1. INSTALLATION AND LOCATION CAUTION The compressor must be run with the rubber feet resting on a flat and stable horizontal surface The air compressor must be used in a clean and well ventilated area The com pressor requires an unobstructed airflow and must be located a minimum of 20 inches from any walls or other obstructions that may prevent proper ventilation DO NOT place air compressor in an area e Where there is evidence of oil or gas leaks e Where flammable gas vapors or materials may be present e Where air temperatures fall below 32 F 0 C exceed 104 F 40 C e Where extremely dirty air or water could be drawn into the air compressor 4 WARNING Serious injury or death may occur if electrical sparks from motor and pressure switch come in contact with flammable vapors combustible dust gases or other combustible materials When using the air compressor for spraying paint place the air compressor as far away from the work area as possible using extra lengths of air hose to extend the work ing reach instead of extension cords GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS This product should be grounded In the event of an electrical short circuit ground ing reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is prop e2. UTO position Once the tank has reached the desired preset pressure cut out pressure the pump motor will automatically shut off While the switch is in the ON AUTO position the pump motor will automatically turn back on once the pressure in the tank drops below the minimum preset pressure cut in pressure 4 WARNING Do not leave the compressor unattended while the power switch is in the on auto position Unplug power cord when not in use 2 AIR TANK PRESSURE GAUGE The tank pressure gauge provides a reading of the air pressure inside of the compressor tank 11 3 OUTLET PRESSURE GAUGE The outlet pressure gauge provides a reading of the air pressure at the outlet side of the regulator This pressure is controlled by the pressure regulator and is always less than or equal to the air tank pressure 4 AIR COUPLER The air coupler is preinstalled into standard 1 4 inch 635 cm NPT F threads in the pressure manifold Use PTFE thread sealing tape on the threads to make sure you have an airtight connection when replacing quick connect coupler 5 PRESSURE REGULATOR The regulator allows you to select the amount of air pressure that is output through the air hose into tools and accessories Turn the pressure regulator knob clockwise to increase discharge pressure and counter clockwise to decrease discharge pressure Please refer to the air delivery requirements of your tools for the proper pressure setting
3. r outdoor use These cords are identi fied by a marking ACCEPTABLE FOR USE WITH OUTDOOR APPLIANCES STORE INDOORS WHEN NOT IN USE Examine extension cord before use DO NOT USE DAMAGED EXTENSION CORDS Do not pull on cord to disconnect from receptacle always disconnect by pulling on plug Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges Always shut OFF the air compressor AUTO ON pressure switch before unplugging the compressor Always disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle before disconnecting the product from the extension cord 4 WARNING avoid electrical shock hazard Never use this compres sor with a damaged or frayed electrical cord or extension cord Inspect all electrical cords regularly Never use in or near water or in any environment where electric shock is possible To reduce the risk of electrocution keep all connections dry and off the ground Do not touch the plug with wet hands 10 Guard against electrical shock Avoid body contact with grounded services such as pipes ovens stoves and refrigerator enclosures If not properly grounded this air compressor can incur the potential hazard of light trickle shock particularly when used in damp locations If electrical shock occurs there is the potential of second ary hazard such as your hands contacting an operating air tool COMPRESSOR FEATURES COMPRESSOR FEATURES 1 ON OFF SWITCH The compressor will only run when the switch is in the ON A
4. rician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded Do not modify the plug provided if it will not fit the out let have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician EXTENSION CORDS A CAUTION THE USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS PRODUCT IS NOT RECOM MENDED as this can result in the loss of power to your air compressor which can prevent the motor from starting or running properly This can also cause your fuse to blow or circuit breaker to trip Running your air compressor on an undersized extension cord will cause permanent damage to internal switches and overheating of the electric motor Use an additional length of air hose rather than an extension cord If you must use an extension cord it should be plugged into a GFCI found in circuit boxes or protected receptacles Use only UL listed 3 wire extension cords that have a 3 blade grounding plug and a 3 slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product Make sure your extension cord is in good condition When using an exten sion cord be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw Refer to the guide on the next page for minimum gauge required for exten sion cords EXTENSION CORD LENGTH WIRE SIZE AWG Up to 25 Feet 14 26 to 50 Feet 12 51 to 100 Feet Do Not Use Use only extension cords that are intended fo

6. s NOTE Be careful not to overtighten pressure regulator knob when it bottoms out as this may damage pressure regulator 6 AIR TANK DRAIN VALVE Moisture is produced whenever air is compressed It is Critical to drain water from the air tank on this compressor frequently If unit is used only occasionally tank should be drained after each use and prior to the next use To drain the tank slowly open the tank drain fitting by turning counter clockwise Once all moisture has drained out close the fitting securely NOTE Air tank will not pressurize while drain valve is open 7 SAFETY RELIEF VALVE This compressor is equipped with a safety relief valve that is designed to prevent system failures by relieving pressure from the sys tem when the air pressure reaches a predetermined level The safety relief valve is preset by the manufacturer DO NOT attempt to modify or remove the safety relief valve 8 CARRY HANDLE Convenient handle for easy transport 12
