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 and motor will get hot while in
operation. Never touch the discharge tubing, motor
or compressor pump while in operation. The
compressor operates automatically while the power is connected and
turned on.
WARNING
CAUTION
AIR RECEIVER
Over pressurizing the air receiver could cause personal injury or material
damage. To protect from over pressurizing, a factory pre-set safety valve
is installed.
Any replacement parts should be purchased with the same specica-
tions as the original equipment. Please contact the authorized dealer for
replacement parts or specications.
NEVER WELD, DRILL OR CHANGE
THE AIR RECEIVER IN ANY WAY
SAFETY VALVE
This valve is factory installed to prevent over pressurizing of the air
receiver. It is factory set at a specic limit for your particular model, and
should never be tampered with.
DO NOT REMOVE,
MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO
OR SUBSTITUTE THIS VALVE!
Adjustment by user will automatically void the warranty.
Compressed air from the unit may contain hazard-
ous fumes. Air produced by this compressor is not
suitable for breathing purposes. Always use a res-
pirator 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.

INSTALLATION & OPERATION
INSTALLATION
Proper care, maintenance and lubrication ensures longevity. The com-
pressor should always be level for proper lubrication. Use only in a clean,
dry, and well-ventilated area. The compressor has heat dissipation ns
for proper cooling. Keep the ns 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 re hazard.
MOUNTING
Mount the compressor on a concrete pad or solid oor, making certain
that the air receiver feet are level and that no stress is placed on the legs
when the mounting nuts, if used, are tightened, shim feet if necessary.
Severe vibrations will result when feet are uneven and drawn tightly to
the oor, which can lead to welds cracking or fatigue failure of the air
receiver.
ALMOST ALL WELD CRACKS OR
FATIGUE FAILURES ARE CAUSED
BY IMPROPER INSTALLATION
AND ARE NOT COVERED
BY WARRANTY.
WIRING
REGULATIONS REQUIRE THAT ALL
WIRING BE DONE BY A LICENSED
ELECTRICIAN, FAILURE TO DO SO
COULD VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
A) Single phase models with factory installed wiring between the
electric motor and the pressure switch, - do not require a mag-
netic starter.
B) Single phase models which are not pre wired between pressure
switch and motor require a magnetic starter or combo switch.
C) Three phase models require magnetic starters or combi-pressure
switches and are not factory Pre-wired in any way.

ditives to help minimize carbon build-up, increase ring life and reduce oil
consumption, for use at ambient temperatures of 0° to 30°C
(32°F - 86°F).
OTHER APPROVED OILS.
Regular mineral oils can also be used in the compressor.
Always use a non-detergent oil with the following specications:
AMBIENT TEMPERATURES AT
POINT OF OPERATION
SAE VISCOSITY ISO VISCOSITY
-16°C TO 0°C (3.2°F - 32°F) SAE 10W ISO 32
1°C TO 26°C (33.8°F - 78.8°F) SAE 20W ISO 68
ABOVE 27°C (80.6°F) SAE 30W ISO 100
FILLING THE COMPRESSOR WITH OIL
1) Remove the oil ller plug
2) Slowly pour the proper oil into the pump crankcase.
3) Always keep oil level in the middle of the sight glass.

MAINTENANCE
Before doing any maintenance or adjustments to your air compressor,
the following safety precautions should be taken:
INSTALLATION & OPERATION
►TURN OFF AND LOCK OUT ELECTRIC POWER.
►DRAIN AIR RECEIVER AND AIR LINES OF AIR PRESSURE.
CHECKING BELT TENSION (If belt driven)
Adjust belt(s) so when pressure is applied at the center, there is approxi-
mately 1/2” slack (see diagram “Figure A” below).
Centre Distance
Too Loose
Too Tight
Slight Bow
Correct Tension
If the belt is in-
stalled too tight,
the motor might be
overloaded. This
will cause the mo-
tor to overheat. If
the belt is installed
too loosely, it will
slip and excessive
wear and vibration
will occur.
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 recommend-
ed tension as shown in diagram (Figure A.)
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.

OPERATING YOUR AIR COMPRESSOR
EXTRA CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN
TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURIES
WITH AUTOMATIC CONTROLLED
COMPRESSORS.
1) Check unit for any damage. All compressors are tested and in-
spected at the factory and supplied in perfect condition.
Any damage is the freight carriers’ responsibility and you must
notify the freight company immediately upon discovering any
damage, and submit a claim. Ensure you have documented the
damage on the waybill receipt if possible.
2) Check compressor installation and wiring
3) Turn on electric power and turn pressure switch knob to “auto”.
Compressor should start running and air pressure should build
up in the air receiver as evidenced by the air receiver pressure
gauge. Make sure drain valve and outlet valve are closed.
4) When air receiver pressure reaches the pressure switch cut-out
pressure, the compressor should stop automatically and you
are now ready to start using the compressed air. As air is used,
the pressure in the air receiver will drop and cause the pressure
switch to close and this will automatically start the compressor.
5) The compressor will cycle automatically until you are nished
using compressed air and the pressure switch knob is switched
to “off”.
DO NOT LEAVE THE POWER TO
THE COMPRESSOR OVERNIGHT
OR CONNECTED WHEN UNIT IS
UNATTENDED
