INSTALLATION
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.
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.
HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT
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.The air filter must
be kept clear of obstructions which could reduce air flow to the air compressor.

11- ENG
A08184
Extension Cords
Use extra air hose instead of an extension cord to avoid voltage drop and
power loss to the motor, and to prevent overheating.
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 Parts Manual 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.

A08184
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 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. Turn
the knob clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease
pressure.
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.

Break-in instructions
Serious damage may result if the following break-in
instructions are not closely 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 clicks 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 (counter-clockwise) to permit air to escape and
prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during the break-in period.
NOTE: Always drain tank on a washable surface or in a suitable
container to prevent damaging or staining surfaces.
4. Move the On/Auto/Off lever to "ON/AUTO" position. The compressor will
start.
5. Run the compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure the drain valve is open and
there is minimal air pressure build-up in tank.
6. After 15 minutes, close the drain valve (clockwise). The air receiver will fill
to "cut-out" pressure and the motor will stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.
13- ENG
A08184
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: 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.
