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 1966, 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
Campbell Hausfeld disclaims any
liability whatsoever for any loss,
personal injury or damage.

Installation (Cont.)
compressor in a clean, well ventilated area
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.
Never use an extension
cord with this product. Use
additional air hose instead
of an extension cord to
avoid power loss and permanent motor
damage. Use of an extension cord voids
the warranty.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. This product is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated
in Fig. 3. 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.
!
CAUTION
!
WARNING
!
CAUTION
Improper use of
grounding plug can result in a possible risk of
electrical shock!
Do not use a
grounding adapter
with this product!
2. If repair or replacement of cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect grounding
wire to either flat blade terminal. The
wire with insulation having an external
surface that is green (with or without
yellow stripes) is the grounding wire.
Never connect
green (or green and
yellow) wire to a live terminal.
3. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether product is
properly grounded. Do not modify
plug provided; if it will not fit outlet,
have proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
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.
Overheating, short
circuiting and fire
damage will result from inadequate
wiring, etc.
NOTE: 120 volt, 15 amp units can be
operated on a 120 volt circuit under the
following conditions:
!
CAUTION
!
WARNING
!
DANGER
!
DANGER
a. No other electrical appliances or lights
are connected to the same branch
circuit.
b. Voltage supply is normal.
c. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp
circuit breaker or a 15 amp slow blow
fuse.
3. If these conditions cannot be met or if
nuisance tripping of current
protection device occurs, it may be
necessary to operate compressor from
a 120 volt, 20 amp circuit.
Operation
Pressure Switch - Auto/Off Switch - In
the ON position, the compressor shuts
off automatically when tank pressure
reaches the maximum preset pressure.
The compressor will automatically
restart when it reaches the minimum
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
or when changing air tools.
Regulator - The regulator controls the
amount of air pressure released at the
hose outlet.
ASME Safety Valve - This valve
automatically releases air if the tank
pressure exceeds the preset maximum.

Maintenance
The compressor should be checked
often for any visible problems and the
following maintenance procedures
should be performed each time the
compressor is used.
1. Pull ring on safety valve and allow it
to snap back to normal position.
Safety valve must
be replaced if it
cannot be actuated or it leaks air after
ring is released.
2. Place unit in the horizontal position
as shown in Figure 8. With
compressor shut off and pressure
released: Drain moisture from tank
!
WARNING
by opening drain cock underneath
tank.
3. Turn power OFF and clean dust and
dirt from pump cover, tank and air
lines.
IMPORTANT: Unit should be located as
far from spraying area as hose will
allow to prevent over-spray from
clogging filter.
LUBRICATION
This is an oilless type compressor
requiring no lubrication.
STORAGE
1. When not in use, hose and compressor should be stored in a cool dry
place.
2. Tank should be drained of moisture.
3. Hose should be disconnected and
hung open ends down, to allow any
moisture to drain.
