Safety definitions
The information listed below should be read and understood by the
operator. This information is given to protect the user while operating
and storing the air compressor.The symbols below are used to allow
the reader to recognize important information about their safety.
Danger: indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, will result in serious injury or even death.
Warning: indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Caution: indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
Duty cycle
This air compressor pump should not run more than 30 minutes of
one hour. if the pump runs more than the 50% of the duty cycle then
the air requirement is greater than that which is supplied by the unit.
Description of operation
Drain valve:
Used to drain condensation from the air tank; located at bottom of
tank.
Motor thermal overload:
The motor has an automatic thermal overload protector. If the motor
overheats, this protector will shut off the motor.The motor must be
allowed 30 minutes to cool. Press the reset building before restarting.
Pressure switch:
This controls the power to the motor and also the cut-in /cut-out
pressure settings. This switch serves as the auto-on/off positions for
the unit.

Air intake filter:
Provides clean air to the pump and must always be kept free of
debris. Check on a daily basis or before each use.
Air compressor pump:
Oil lubricated direct driven pump that compresses air which is
distributed to the tank.
Check valve:
When the pump is not in operation the valve closes to retain air
pressure inside the tank; an internal component.
Pressure relief valve:
The pressure relief valve located on the side of the pressure switch, is
designed to automatically release compressed air, when the air
compressor reaches cut-out pressure. The released air should only
escape momentarily and the valve should then close.
Tank safety valve:
Used to allow excess tank pressure to escape into the atmosphere.
This valve should only open when the tank pressure is above the
maximum rated pressure. If this occurs, the compressor will require
service.
Outlet pressure gauge:
Indicates the outgoing air pressure to the tool and is controlled by the
regulator.
Tank pressure gauge:
Indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank.
Regulator:
The air pressure coming from the air tank is controlled by the
regulator. To increase the pressure turn the knob clockwise and to
decrease the pressure turn the knob counterclockwise.

Warning:
Improper operation or maintenance of this product could result in
serious injury and/or property damage. Read and understand all of the
warnings and safety instructions provided before using this
equipment.
Caution:
The air compressor should be operated on a dedicated 15 amp circuit.
If the circuit does not have 15 free amps available, a larger circuit
must be used. Always use more air hose before utilizing extension
cords. All extension cords used must be 12 gauge with a maximum
length of 25 ft. The circuit fuse type must be a time delay, low
voltage could cause damage to the motor.
Risk of moving parts:
If the air compressor is in operation, all guards and covers should be
attached or installed correctly. If any guard or cover has been
damaged, do not operate the equipment until the proper personnel has
correctly repaired the equipment. The power cord should be free of
any moving parts, twisting and /or crimping while in use and while in
storage.
Risk of burns:
There are surfaces on your air compressor that while in operation and
thereafter can cause serious burns if touched. The equipment should
be allowed time to cool before any maintenance is attempted. Items
such as the compressor pump and the outlet tube are normally hot
during and after operation.
Risk of falling:
Operation of the air compressor should always be in a position that is
stable. Never use the air compressor on a rooftop or elevated position
that could allow the unit to fall or be tipped over. Use additional air
hose for elevated jobs.

Risk from flying objects:
always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses with side shields
when the air compressor is in use. turn off the air compressor and
drain the air tank before performing any type of maintenance or
disassembly of the hoses or fittings. never point any nozzle or sprayer
toward any part of the body or at other people or animals.
Risk to breathing:
avoid using the air compressor in confined areas. always have
adequate space ( 12 inches ) on all sides of the air compressor. also
keep children , pets , and others out of the area of operation. this air
compressor does not provide breathable air for anyone or any
auxiliary breathing device. spraying material will always need to be
in another area away from the air compressor to not allow intake air
to damage the air compressor filter.
Risk of electrical shock :
Never utilize the air compressor in the rain or wet conditions. any
electrical issues or repairs should be performed by authorized
personnel such as an electrician and should comply with all nation
and local electrical codes. the air compressor should also have the
proper three prong grounding plug , correct voltage , and adequate
fuse protection.
Risk of explosion or fire:
never operate the compressor near combustible materials , gasoline or
solvent vapors. if spraying flammable materials , locate the air
compressor at least 20 feet away from the spray area. never operate
the air compressor indoors or in a confined area.
Risk of bursting:
always drain the air compressor tank daily or after each use. if the
tank develops a leak , then replace the air compressor. never use the
air compressor after a leak has been found or try to make any
modifications to the tank. never modify the air compressor’s factory
settings which control the tank pressure or any other function.
