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
DUTY CYCLE
Air compressors should be operated
on not more than a 50% duty cycle.
This means an air compressor that
pumps air more than 50% of one
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 Lock Out Power: Place a lock on
the line power switch so no one else
can turn on the power.
hour is considered misuse, because
the air compressor is undersized for
the required air demand. Maximum
compressor pumping time per hour is
30 minutes.
Accessories for this unit are available at the store the unit was purchased.
ACCESSORIES
* A circuit breaker is preferred. Use only a fuse or circuit breaker that is the same
rating as the branch circuit on which the air compressor is operated. 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.

Unpacking
1. Remove all packaging.
It may be neces-
sary to brace or
support one side of the outfit
when removing the pallet because
the air compressor will have a
tendency to tip.
2. Remove and discard the (4)
screws and washers holding the
compressor to the pallet.
3. With the help of another person
carefully remove air compressor
from pallet and place on a level
surface.
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.
Multi-Viscosity
motor oils, like
10W 30, should not be used in an
air compressor. They leave carbon
deposits on critical components,
thus reducing performance and
compressor life. Use air compr
es-
sor oil only.
1. Remove the oil drain plug (B) and
washer (C).
