HAZARD
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 condi-
tions, 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.
• Modifications or attempted
repairs to the air tank. • Never drill into, weld, or make any modifications to the air tank or its
attachments. Never attempt to
repair a damaged or leaking air
tank. Replace with a new air tank.
• Unauthorized modifications
to the safety valve or any
other components which
control air tank pressure.
• The air tank is designed to withstand
specific operating pressures.
Never make adjustments or parts
substitutions to alter the factory
set operating pressures.
• High vibration or impact forces
can weaken tank structure. • Do not permanently mount the compressor in a motor vehicle, trailer
or other location where tank may be
subjected to vibration or impact.
Attachments & accessories:
• Exceeding the pressure
rating of air tools, spray guns,
air operated accessories,
tires, and other inflatables
can cause them to explode
or fly apart, and could
result in serious injury.
• Follow the equipment manufacturers
recommendation and never exceed
the maximum allowable pressure
rating of attachments. Never use
compressor to inflate small low
pressure objects such as children’s
toys, footballs, basketballs, etc.

5 - ENG
Tires:
• Over inflation of tires could
result in serious injury
and property damage.
• Use a tire pressure gauge to check
the tires pressure before each use
and while inflating tires; see the tire
sidewall for the correct tire pressure.
NOTE: Air tanks, compressors and similar
equipment used to inflate tires can fill
small tires very rapidly. Adjust pressure
regulator on air supply to no more than
the rating of the tire pressure. Add air
in small increments and frequently use
the tire gauge to prevent over inflation.

GLOSSARY
Become familiar with these terms before operating the unit.
CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.
PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of pressure.
Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of the following marks: UL®,
CUL, CULUS, ETL®, CETL, CETLUS, have been evaluated by OSHA certified
independent safety laboratories and meet the applicable Standards for Safety.
Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you continue
to use your accessory. When the tank pressure drops to a certain lower level the
motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor automatically
restarts is called "cut-in" pressure.
Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run, air
pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before
the motor automatically shuts off, protecting your air tank from pressure higher
than its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called "cut-out"
pressure.
Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.
DUTY CYCLE
This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously. However, to
prolong the life of your air compressor, it is recommended that a 50%-75%
average duty cycle be maintained; that is, the air compressor pump should not
run more than 30-45 minutes in any given hour.
ACCESSORIES
Accessories for this unit are available at the store the unit was purchased.
The use of any other accessory not recommended for use with
this tool could be hazardous. Use only accessories rated equal to or higher

INSTALLATION
HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT
Location of the Air Compressor
• Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area.
• The air compressor should be located at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from the
wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air.
• The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling.
The ventilation openings on the compressor are necessary to maintain proper
operating temperature. Do not place rags or other containers on or near these
openings.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. In the event of a short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This air compressor must be properly grounded.
The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with
an appropriate grounding plug (see following illustrations).
1. The cord set and plug with this unit contains a grounding pin. This plug
MUST be used with a grounded outlet.
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must
Grounded
Outlets
Plug
Grounding Pin
be installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
2. Make sure the outlet being used
has the same configuration as the
grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN
ADAPTER. See illustration.
3. Inspect the plug and cord before each
use. Do not use if there are signs of damage.
4. If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as
to whether the compressor is properly grounded, have the installation checked
by a qualified electrician.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN
RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, a correct
outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician.
Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified electrician.
EXTENSION CORDS
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
• a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot
receptacle that will accept the plug on the product
• in good condition
• no longer than 50' (15.2 m)
• 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number decreases.
10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 14 OR 16 AWG.)

10 - ENG
Risk of Property Damage. The use of an undersized extension cord
will cause voltage to drop resulting in power loss to the motor and overheating.
Instead of using an extension cord, increase the working reach of the air hose by
attaching another length of hose to its end. Attach additional lengths of hose as
needed.
VOLTAGE AND CIRCUIT PROTECTION
Refer to the Specification Chart for the voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
Risk of Opertion. Certain air compressors can be operated on a 15
amp circuit if the following conditions are met.
1. Voltage supply to circuit must comply with the National Electrical Code.
2. Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs.
3. Extension cords comply with specifications.
4. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp time delay fuse.
NOTE: If compressor is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use only
time delay fuses. Time delay fuses should be marked "D" in Canada and "T"
in the US.
If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the compressor
repeatedly causes interruption of the power, it may be necessary to operate it from
a 20 amp circuit. It is not necessary to change the cord set.
Transporting
When transporting the compressor in a vehicle, trailer, etc., make sure the tank
is drained and the unit is secured with straps to prevent tipping. Use care when
driving to prevent tipping the unit over in the vehicle. Damage can occur to the
compressor or surrounding items if the compressor is tipped.

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
Become familiar with these controls before operating the unit.
On(I)/Off(O) Switch: Place this switch 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 will protect against high pressure by
"popping out" at its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch
"cut-out" setting).
Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air
pressure in the tank.
Outlet Pressure Gauge: The outlet pressure gauge indicates the air pressure
available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the
regulator and is always less than or equal to the tank pressure.
Regulator: Controls the air pressure shown on the outlet pressure gauge. Turn
regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease
pressure.
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): 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.
Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the
Drain
Valve
air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of
each use.

12 - ENG
Check Valve: 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.
Motor Overload Protector (not shown): The motor has an automatic reset
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. The compressor will automatically restart after the motor cools.
Quick-Connect Coupler: The quick connect coupler accepts industrial quick
connect plugs. The two quick connect couplers allow the use of two tools at the
same time.
