ASSEMBLINGTHECOMPRESSOR
This air compressor requires some minor assemble before it can
be used. Locate the accessory pack. It should contain:
• WheelsandAxleSet
• RubberStopper
• AirFilter
• OilBreatherPlug
• ABottleofOil
1. Fit the wheels to
the unit using the axle
kit provided and insert
the rubber stopper into the
spigot on the bottom of the tank.
2. Fit the air lter to the
cylinder head.
3. Locate the plastic dust plug
in the oil breather hole and
remove it to expose the oil
breather hole.
1. Always check the oil
level in the pump before
use. When lling, ll the oil
from the oil breather hole
until the oil reaches the red
mark on the sight glass.
RecommendedCompressorOil:
Use SAE30 for temperatures over 10oand use SAE10 below 10o.
NOTE: The oil must be changed after the rst 10 hrs of operation
then every 20 hrs thereafter.
CHECKING/FILLINGTHEOIL
WARNING!
This unit is shipped with oil in the compressor pump. Oil
must be added to the unit prior to operating.
2. Check that the small hole
in the top of the breather
pipe is clear and then
insert it into the oil ller
hole.

PRE-STARTCHECKLIST
• Ensure the unit is stable in a well-ventilated dry position.
• Ensure that the drain valve is closed and all air outlets are
closed.
• Connect the power lead to the mains.
• Start the compressor by pulling on the red knob.
• Check for air leaks.
NOTE: Output ttings may differ from those shown
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The pressure in the tank is controlled by the action of the pressure
switch located under the pressure switch cover.
When the set maximum pressure is reached the pressure switch
activates and the motor is turned off. The pressure will then de-
crease as the air is used until the set minimum is reached after
which the pressure switch turns the motor on again.
The operator of the compressor should be well aware that during
use of the compressor the motor will cycle (start and stop) under
the inuence of the rising or falling pressure in the tank and the
motor will start without any warning.The maximum and minimum
pressures are factory set and should not be altered.
You can utilize either the direct outlet and/or the regulated outlet.
The pressure of the regulated outlet can be changed by turning the
control knob. Rotate the knob clockwise to increase pressure and
anti-clockwise to decrease.
EACHTIMEYOUUSETHECOMPRESSOR
Please read the owners manual thoroughly. Make sure that you
completely understand all of the safety warnings, system controls
and instructions provided before attempting to operate this air
compressor. Every effort has been made to provide you with the
information needed to obtain many years of reliable and trouble-
free service out of your new air compressor. It is your responsibility
to operate the air compressor properly. To obtain the longest pos-
sible service life from your compressor you must always keep the
following instructions in mind:
WARNING!
Use the red knob to turn the unit on and off, not the mains
switch. Turning the unit on and off from the mains only will
result in damage to the motor. Regulator Gauge

PREVENTATIVEMAINTENANCESCHEDULE
WARNING!
Before maintenance operation, stop the air compressor, disconnect the unit from the mains supply and discharge
all air in the air tank.
IMPORTANT! The pump oil must be changed after the rst 10 hours of operation. This
will remove contaminants contained in the crankcase due to break-in Recommended
Compressor Oil: Use SAE30 for temperatures over 10oC and use SAE10 below 10oC.

TROUBLESHOOTING
The following chart lists the malfunctions that occur most commonly when operating an air compressor. It
gives the symptoms, their causes and the corresponding corrective actions. In some cases, the operator or
maintenance personnel can perform the corrective actions, while others may require the assistance of a qualied
Turbo Air compressor technician or dealer.
This procedure has been written assuming that the unit has been installed correctly and has been operating &
functioning correctly. The voltage or pressure ratings listed within the troubleshooting tables are +/- 5% unless
otherwise specied. The dependent sequence of events are illustrated as they must occur. To determine where
to begin you will need to know at what mode of operation the malfunction is occurring. To accomplish this, the
operator must read and understand the instruction manual fully.
DANGER!
This unit contains lethal voltages, hazardous temperatures, dangerous pressure and moving parts which may
cause serious injury to personnel. Perform troubleshooting with extreme caution.
Problem PossibleCause PossibleSolution
Compressor does not start or restart. Power cord not plugged in. Plug cord into grounded outlet.
Motor thermal overload switch has
tripped.
Turn air compressor off, wait until
motor is cool, if motor is a manual
reset type, then press motor
thermal overload button rmly until
click is heard. (Located on motor).
Fuse blown or circuit has tripped. Replace fuse or reset circuit
breaker. Check for proper fuse.
Check for low voltage conditions.
Disconnect any other electrical
appliances from circuit or operate
air compressor on it’s own branch
circuit.
Defective motor, motor capacitor or
pressure switch.
Contact Turbo Air Service.
Tanks have air pressure in them. Bleed tanks fully.
Air compressor on unlevel surface. Do not incline air compressor more
than 10oin any direction while
running.

Ambient temperature too low. Relocate unit to warmer
environment.
Air compressor is not large enough
for air required.
Check the accessory air
requirement. If it is higher than the
CFM or pressure supply of the air
compressor, you need a larger air
compressor.
