GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION
Air compressors are utilized in a variety
of air system applications. Because air
compressors and other components
(material pump, spray gun, filters,
lubrications, hoses, etc.) used make up
a high pressure pumping system, the
following safety precautions should be
observed at all times. Only persons well
acquainted with these rules of safe
operation should be allowed to use the
air compressor.
Risk of
Bursting! This compressor
is designed to provide air
pressure up to 200 psi. Most
attachments are designed to operate
at a maximum pressure of less than
125 psi. DO NOT adjust the regulator to
result in output pressure greater than
the marked maximum pressure of the
attachment.
Risk of Injury! Do not
direct air stream at
body.
All electrical work
should be done
by a qualified (licensed or certified)
electrician. On a properly wired circuit,
the black wires supply a voltage
potential even when the unit is off.
1. Read instruction
manuals for each
component carefully,
before attempting to
assemble, disassemble
or operate your particular system.
2. Wear safety glasses and
use hearing protection
when operating the

Operating Instructions
Introduction
Pressure Switch - ON/OFF Switch - In
the ON 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 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.
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 exhaust tube.
Check Valve - A 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.
Air Outlet - A quick connect coupler
designed to work in combination with
a quick connect plug to quickly and
easily join a pneumatic tool to an air
hose.
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.
Drain Valve - This valve is located
underneath the tank. Use this valve to
drain moisture from the tank daily to
reduce the risk of corrosion.
Drain liquid from
tank daily.
Reduce tank pressure below 10 psi,
then drain moisture from tank daily to
avoid tank corrosion. Drain moisture
from tank by opening the drain valve
located underneath the tank.
Installation
LOCATION
It is extremely important to install the
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
Household use only. Store indoors.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
1. Check and tighten all bolts, fittings,
etc., before operating compressor.
2. Operate compressor in a ventilated
area so that compressor may be
properly cooled.
3. Compressor should be located
where it can be directly plugged
into an outlet, but if this is not
possible, an extension cord may be
used. It should be selected using the
extension cord chart on page 5 as a
guide.
4. To avoid loss of power and
overheating, it is better to use
additional air hose instead of
extension cords to reach work area.

Installation (Continued)
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 type T or a
circuit breaker.
Overheating, short
circuiting and fire
damage will result from inadequate
wiring, etc.
All wiring and
electrical
connections should be performed by a
qualified electrician. Installation must
be in accordance with local codes and
national electrical codes.
NOTE: 120 volt, compressor can be
operated on a 120 volt, 15 amp circuit
under the following conditions:
a. No other electrical appliances or
lights are connected to the same
branch circuit.
b. Voltage supply is normal.
c. Extension cords are of the
minimum gauge specified in this
instruction manual.
d. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp
circuit breaker or a 15 amp slow
blow fuse type T.
MOISTURE 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.
3. If above 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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. In
the event of an electrical short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electric
shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current. This product
is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug. The plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.

Risk of
Bursting!
This compressor is designed
to provide air pressure up to
200 psi. Most attachments
are designed to operate at a maximum
pressure of less than 125 psi. DO NOT
adjust the regulator to result in output
pressure greater than the marked
maximum pressure of the attachment.
ON/OFF CYCLING OF COMPRESSOR
In the ON position, the compressor
pumps air into the tank. When a
shut-off (preset “cut-out”) pressure is
reached, the compressor automatically
shuts off.
If the compressor is left in the ON
position and 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.
In the OFF position, the pressure switch
cannot function and the compressor
will not operate. Make sure switch
is in OFF position when connecting
or disconnecting power cord from
electrical outlet.
PRESSURE GAUGES
The gauge attached to control panel
is the Outlet Gauge, and it indicates
air pressure going to hose (and tool
attached to end of hose).
The gauge toward the front of the
shroud is the Tank Gauge, and it
indicates air pressure in tank.
Maintenance
ASME SAFETY VALVE
Do not remove or
attempt to adjust
the safety valve!
Check the safety valve by performing
the following steps:
1. Plug the compressor in and run until
shut off pressure is reached (see
Operating Procedure).
2. Wearing safety glasses, pull the ring
on the safety valve (see Figure 5) to
release pressure from compressor
tank. Use your other hand to deflect
fast-moving air from being directed
toward your face.
Figure 5
3. The safety valve should
automatically close when pressure
in the tank has been released. If the
safety valve does not allow air to be
released when you pull on the ring,
or if it does not close automatically,
it MUST be replaced.
Safety valve must be
replaced if it cannot
be actuated or it leaks air after ring is
released.
GENERAL
Release all pressure
and disconnect power
before making any repair.
1. Check compressor for any visible
problems, especially check air filter
to be sure it is clean.
2. Pull ring on safety valve and allow
it to snap back to normal position
(Figure 5).
Safety valve must be
replaced if it cannot
be actuated or it leaks air after ring is
released.
3. Daily with compressor shut off:
Depressurize system prior to
draining tank. Drain moisture
from tank by opening drain valve
underneath the tank.
NOTE: Tank should be emptied
regularly.
Figure 6
Do not remove drain
plug with tank under
pressure.
4. Turn power OFF and clean dust and
dirt from motor, tank, air lines and
pump cooling fins.
NOTE: The air filter in the filter
housing on the side of the head must
be checked and cleaned periodically,
more often if used under very dusty
conditions or when a great deal of fog
from spraying is allowed to circulate
near unit.
IMPORTANT: Unit should be located as
far from spraying area as hose will allow
to prevent over-spray from clogging
filter.
FILTER REMOVAL, INSPECTION AND
REPLACEMENT
To change a filter, remove the screw
in the filter housing cover. If filter
element is dirty, rotate filter element
so the holes line up with clean element
material and snap cover onto housing.
If filter element has no clean areas,
replace element.
