Description
Air compressor units are intended
to provide compressed air to power
pneumatic tools and operate spray
guns. The pumps supplied are oil
lubricated. A small amount of oil
carryover is present in the compressed
air stream. Applications requiring air
free of oil or water should have the
appropriate filter installed. The air
compressor unit must be mounted
as described in the instructions on
a solid floor. Any other use of these
units will void the warranty and the
manufacturer will not be responsible
for problems or damages resulting from
such misuse.
Unpacking
After unpacking the unit, inspect
carefully for any damage that may
have occurred during transit. Make sure
to tighten fittings, bolts, etc., before
putting unit into service.
Do not operate unit
if damaged during
shipping, handling or use. Damage may
result in bursting and cause injury or
property damage.

Safety Guidelines
This manual contains information
that is very important to know and
understand. This information is
provided for SAFETY and to PREVENT
EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help
recognize this information, observe the
following symbols.
Danger indicates an
imminently
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, WILL result in death or serious
injury.
Warning indicates a
potentially
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, COULD result in death or
serious injury.
Caution indicates a
potentially
hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, MAY result in minor or
moderate injury.
Notice indicates
important
information, that if not followed, may
cause damage to equipment.
NOTE: Information that requires special
equipped and should NOT be
used “as is” to supply breathing
quality air. For any application of
air for human consumption, you
must fit the air compressor/pump
with suitable in-line safety and
alarm equipment. This additional
equipment is necessary to
properly filter and purify the air

Introduction
R efer to Figures 1a or 1b to locate the
following items.
Pressure switch - Auto/Off Switch - In
the "auto" position, the compressor
shuts off automatically when tank
pressure reaches the maximum preset
pressure. After air is used from the tank
and drops to a preset low level, the
pressure switch automatically turns the
motor back on. 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.
When the pressure switch turns the
motor off you will hear air leaking out
of the pressure switch unloader valve
for a short time. This releases the air
pressure from the discharge tube and
allows the compressor to restart easier.
For units without a manual switch,
whenever the procedures call for
turning the switch to the OFF position,
use the switch at the disconnect instead.
Regulator - The regulator controls the
amount of air pressure released at the
hose outlet (Sold separately).
Discharge Tube
Check Valve
Handle
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.
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.
Never use the
handle to lift the
unit completely off the ground. Handle
is intended only for pushing or pulling
product.
Belt Guard - Covers the belt, motor
pulley and flywheel.
Never
operate
compressor without a
beltguard. This unit can
start automatically without
warning. Personal injury or property
damage could occur from contact with
moving parts.

Tank 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.
Reduce tank pressure below 10 psi,
then drain moisture from tank daily to
avoid tank corrosion. Drain moisture
from tank(s) by opening the drain valve
located underneath the tank.
T ank Pressure Gauge - Indicates
amount of air pressure stored in tank.
Hose Pressure Gauge - Indicates
amount of air pressure in hose used to
operate tools. This pressure is increased
or decreased by the regulator.

Assembly (Continued)
OIL DRAIN EXTENSION
Some models include an oil drain
extension and cap (found with the
owner’s manual). Install the oil drain
extension and cap before adding oil to
the pump. To avoid oil leaks, it is highly
recommended to apply Teflon® tape or
plumber’s putty to the threads on each
end of the oil drain extension. Screw
the cap onto one end of the extension.
Remove the oil drain plug from the base
of the pump and install the oil drain
extension (See Figure 7).
OIL
Use SAE 30 industrial grade air
compressor oil or full synthetic motor
oil like Mobil 1 10W30. Do not use
regular automotive oil such as 10W-30.
Additives in motor oil can cause valve
deposits and reduce pump life. For
maximum pump life, drain and replace
oil after the first hour of run time.
Proper oil fill level is illustrated in
Figure 7.
For pumps with an oil sight glass, oil
level can be monitored and maintained
as shown in Figure 7.
ELECTRICAL DATA
Overheating, short-circuiting
and fi re damage will result
from inadequate wiring.
The 120 volt, 15 amp units can be
operated on a 120 volt 15 amp circuit
under the following conditions:
1. No other electrical appliances or
lights are connected to the same
branch circuit.
2. Voltage is 120 Volts.
3. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp
circuit breaker or a 15 amp slow
blow fuse type T (For Canada use
Typ e D).
4. The length of copper wire between
the outlet and circuit breaker is not
longer than 40 feet of 14 AWG or 70
feet of 12 AWG.
If the above conditions cannot be met
or if nuisance tripping of the current
protection device occurs, it may be
possible to operate the compressor from
a 120 volt 20 amp circuit. See Figure 8.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be grounded. In
the event of an electric short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk of electrical
shock by providing an escape wire for
the electric current. Unit is equipped
with a cord that has a grounding prong.
Improper
use of
grounding plug can result in
a risk of electrical shock.
NOTE: Do not use grounding
adapter.
When converting
to an alternate
voltage, be sure the green ground wire
of the cord connects to the ground pin
of the plug and to the metal body of the
pressure switch.

Operating Instructions
Operation
START-UP
This compressor
pump must be fi lled
with oil before startup. See lubrication
section.
Do not attach air
tools to open end of
the hose until start-up is completed and
the unit checks OK.
Never disconnect
threaded joints with
pressure in tank!
1. Check for proper oil level. See
Lubrication Section.
2. Open tank drain valve.
3. Turn pressure switch lever or knob
to OFF position and plug in power
cord.
4. Turn pressure switch lever or knob to
AUTO position and run unit for 30
minutes to break in the pump parts
8. Attach hose, then add chuck or
other tool to open end of hose. Plug
in powercord. Turn pressure switch
lever to AUTO position. When full
pressure is reached turn regulator
knob clockwise until desired outlet
pressure is achieved.
9. After use, turn pressure switch lever
or knob to the Off position.
10. If compressor is not used for a long
time period, bleed air from line
and use drain valve to drain water
from the tank. Then, follow the
maintenance schedule.
NOTE: Electric models are equipped
with a pressure switch that
automatically turns the motor OFF
when the tank pressure reaches a preset
level. After air is used from the tank and
drops to a preset low level, the pressure
switch automatically turns the motor
back on.

Storage
1. When not in use, hose and
compressor should be stored in a
cool dry place.

and hung with open ends down to
allow any moisture to drain.
3. Protect the electrical cord from
possible damage by winding the
cord loosely around the handle of
the unit or coiling the cord up.

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 fi lter in the air line, located as near to
the gun as possible, will help eliminate
this moisture.
