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, ETL, CETL, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent safety
laboratories and meet the applicable Underwriters Laboratories 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 low
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.

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 illustrations). The plug must
be used with an outlet that has been installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and
ordinances.
1. The cord set and plug with this unit contains a
grounding pin. This plug MUST be used with a
grounded outlet.
Grounding
Pin
120 Volt U.S.A. Plug
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must 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.
Grounding
Pin
240 Volt U.S.A. Plug
When used outside of the United States of America a
conversion kit may be required for local use.
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.
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
Using extension cords is not recommended. The use of extension cords 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.
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 feet
• 14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number
decreases. 12 AWG, 10 AWG, and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT
USE 16 OR 18 AWG.)
A08200
10- ENG
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the Parts Manual for the voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
Certain air compressors can be operated on a 15 amp circuit if the following
conditions are met.
1. Voltage supply through branch circuit is 15 amps.
2. Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs (lights, appliances,
etc.).
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 marked "D" for Canada and "T" for 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.

OPERATION
Know Your Air Compressor
READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING
YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustrations with your unit to familiarize yourself with
the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future
reference.
Description of Operation
Become familiar with these controls before operating the unit.
On/Auto/Off Switch: Turn this switch "ON/AUTO" to provide automatic power
to the pressure switch and "OFF" to
remove power at the end of each use.
Pressure Switch: The pressure switch
On/Auto/Off
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
Safety
Valve
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).
Outlet
Pressure Gauge
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.
Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air
pressure in the tank.
Regulator: Controls the air pressure shown on the outlet pressure gauge. Pull
the knob out and turn clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to
decrease pressure. When the desired pressure is reached push knob in to lock
in place.
Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the air tank and is used
to drain condensation at the end of each use.
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.
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.
