ELECTRICAL SAFETY

Grounded compressors must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and1.

grounded in accordance with all codes and ordinances. Never remove the

grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs.

Check with a qualied electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet

is properly grounded. If the compressors should electrically malfunction or break

down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry electricity away from the

user.

Do not expose compressors to rain or wet conditions.2. Water entering an elec-

tric motor will increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not abuse the Power Cord.3. Never use the Power Cord to pull the Plug from

an outlet. Keep the Power Cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving

parts. Replace damaged Power Cords immediately. Damaged Power Cords

increase the risk of electric shock.

AN EXTENSION CORD MUST4. NEVER BE USED WITH THIS ITEM. Connecting

this item to an outlet through an extension cord MAY CAUSE ELECTRICAL

DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR and could present a FIRE HAZARD.

Always unplug the air compressor, and release the air pressure when not in use.5.

PERSONAL SAFETY

Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense during use. Do1.

not use while tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A

moment of inattention while operating may result in serious personal injury.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.2.

Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,

jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

Avoid accidental starting.3. Be sure the Power Switch is turned off before plug-

ging in. Plugging in compressors with the Power Switch on, invites accidents.

Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning the compressor on.4. A

wrench or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the compressor may result

in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.5.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.6. Make sure you are wearing

your protective clothing, safety glasses with side shields and dust mask or air respi-

rator, if appropriate.

TOOL USE AND CARE

Do not force the compressor. Use the correct compressor for your applica-1.

tion. The correct compressor will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it

is designed. Never attempt to force the compressor to provide more pressure than it

was designed for.

Do not use the compressor if the Power Switch does not turn it on or turn it2.

off. Any compressor that cannot be controlled with the Power Switch is dangerous

and must be repaired or replaced.

Disconnect the Power Cord Plug from the power source before making any ad-3.

justments, changing accessories, or storing the compressor. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the compressor accidentally.

Keep idle compressors out of reach of children and other untrained persons.4.

Compressors are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain compressors with care. Keep all components of this product clean5.

and dry. Do not use a damaged compressor. Tag damaged compressors “Do not

use” until repaired.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any6.

other condition that may affect the compressor’s operation. If damaged, have

the compressor serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained compressors.

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your7.

model. Accessories that may be suitable for one compressor may become hazard-

ous when used on another compressor.

SERVICE

Compressor service must be performed only by qualied repair personnel. 1.

Service or maintenance performed by unqualied personnel could result in a risk of

injury.

When servicing a compressor, use only identical replacement parts. Follow2.

instructions in the “Inspection, Maintenance, And Cleaning” section of this

manual. Use of unauthorized parts or failure to follow maintenance instructions may

create a risk of electric shock or injury.

SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES

CAUTION! Prior to its1. rst use, and thereafter prior to each subsequent use,

make sure to ll the Air Compressor with a premium quality, 30 weight, non-

detergent compressor oil to the specied level. Running the Air Compressor

with no oil or with low oil will cause damage to the equipment and void its warranty.

with oil.

When lling the Air Compressor with oil, make sure to 2. unscrew (do not pull)

the Oil Fill Cap to remove.

SKU 94734 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 5

Use eye and ear protection.3. Always wear ANSI-approved safety impact eye gog-

gles, and ear plugs when using the Air Compressor.

Make sure all tools and equipment used with the Air Compressor are rated to4.

the appropriate air pressure capacity of the Air Compressor. Do not use any

tool or equipment that does not operate from 0-120 PSI. If necessary, check the

owner’s manual of the tool or equipment for its air pressure rating.

Always disconnect the Air Compressor from its electrical outlet, release any5.

remaining air pressure from the unit, and disconnect all pneumatic tools and

equipment from the unit, before performing any services or maintenance, or

when not in use.

Avoid injury. Never direct the air jet at people or animals.6.

Inspect safety valve daily7. . If the safety valve is not working properly, tank pressure

can build up to dangerous levels. The tank could explode. For this reason, pull the

ring on the safety valve before each use and verify that it operates freely. Replace

safety valve if it does not operate freely.

Never remove or alter the factory sealed Safety Release Valve.

Do not attempt to readjust the automatic start and shutoff valves.8. Any change

to the automatic ON/OFF pressure levels will cause additional stress on the motor,

which may result in shortened motor life.

Drain the Air Compressor’s air tank every day.9. Do not allow moisture to build up

inside the Air Tank.

Do not unscrew the tank drain valve so that10. more than four threads are show-

ing.

Avoid risk of tank explosion11. .

Avoid weakening of tank by draining condensation after each use.a.

Never modify tank by drilling holes, welding to it, or modifying it’s parts.b.

The tank is designed, and factory set, to operate within a specic pressure range. c.

For that reason, never make adjustments to, or substitute parts, to the compres-

sor.

Avoid bodily injury from moving parts12. . The compressor cycles on automatically,

without notice. For this reason, always keep hands and arms away from compressor

parts when the unit is connected to electrical power. Always have compressor safety

guards in place before turning compressor on.

Use approved air hose13. . Never use plastic or PVC pipe (unless specied for Air

Compressors) to carry air under pressure. Regardless of its pressure rating, it can

burst under pressure.

Never plug the power cord of this product into an electrical outlet while stand-14.

SETUP

Dipstick

Warning: Fill compressor with oil before using; running with NO OIL or with LOW

OIL will void the warranty. The optimal capacity of the oil reservoir is 7.8 ounces of

oil.

The Dipstick is used to determine if oil is needed. Never operate the compressor with-

out sufcient oil. Use a 30 weight, non-detergent compressor oil. To check the oil:

1. Unscrew the Dipstick.

2. Check the level of the oil. There are two lines on the bottom of the Dipstick. The oil

level should be somewhere between the two lines, as high as possible.

3. Add oil through the Dipstick’s hole as necessary, but do not overll. Always use a high

grade oil specially designed for air compressors. Never mix oils of different types.

Never use a low quality oil which may not afford adequate lubrication.

4. Replace the Dipstick.

Install an Air Intake Filter and Hose (not included)

The lter and oiler (not supplied) are recommended but not mandatory for operation.

1. Remove and discard the plastic cap which covers the threaded hole at the top of the

Cylinder Case (B-6).

2. Screw the threaded part of the air lter assembly into the Cylinder Case until it is rmly

seated.

3. Connect the air tool, air hoses, lter, and oiler to the Compressor Air Output as

illustrated on the next page.

If the lter and oiler are not used, connect the air hose directly to the 1/4 inch NPT

barbed connector located at the Air Flow Valve (A-8). For easy connection or removal,

a quick coupler should be installed on the end of the air output.

Note: Use pipe thread seal tape on all threaded connections.

OPERATION

CAUTION! Prior to use, inspect the compressor for any damaged parts or unsafe con-

ditions. Make any necessary repairs before using again.

Turning Compressor On

1. Verify Tank Drain Valve (A-7) is closed.

2. Verify oil level is correct.

3. Verify that the Safety Valve (A-4) is operational.

4. Turn the Air Flow Valve (A-8) to the OFF position.

5. Plug the power cord into an electrical grounded 115 Volt AC electrical receptacle.

6. Rotate the Power Switch (A-5) to the Vertical position to turn the air compressor on.

Rotate that same switch to the horizontal position to turn it off. See page 10.

Note: Allow the pressure to build up to at least 80 PSI before using air.

Note: Motor will not start if tank pressure is already between 80-115 PSI. Pressure MUST

be below 80 PSI for motor to restart and build up pressure to the 115 PSI cut off

pressure.

7. Open the Air Flow Valve (A-8) and check for air leaks.

The operation of the compressor is automatic, as controlled by the internal pressure

switch. When the pressure drops below its operating range the compressor turns on.

When the pressure is above 115 PSI, the compressor shuts off.

Warning; The compressor will become very hot during operation. Do not touch the

cylinder area of the compressor, or allow ammable materials to come in contact with

the cylinder area.

Adjusting Pressure Gauge and Pressure Adjustment Screw

Caution: The Pressure Switch is adjustable but changes to the pressure levels are not

recommended; any change to the automatic ON/OFF pressure levels will cause addi-

tional stress on the motor which may shorten motor life.

Adjusting Air Output

1. When the Air Flow Valve (A-8) is to the right or left, the valve is closed. When it is in

the middle, it is open.

2. Turn the Air Flow Valve to the appropriate pressure.

MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Do not make any repairs, adjustments, or maintenance on the air compressor

unless it is disconnected from the electrical power and the tank pressure is released.

Maintenance should always be performed by a qualied technician.

1. Check the oil level before each use. If the oil is low, add some. If it is high, drain some

by removing the Drain Plug. Replace the oil once a year.

2. Check and clean the Air Filter (B-5) every 50 hours, or sooner if used in a dusty

environment.

3. Drain the air tanks after each use by opening the drain petcock or the Tank Drain

Valve (A-7). Leave open until the next use.

4. After the compressor has cooled down, clean it with a damp rag containing mild

detergent and water. Do not use ammable liquids or solvents.
