Air Tank: On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety
Commission published Release # 02-108 concerning air compressor tank

safety:
Air compressor receiver tanks do not have an infinite life. Tank life is

dependent upon several factors, some of which include operating conditions,
ambient conditions, proper installations, field modifications, and the level of

maintenance. The exact effect of these factors on air receiver life is difficult to

predict.
If proper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal corrosion to the

inner wall of the air receiver tank can cause the air tank to unexpectedly rupture
allowing pressurized air to suddenly and forcefully escape, posing risk of injury
to consumers.

Your compressor air tank must be removed from service by the end of the year
shown on your tank warning label.

The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in
a violent air tank explosion:

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 auto-
matically. The low pressure at which

the motor automatically restarts is

called "cut-in" pressure.

Cut=Out Pressure: When an air com-

pressor is turned on and begins to

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 ground-
ing 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.

EXTENSION CORDS

_Risk of Property
undersized extension cord 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

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.

can be purchased through a Sears
Service Center.

AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
iMPORTANT: The regulator assembly

on the unit should be removed and a
flexible coupling should be assembled

to the pipe nipple for a plumbed-in
air distribution system. Follow these

instructions to correctly convert to a
permanent air distribution system.

Risk of bursting.

Plastic or PVC
pipe is not designed for use with
compressed air. Regardless of its

indicated pressure rating, plastic
pipe can burst from air pressure.

Use only metal pipe for air
distribution lines.

The next figure represents a typical
air distribution system. The following

are tips to remember when setting up
the air compressor's air distribution

system.
NOTE: Compressed air from oil lube

air compressors will contain water
condensation and oil mist. Several

drains, traps and filters will be needed
to supply air without water (including

aerosols) or oil to spray equipment, air
tools and accessories requiring filtered

air. Always read the instructions for the
air tools and accessories being used.

• Use pipe that is the same size as

the air tank outlet. Piping that is
too small will restrict the flow of

air.
If piping is over 100' (30.5 m) long,

use the next larger size.
Bury underground lines below
the frost line and avoid pockets

where condensation can gather
and freeze. Apply pressure before
underground lines are covered to

make sure all pipe joints are free
of leaks.

A flexible coupling is
recommended to be installed

between the pipe nipple and main
air distribution line to allow for

vibration.
A separate regulator is

recommended to control the
air pressure. Air pressure from

the tank is usually to high for
individual air driven tools.

the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future

reference.

Auto(I)/Off(O) Switch

iPressure
!Switch

Re€

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

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

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.
