GLOSSARY
Become familiar with these terms before operating the unit.
CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.
PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of pressure.
Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of the following marks: UL, CUL, ETL, CETL, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent safety laboratories and meet the applicable Underwriters Laboratories Standards for Safety.
Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you continue to use your accessory.
When the tank pressure drops to a certain low level the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure
at which the motor automatically restarts is called "cut-in" pressure.
Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before the motor automatically shuts off, protecting your air tank from pressure higher than its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called "cut-out" pressure.
Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.

To Add Oil To Pump |
|
|
Compressors are shipped without oil. A small amount of oil may be present in the pump upon receipt of the air compressor. This is due to plant testing and does not mean the pump contains oil. Do not attempt to operate this air compressor without first adding oil to the crankcase. Serious damage can result from even limited operation unless filled with oil and broken in correctly. Make sure to closely follow initial start-up procedures.
Use air compressor oil only. MultiViscosity motor oils, like 10W30, should not be used in an air compressor. They leave carbon deposits on critical components, thus reducing performance and compressor life.
NOTE: Use an air compressor oil such as Sears item number 9-16426 or SAE-20 (API CG/CD heavy duty motor oil. Under extreme winter conditions use SAE-10 weight oil.
11ENG |
A09713 |
To Add Oil
Drain tank to release air pressure
before removing the oil fill cap or oil drain plug.
1.Place unit on a level surface.
2.Remove oil fill plug (A) and slowly add compressor oil until it is even with the top of the oil fill hole. NOTE: Do not allow oil to be lower than 3/8" (6 threads) from the top at any time. When filling the crankcase, the oil flows very slowly into the pump. If the oil is added too quickly, it will overflow and appear to be full.
NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is |
|
approximately 16 fluid ounces. |
|
3. |
Replace oil fill plug. |

INSTALLATION
Location of the Air Compressor
Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area. The air compressor should be located at least 12" away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air. The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling. The ventilation openings on the compressor are necessary to maintain proper operating temperature. Do not place rags or other containers on or near these openings.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. In the event of a short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This air compressor must be properly grounded.
The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug (see following illustrations). The plug must be used with an outlet that has been installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
1.The cord set and plug with this unit contains a grounding pin. This plug MUST be used with a grounded outlet.
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must be installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
2.Make sure the outlet being used has the same configuration
as the grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER. See illustration.

3.Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are signs of damage.
4.If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electrician.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL
SHOCK. IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, a correct outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician.
Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified electrician.
Extension Cords
Using extension cords is not recommended. The use of extension cords will cause voltage to drop resulting in power loss to the motor and overheating.
Instead of using an extension cord, increase the working reach of the air hose by attaching another length 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-blade grounding plug, 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.)
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the specification chart for the voltage and minimum branch circuit requirements.
Risk of Unsafe Operation. Certain
air compressors can be operated on a 15 amp circuit if the following conditions are met.
1.Voltage supply to circuit must comply with the National Electrical Code.
2.Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs.
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.
120/240 Dual Voltage Motor
This model has a dual voltage motor, 120 and 240 volt. It is wired for 120 volt but can be converted to 240 volt operation. Instructions for connecting the motor for operation at 240 volt can be found printed on the label attached to the side of the motor.
When converting to 240V operation, the
attached three-prong 120V cord assembly must be replaced with a three-pronged 240V cord assembly (K-0080) that can be purchased through a Sears Service Center.

Connect
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. The pressure switch 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 valve will 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 less 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-flate), and ARO. One hand push-to-connect operation makes connections simple and easy.-
Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of 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 blow air through the vent holes
in large amounts. You know that the cooling system is working when air is being expelled.
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", allowing compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches "cut-out" pressure, the check valve "closes", allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank.
Pressure
Release
Valve
Check Valve
Pressure Release Valve: 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 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".
How to Use Your Unit
How to Stop:

Operation. Unit cycles automatically when power is on. When servicing, you may be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air, or moving parts. Before servicing unit unplug or disconnect electrical supply to the air compressor, bleed tank of pressure, and allow the air compressor to cool.
To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air compressor air compressor, a routine maintenance schedule should be prepared and followed. The following routine maintenance schedule is geared to an air compressor in a normal
working environment operating on a daily basis. If necessary, the schedule should be modified to suit the conditions under which your compressor is used. The modifications will depend upon the hours of operation and the working environment. Air compressors in an extremely dirty and/or hostile environment will require a greater
frequency of all maintenance checks.
NOTE: See "Operation" section for the location of controls.
