Pressure Switch - Auto/Off Switch - In the “AUTO” position, the compressor shuts off automatically when
tank pressure reaches the maximum preset pressure. In the “OFF” position, the compressor will not operate.
This switch should be in the “OFF” position when connecting or disconnecting the power cord from the
electrical outlet.
GETTING STARTED
SPECIFICATIONS
INSTALLATION
Regulator - The regulator controls the amount of air pressure at the hose outlet.
ASME Safety Valve - This valve automatically releases air if the tank pressure exceeds the preset
maximum.
Exhaust Tube - This tube carries compressed air from the pump to the check valve. This tube becomes very
hot during use. To avoid the risk of severe burns, never touch the discharge tube.
Check Valve - One-way valve that allows air to enter the tank, but prevents air in the tank from flowing
back into the compressor pump.
Handle - Designed to move the compressor.
Drain Valve - This valve is located on the bottom of the tank. Use this valve to drain moisture from the
tank daily to reduce the risk of corrosion.
Pressure Gauges - These gauges will show air pressure in the compressor tank and at the compressor
outlet.
Outlet Pressure Gauge - Will show air pressure at the outlet in pounds per square inch (psi). Make sure
this gauge reads ZERO (by adjusting regulator knob fully counterclockwise) before changing air tools or
disconnecting air hose from outlet.
Tank Pressure Gauge - Will show air pressure in tank while the compressor is running, indicating
compressor is building pressure properly. This gauge will show maximum pressure of compressor when it
shuts off automatically at the pressure switch.
Never use the handle on wheeled units to lift the unit completely off the ground.
Motor Reset - (not shown, located inside motor). Designed to keep the motor from overheating. The
motor has an auto reset protector. To reset once the motor has cooled, turn the pressure switch to the OFF
position, then to the AUTO position.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Location
It is extremely important to install the compressor in a clean, dry, and well ventilated area. The compressor
must be placed on a firm, level surface where the surrounding air temperature will not be more than 100°F.
A minimum clearance of 18 inches between the compressor and a wall is required because objects could
obstruct air flow.
Do not locate the compressor air inlet near steam, paint spray, sandblast areas or any other
source of contamination. This debris will damage the motor.
Electrical Installation
All wiring and electrical connections should be performed by a qualified electrician.
Installation must be in accordance with local codes and national electrical codes.
Wiring
1. Local electrical wiring codes differ from area to area. Source wiring, plug and protector must be rated
for at least the amperage and voltage indicated on motor nameplate, and meet all electrical codes for
this minimum.
2. Use a slow blow fuse or a circuit breaker.
3. This product is for use on a nominal 120 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Figure 4. Make sure the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration
as the plug. This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding
reduces risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for electric current. This product is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. Plug must be plugged into
an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before First Start-Up Break-In Procedure
(Complete this procedure before using compressor for the first time. Once completed, it is not necessary to
repeat.)
GETTING STARTED
SPECIFICATIONS
INSTALLATION
1. Open drain valve located on bottom of tank.
2. Turn ON / OFF switch to OFF position.
3. Plug in power cord.
4. Turn ON / OFF switch to ON position and run compressor for 30 minutes.
5. Turn ON / OFF switch to OFF position.
6. Unplug power cord.
7. Close drain valve.
The compressor is now ready for use.
Operating Procedure
1. Turn switch to OFF position and plug in power cord.
2. Turn regulator knob counterclockwise to close air flow.
3. Turn switch to AUTO position.
4. Compressor will build to maximum pressure and shut off.
5. With hose attached to outlet of compressor, attach tire chuck or other tool to open end of hose.
6. Adjust regulator to proper pressure for tool or tire. Operate tool per instructions.
As air is depleted from the tank by use of a tire chuck, tool, etc., the compressor will restart automatically
at its preset “cut-in” pressure. When a tool is being used continuously, the compressor will cycle on and off
automatically.
7. Turn switch to OFF position, unplug power cord and drain tank of air when finished using compressor.
IN COMPRESSED AIR
Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets as it comes from an air compressor pump. When
humidity is high or when a compressor is in continuous use for an extended period of time, this
moisture will collect in the tank. When using a paint spray or sandblast gun, this water will be carried
from the tank through the hose, and out of the gun as droplets mixed with the spray material.
IMPORTANT: This condensation will cause water spots in a paint job, especially when spraying other
than water based paints. If sandblasting, it will cause the sand to cake and clog the gun, rendering it
ineffective.
A filter in the air line, located as near to the gun as possible, will help eliminate this moisture.
