Extension Cords Using extension cords is not
recommended. The use of extension cords wiII cause voltage to drop
resulting in power Ioss to the motor and overheating.
Instead of using an extension cord, increase the working reach of the air hose by attaching another Iength
of hose to its end. Attach additional lengths of hose as needed.
If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is:
® a 3-wire extension cord that has
a 3-bIade grounding ptug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept
the plug on the product ® in good condition ® no longer than 50 feet ® 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire
size increases as gauge number
decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG
may also be used. DO NOT USE
14 OR 16 AWG.)
Vomtage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the specification chart for the voltage and minimum branch circuit requirements.
Certain air compressors can be operated on a 15 amp circuit if the following conditions are met.
1. Voltage supply through branch circuit is 15 amps.
2. Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs (lights,
appliances, etc.).
3. Extension cords comply with specifications.
4. Circuit is equipped with a
15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp time delay fuse. NOTE: If compressor is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use only time delay fuses. Time delay
fuses should be marked "D" in Canada and "T" in the US.
If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the compressor repeatedly causes
interruption of the power, it may be necessary to operate it from a 20 amp circuit. It is not necessary to change the cord set.

Know Your Air Compressor
READ THiS OWNER'S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustrations with your unit to famiIiarize yourself with
the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future reference.
Description of Operation Become familiar with these controls
before operating the unit.
On/Auto/Off Switch: Turn this switch "On/Auto" to provide
automatic power to the pressure switch and "Off" to remove power
at the end of each use. Pressure Switch: The pressure
switch automatically starts the motor when the air tank pressure drops below the factory set "cut-in" pressure, it stops the motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory set "cut-out" pressure.
Safety Valve: if the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its "cut-out" pressure setting, the
safety vaIve wil! protect against high pressure by "popping out" at its
factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch "cut-out"
setting).
Outlet Pressure Gauge: The outlet pressure gauge indicates the air pressure available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the regulator and is always Iess than or equal to the tank
pressure. Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank
pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank.
Regulator: Controls the air pressure shown on the outlet pressure gauge. Pull the knob out and turn clockwise to increase pressure
and counterclockwise to decrease pressure. When the desired pressure
is reached push knob in to lock in place.
Universal Quick-Connect Body: The universal quick-connect body accepts the three most popular styles of quick-connect plugs: industrial, automotive (Tru-fiate), and ARC. One hand push-to-connect operation makes connections simple and easy.
Brain Vamve:The drain valve is located at the base of the air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of

Valve
each use. Cooling System (not shown): This
compressor contains an advanced design cooling system. At the heart of this cooling system is an engineered fan. it is perfectly normal for this fan to bIow air through the vent hotes in large amounts. You know that the cooling system is working when air is being expelled.
13= ENG A09708
Air Compressor Pump (not shown): Compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that required at the air outlet.
Check Valve: When the air compressor
is operating, the check
valve is
"open", a!lowing compressed
air to enter Check the air tank.
When the air compressor reaches "cut-out"
pressure, the check valve "closes", a!lowing air pressure to remain inside
the air tank. Pressure Release Vatve: The
pressure release valve, located on the side of the pressure switch, is designed to automatically release compressed
air from the compressor
head and the outlet tube when the air
compressor reaches
"cut-out" pressure or is shut off. The pressure
release valve allows the motor to restart freely. When the motor stops
running, air will be heard escaping from this valve for a few seconds.
No air should be heard leaking when the motor is running, or continuous leaking after unit reaches "cut-out"
pressure. Air Intake Filter (not shown): This
filter is designed to clean air coming into the pump. This filter must
always be clean and ventilation openings free from obstructions. See
"Maintenance".
Motor Overload Protector: The
motor has an automatic reset thermal overload protector. If the
motor overheats for any reason, the overload protector will shut off the
motor. The motor must be allowed to cooI down before restarting. The
compressor will automatically restart after the motor cools.
How to Use Your Unit
How to Stop:
1. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "Off".
Before First Start Up:
Serious damage
may result if the following break-in instructions are not closemy followed.
This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into service and when the check valve or a complete compressor pump has been replaced.
1. Make sure the On/Auto/Off lever is in the "Off" position.
NOTE: If quick connect is installed, pull coupler back until it chicks to prevent air from escaping through the quick connect.
2. Plug the power cord into the
correct branch circuit receptacle. (Refer to "Voltage and Circuit
Protection" paragraph in the "installation" section of this
manual.)
3. Open the drain valve fully
