exploded view & explanation of air compressor features
AIR TANK DRAIN VALVE: The drain valve is used to remove moisture from the air tank(s) after the air compressor is shut off. NEVER attempt to open the drain valve when more than 10 PSI of air pressure is in the air tank! To open the drain valve, turn the knob counterclockwise.
OIL SIGHT GLASS: The Oil Sight Glass displays the oil level in the pump. The oil level should be at the center of the Oil Sight Glass. If low, add SAE 30W non-detergent oil.
OIL FILL PORT/VENT: Pour oil into the Oil Fill Port/Vent when required.
AIR INTAKE FILTER: This filter is designed to clean air coming into the pump. To ensure the pump continually receives a clean, cool, dry air supply this filter must always be clean and ventilation opening free from obstructions. Replace filter element when necessary.
AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP: To compress air, the pistons move up and down in the cylinders. On the downstroke, air is drawn in through the air intake valves while the exhaust valves remain closed. On the upstroke, air is compressed, the intake valves close and compressed air is forced out through the exhaust valves, into the discharge line, through the check valve and/or the pilot valve and into the air tank.
MOTOR/PRESSURE SWITCH: This switch is used to start or stop the air compressor. Moving the switch to the "Auto" (On) position will provide automatic power
to the pressure switch which will allow the motor to start when the air tank pressure is below the factory set "cut-in" pressure. When in the Start/Stop Option, the pressure
switch stops the motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory set "cut-out" pressure. For safety purposes, this switch also has a pressure release valve located
on the side of the switch designed to automatically release compressed air from the air compressor pump head and its discharge line when the air compressor reaches
"cut-out" pressure or is shut off. This allows the motor to restart freely. Moving the switch to the "Off" position will remove power from the pressure switch and stop the air compressor.
SAFETY RELIEF VALVE: This valve is designed to prevent system failures by relieving pressure from the system when the compressed air reaches a predetermined level. The valve is preset by the manufacturer and must not be modified in any way. To verify the valve is working properly, pull on the ring. Air pressure should escape. When the ring is released, it will reseat.
AIR TANK PRESSURE GAUGE: The air tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pressure in the air tank.
STARTER: the Motor starter provides thermal overload protection. The starter is required from on motors 5 Hp and above.

THE FOLLOWING PAGES CONTAIN OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS.
do not attempt to operate this AIR COMPRESSOR until you have read and understood all safety precautions and instructions listed in this manual.
incorrect operation of this unit can cause serious injury!!
do not alter or modify this equipment in any manner!

WARNING 
RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH!
Do not allow the motor or Motor/ Pressure Switch to come in contact with flammable vapors, combustible dust, gases or other combustiblematerials. Anelectric spark may cause an explosion or fire.
When using the air compressor for spray painting, place the air compressor as far away from the work area as possible.
preparation INSTRUCTIONS
INITIAL SET-UP:
1.Read safety warnings before setting-up air compressor.
2.Ensure the oil level in the air compressor pump is adequate. If low, add SAE-30W non-detergent oil.
LOCATION:
1.In order to avoid damaging the air compressor, do not incline the air compressor transversely or longitudinally more than 10°.
2.Place air compressor on a concrete surface at least 12 inches away from obstacles that may prevent proper ventilation. Place the flywheel side of the unit toward the wall. Do not place air compressor in an area:
-where there is evidence of oil or gas leaks.
-where flammable gas vapors or materials may be present.
-where air temperatures fall below 32°F or exceed 104°F.
-where extremely dirty air or water could be drawn into the air compressor.
3.Distribute air compressor weight evenly. Excessive vibration can weaken the air tank creating a hazard of explosion.
4.Bolt the air compressor to the concrete surface.
a.Mark the areas through the feet of the air compressor where anchor bolts will be placed.
b.Move the air compressor and drill holes in the marked areas to accept the anchor bolts.
c.With the nut attached, pound the anchor bolts into the pre-drilled holes.
d.Remove the nuts and place the air compressor over the anchor bolts.
e.Replace and tighten the nuts.
