Safety Rules
Safety Rules
WARNING
Read this manual thoroughly before operating
your air compressor. Failure to follow instructions
could result in serious injury or death.
WARNING
Particulate Matter from user applications
Dust created by spraying, blowing, power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other
construction activities contains chemicals
known to the state of California to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Reduce exposure to these chemicals
by wearing approved safety equipment.
DANGER
Risk of Tank Bursting
Do not adjust regulator to result in output
pressure greater than marked maximum
pressure of attachment. If a regulator has
not been installed, use only attachment
rated at 120 PSI or higher. Do not weld on
or repair tank – A damaged tank must be
replaced. Do not operate without proper
valve connection.
Never attempt to repair or make
modifications to the tank or its attachments.
Welding, drilling, or any other modifications
may weaken the tank, which may result in
damage from rupture or explosion.
Never remove or attempt to adjust the
pressure switch, safety valve or other
components that control tank pressure.
DANGER
Risk of Electrical Shock
Disconnect air compressor from power
source before servicing. USE PROPERLY
grounded ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS —
DO NOT use grounding adaptors. Do not
use in wet or damp locations or expose to
rain. Keep all connections dry and off the
ground. Do not allow power cords to come
into contact with water. Do not touch the
plug with wet hands. Do not pull on the
electrical cord to disconnect from
the power outlet. Store air compressor
indoors when not in use.
WARNING
Do not inhale compressed air
This air compressor is not designed, nor
intended for the supply of breathable quality
air. Air produced by this unit may contain
carbon
monoxide or other toxic vapors. Do not
inhale air from the compressor or from a
breathing device connected to it.
WARNING
Air Compressor generates significant heat
Touching exposed metal such as the
compressor head or exhaust tube can result
in serious burns. Keep hands and fingers
away from exposed metal parts on air
compressor during or immediately after
operation. Air compressors generate
significant heat during normal
operation and will remain hot for some time
after use.
Rev 30000-20080208 3
Safety Rules
WARNING
Compressed air stream can be harmful to people
or pets
The powerful compressed air stream can
damage exposed skin and easily propel
loose dirt, and other small objects at highspeed, resulting in injury.
Always wear eye protection that meets ANSI
Z28.1 specifications.
Shut OFF air compressor and relieve
pressure before performing maintenance or
repairs. Do not move the air compressor
while the air tank is pressurized. Never
attempt to move the air compressor by
pulling on the air hose.
WARNING
Movement from Vibration
Always operate air compressor in a stable
and secure position to prevent accidental
movement of the unit. Never operate air
compressor on a roof or other elevated
position. Use additional air hose to reach
high locations.
WARNING
Air Tools and Accessories
Do not exceed the pressure rating of any air
tools, spray guns, air accessories, or
inflatables.
Excess pressure can cause them to explode,
resulting in serious injury. Follow the
manufacturers recommended pressure
settings for all air tools and air accessories.
WARNING
Release air and liquid from tank before and after
each use
Use the drain valve located on the bottom of
the lower air tank to drain. Failure to
properly drain liquid from the tank will cause
rust from moisture buildup, which weakens
the tank and could lead to a violent tank
explosion. Periodically inspect the tanks for
unsafe conditions such as corrosion, cracked
welds, and leaks.
When operating drain valve, release air and
liquid slowly when depressurizing the tank.
High speed release of air and liquid may stir
up rust and debris and may result in injury.

Operation
Operation
NOTE
Your air compressor does not require any
assembly.
8. Turn the compressor ON by moving the
motor switch to the AUTO/ON position.
Allow the tank pressure to build. Once
the air pressure reaches the preset
pressure maximum it will automatically
shut off.
9. Adjust regulator knob on outlet port to
appropriate pressure for particular
accessory
Start Up Procedure
1. Before plugging compressor into power
outlet, make sure motor switch is in the
OFF position.
2. Place air compressor on a flat, level
surface.
3. Drain moisture from the air tank by
slowly opening the air tank drain valve
by turning clockwise. Once all the
moisture has drained out, close the
fitting securely
4. Turn output port regulator knob to a
closed position (counterclockwise)
5. Attach air hose and accessories.
6. Before plugging compressor into power
outlet check to see all components,
hoses, accessories, are all in working
order.
7. Plug power cord directly into a properly
grounded power source of the correct
voltage
Shutdown and Storage
1. Turn the switch to the OFF position
2. Unplug compressor from power source
3. Turn the outlet pressure regulator knob
fully counterclockwise to close airflow to
port. Check pressure gauge that it reads
0 PSI
4. Remove air hose and any accessories
5. Slowly open tank drain valve to release
moisture from tanks. Tilt tank to
remove all moisture. When all moisture
has been removed, close the fitting
securely.
6. Allow the compressor motor to cool
down
7. Wipe down and store in a clean, dry, and
non-freezing location

Compressor Maintenance
Checking Safety Relief Valve
1. Turn air compressor off and disconnect
from power source
2. Release tank pressure by opening tank
drain
3. Allow compressor to fully cool
4. Grasp wire ring on safety relief valve.
Pull and release the ring a few times to
verify plunger movement
5. Replace safety relief valve if plunger is
not functioning properly.
