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 protect-
ed 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 compres-
sor 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 familiarize yourself with
the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future
reference.
Auto(I)/Off(O) Switch
Regulator
Auto(I)/Off(O) Switch: Turn this switch
"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 pres-
sure 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 fac-
tory set pressure (slightly higher than
the pressure switch "cut-out" setting).
Outlet Pressure Gauge: The outlet
pressure gauge indicates the air pres-
sure 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 pres-
sure 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 counterclock-
wise 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 ARC. One hand push-
to-connect operation makes connec-
tions simple and easy.
Drain Valve: The
drain valve is
located at the
base of the air
tank and is used
to drain conden-
sation 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.
15- ENG
Valve
N000578
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 compres-
sor is operating, the check valve is
"open", allowing compressed air to
enter the air tank. When the air com-
pressor reaches "cut-out" pressure,
the check valve "closes", allowing air
pressure to remain inside the air tank.
To restart:
1. Place the
Auto/Off
lever in the
"Off" pos-
tion.
2. Allow the
motor to
cool.
3. Depress the
red reset button on the motor.
4. Place the Auto/Off lever in the
"Auto" postion to restart the
motor.
HOW TO USE YOUR UNIT
How to Stop
1. Set the Auto/Off switch to "Off".
Before Starting
Pressure Release Valve: The pres-
sure 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.
Motor: This motor has a manual ther-
mal overload protector. If the motor
overheats for any reason, the overload
protector will shut off the motor. The
motor must be allowed to cool down
before restarting.
