protection when operating the
pump or unit.
6. Do not stand on or use the pump or
unit as a handhold.
7.
Before each use, inspect compressed
air system and electrical components
for signs of damage, deterioration,
weakness or leakage. Repair or
replace defective items before using.
8. Check all fasteners at frequent
intervals for proper tightness.
Motors, electrical
equipment and controls
can cause electrical arcs
that will ignite a flammable gas or
vapor. Never operate or repair in or
near a flammable gas or vapor. Never
store flammable liquids or gases in the
vicinity of the compressor.
Compressor parts may
be hot even if the unit
is stopped.
9. Keep fingers away from a running
compressor; fast moving and hot
parts will cause injury and/or burns.
10. If the equipment should start to
abnormally vibrate, STOP the
engine/motor and check
immediately for the cause. Vibration
is generally a warning of trouble.
11. To reduce fire hazard, keep
engine/motor exterior free of oil,
solvent, or excessive grease.
Never remove or
attempt to adjust
safety valve. Keep safety valve free
from paint and other accumulations.
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 or
damaged tanks.
Drain liquid from
tank daily.
13.
Tanks rust from moisture build-up,
which weakens the tank. Make sure
to drain tank regularly and inspect
periodically for unsafe conditions
such as rust formation and corrosion
.
14. Fast moving air will stir up dust and
debris which may be harmful. Release
air slowly when draining moisture or
depressurizing the compressor system.
SPRAYING PRECAUTIONS
Do not spray flammable
materials in vicinity of
open flame or near
ignition sources including the
compressor unit.
15. Do not smoke when spraying paint,
insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
16. Use a face mask/
respirator when
spraying and spray in
a well ventilated area
to prevent health and
fire hazards.
17. Do not direct paint or other sprayed
material at the compressor. Locate
compressor as far away from the
spraying area as possible to
minimize overspray accumulation
on the compressor.
18. When spraying or cleaning with
solvents or toxic chemicals, follow
the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer.
Compressor handle has a notch (or
detent) at top of handle. This notch
provides a handy place to hang a spray
gun, sandblast gun, or other tool

level or slope slightly towards the
drain cock to allow the tank to
drain properly.
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.
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.
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:
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.
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
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.
Discharge 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 - 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.
Never use the
handle on wheeled
units to lift the unit completely off the
ground.
Drain Petcock - 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.
Reduce tank pressure below 10 PSI,
then drain moisture from tank daily to
avoid tank corrosion. Drain moisture

cause air to bleed off. Compressor
will restart at a preset pressure.
6. Turn regulator knob
counterclockwise to shut off the air
and turn switch to Off position.
7. Attach chuck or other tool to open
end of hose. Turn the regulator on.
In the AUTO position, the compressor
pumps air into the tank. It shuts off
automatically when unit reaches its
maximum preset pressure. In the OFF
position, the pressure switch cannot
function and the compressor will not
operate. This switch should be in the
OFF position when connecting or
disconnecting the power cord from the
electrical outlet.
ASME SAFETY VALVE
Do not remove or
attempt to adjust
the safety valve!
This valve should be checked under
pressure occasionally by pulling the ring
by hand. If air leaks after ring has been
released, or valve is stuck and cannot be
actuated by ring, it MUST be replaced.
REGULATOR KNOB
1. This knob controls air pressure to an
air operated tool, or paint spray gun.
2. Turning knob clockwise increases air
pressure at outlet.
3. Turning counterclockwise will lower
air pressure at outlet.
4. Fully counterclockwise will shut off
flow of air completely.
OUTLET PRESSURE GAUGE
1. This gauge shows at-a-glance, air
pressure at outlet. Air pressure is
measured in pounds per square inch
(psi).
2. Be sure this gauge reads ZERO before
changing air tools or disconnecting
hose from outlet.
Figure 6
Figure 4 - Unit identification
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 (MP3105), located as
near to the gun as possible, will
help eliminate this moisture.
