BREATHABLE AIR WARNING
This compressor/pump is not equipped and should not be used “as is” to supply breathing quality
air. For any application of air for human consumption, the air compressor/pump will need to be
fitted with suitable in-line safety and alarm equipment. This additional equipment is necessary to
properly filter and purify the air to meet minimal specifications for Grade D breathing as described
in Compressed Gas Association Commodity Specification G 7.1, OSHA 29 CFR 1910. 134, and/or
Canadian Standards Associations (CSA).
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
In the event the compressor is used for the purpose of breathing air application and proper in-line
safety and alarm equipment is not simultaneously used, existing warranties shall be voided, and the
manufacturer
disclaims any liability whatsoever for any loss, personal injury or damage.

Wiring must be installed in accordance with National Electrical Code and local codes and standards that have
been set up covering electrical apparatus and wiring. These should be consulted and local ordinances observed.
Be certain that adequate wire sizes are used, and that:
1. Service is of adequate ampere rating.
2. The supply line has the same electrical characteristics (voltage, cycles and phase) as the motor. Refer to
motor name plate for electrical ratings and specifications.
3. The line wire is the proper size and that no other equipment is operated from the same line. The chart gives
minimum recommended wire sizes for compressor installations.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Grounding
Improperly grounded electrical
components are shock hazards.
Make sure all the components are properly
grounded to prevent death or serious injury.
This product must be grounded. Grounding reduces the
risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for
the electric current if short circuit occurs. This product
must be installed and operated with a power cord or
cable that has a grounding wire.
Breakers and Fuses
The entire electrical system should be checked by a
certified electrician. Time delay breakers and fuses are
required for this compressor. A tripped breaker or blown
fuses may indicate a direct short to ground, high current
draw, improper wiring, incorrect fuse or breaker size
and/or type. This needs to be evaluated by a certified
electrician.

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS
Disconnect, tag and lock out power source then release all pressure from the
system before attempting to install, service, relocate or perform any maintenance.
In order to maintain efficient operation of the compressor system, check the air filter and oil level before each
use. The ASME safety valve should also be checked daily (see Figure 10). Pull ring on safety valve and allow the
ring to snap back to normal position. This valve automatically releases air if the tank pressure exceeds the preset
maximum. If air leaks after the ring has been released, or the valve is stuck and cannot be actuated by the ring,
the ASME safety valve must be replaced.
Figure 10 - ASME Safety Valve
Do not tamper with the ASME safety valve.
Tank
Never attempt to repair or modify a tank! Welding, drilling or any other
modification will weaken the tank resulting in damage from rupture or explosion.
Always replace worn, cracked or damaged tanks.
TROUBLESHOOTINGOPERATION
Drain liquid from tank daily.
The tank should be carefully inspected at a minimum of once a year. Look for cracks forming near the welds. If a
crack is detected, remove pressure from tank immediately and replace.
Compressor Lubrication
See Installation. Add oil as required. The oil should be changed every three months or after every 500 hours of
operation; whichever comes first.
If the compressor is running under humid conditions for short periods of time, the humidity will condense in the
crankcase and cause the oil to look creamy. Oil contaminated by condensed water will not provide adequate
lubrication and must be changed immediately. Using contaminated oil will damage bearings, pistons, cylinders
and rings and is not covered under warranty. To avoid water condensation in the oil, periodically run the
compressor with tank pressure near 150 psi for two-stage compressors or 120 psi for single stage compressors
by opening the drain cock or an air valve connected to the tank or hose. Run the pump for an hour at a time at
least once a week or more often if the condensation reoccurs.
IMPORTANT: Change oil after first 50 hours of operation.
Air Filter
Never run the compressor pump without an intake air filter or with
a clogged intake air filter. The air filter element should be checked
monthly (see Figure 11). Operating compressor with a dirty filter can
cause high oil consumption and increase oil contamination in the
discharge air. If the air filter is dirty it must be replaced.
