (A) powers the
pump. The electric motor is equipped with an overload protector and
an automatic reset. If the motor becomes overheated, the overload
protector will shut it down to prevent damage to the motor. When the
motor cools sufficiently, it will automatically restart.
•The pump (B) compresses the air and discharges it into the tank.
•The tank (C) stores the compressed air.
•The pressure switch (D) shuts down the motor and relieves air
pressure in the pump and transfer tubwhen the air pressure in the tank
reaches the kick-out pressure. As compressed air is used and the
pressure level in the tank drops to the kick-in pressure, the pressure switch restarts the motor
automatically, without warning, and the pump resumes compressing air.
Fig 1
Assembling the Compressor
1.Unpack the air compressor. Inspect the unit for damage. If the unit has been
damaged in transit, contact the carrier and complete a damage claim. Do this
immediately as there is a time limit to damage claims. The carton should contain:
- Air compressor
- Operator and parts manuals
- Handle
- 3/8” x 25’ Air Hose (x1)
2.Tighten the handle into its position with the screws included.
3.Check the compressor’s specifications label to ensure that you have received the model ordered,
and that it has the required pressure rating for its intended use.
4.Locate the compressor according to the following guidelines:
a. Position the compressor near a grounded electrical outlet (see GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS,
above).
b.The compressor must be at least 12”(31 cm) from any wall or obstruction, in a clean,
well-ventilated area, to ensure sufficient air flow and cooling.

c.In cold climates, store portable compressors in a heated building when not in use. This will reduce
problems with motor starting and freezing of water condensation.
d. Remove the compressor from the shipping pallet orcarton and place it on the floor or ahard, level
surface. The compressor must be level to ensure proper drainage of the moisture in the tank.
5.Connect an air hose (not included) to the compressor hose outlet.
Compressor Controls
Fig 2
A. Pressure switch: This switch turns the compressor ON. It can be operated manually, but
when in the ON position, it allows the compressor to start up or shutdown automatically, without
warning, on demand. ALWAYS set this switch to OFF
B. Pressure Relief Valve: If the pressure switch does not shut down the motor when the
pressure reaches the preset level, this valve will pop open automatically to prevent
over-pressurization. To operate manually, pull the ring on the valve to relieve air pressure in the
tank.
C. Tank Pressure Gauge: This gauge measures the pressure level of the air stored in the tank.
It is not adjustable by the operator, and does not indicate line pressure.
D. Air Pressure Regulator: This air pressure regulator enables you to adjust line pressure to
the tool you are using.
WARNING! NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM WORKING PRESSURE OF THE TOOL.
TURN THE KNOB CLOCKWISE TO INCREASE PRESSURE, AND COUNTER-CLOCKWISE
TO DECREASE PRESSURE.
E. Regulated pressure gauge: This gauge measures the regulated outlet pressure.
F. Regulated pressure quick connect coupler: This coupler connects to the regulated outlet
pressure. To connect air hose, push coupler in.
To disconnect air hose, pull the coupler collar back.
Electrical Power Requirements
Electrical Wiring
Refer to the air compressor’s specifications label for the unit’s voltage and amperage requirements.
Use a dedicated circuit. For best performance and reliable starting, the air compressor must be
plugged into a dedicated circuit, as close as possible to the fuse box or circuit breaker. The
compressor will use the full capacity of a typical 15 A household circuit. If other devices are on the
same circuit, the compressor may fail to start. Low voltage or an overloaded circuit can result in
sluggish starting that causes the motor overload protection system circuit breaker to trip, especially in
cold conditions.
Manual 58-7992 V 1.7– 8 Gallon compressor
2005-7-19

Note: A circuit breaker is recommended. If the air compressor is connected to a
circuit protected by a fuse, use dual element time delay fuses (Buss Fusetron type “1”
only).
Extension Cord
Note: Avoid use of extension cords.
For optimum performance, plug the compressor power cord directly into a grounded wall socket. Do
not use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary. Instead, use a longer air hose to reach the
area where the air is needed.
If use of an extension cord cannot be avoided, the cord should be no longer than 100’ and be a
minimum wire size of 12 gauge (AWG). Do not use a 16 or 14 gauge extension cord.
Use only a three-pronged extension cord that has a 3-pronged grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle
that will accept this plug. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. An undersized
cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. The smaller
the gauge number, the heavier the cord.
Grounding Instructions
This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit or current leakage,
grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing a path for the electric current. Consult with an
electrician if necessary.
This product is equipped with a three-pronged grounded power cord and plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded accordance with all local codes and
ordinances. Never modify the plug.
WARNING! IMPROPER INSTALLATION OF THE GROUNDING PLUG
CAN RESULT IN A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. IF REPAIR OR
REPLACEMENT OF THE CORD OR PLUG IS NECESSARY, DO NOT
CONNECT THE GROUNDING WIRE TO ANY FLAT BLADE TERMINAL. THE
GROUND WIRE IS EITHER GREEN WITH OR WITHOUT YELLOW STRIPES
AND MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE "GROUND" PIN OF THE PLUG.
This product is for use on a nominal 115 V, 15 A circuit. An outlet with a grounding plug must be
used.
Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet with the same configuration as the plug. No
adaptor should be used with this product.
