GLOSSARY
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.
ASME: American Society of Mechanical Engineers; made,
tested, inspected and registered to meet the standards of
ASME.
U.L. Listed: Products with the U.L. mark are listed by
Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (U.L.). Samples of these prod-
ucts have been evaluated by U.L. and meet the applicable
U.L Standards of Safety.
California Code: Unit may comply with California Code 462
(L) (2)/(M) (2). Specification/model label is on the side of the
tank on units that comply with California Code.
Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure
drops as you continue to use your accessory or airtool. When
the tank pressure drops to a certain low level the motor will
restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor
automatically re-starts is called "cut-in pressure."
Cut-Out Pressure: When you turn on your air compressor
and it begins to run, air pressure in the airtank begins to build.
It buildsto a certain high pressure before the motor automati-
cally shutsoff - protecting your air tank from pressure higher
than itscapacity. The highpressure at which the motor shuts
off is called "cut-out pressure."
DUTY CYCLE
All DeVilbiss Air Power manufactured 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 hour, is considered misuse, because the air
compressor is undersized for the required air demand.
Maximum compressor pumping time per hour is 30
minutes.
GENERAL INFORMATION
You have purchased an air compressor unit consisting of an
aluminum 2 cylinder, single-stage air compressor pump (with
cast iron sleeves), an air tank, wheels, handle, associated
controls and instruments.
Your air compressor can be used for operating paint spray
guns, air tools, caulking guns, grease guns, air brushes,
sandblasters, inflating tires and plastic toys, spraying weed
killers, insecticides, etc. An air pressure regulator isrequired
for most of these applications.
An airlinefilter is usually required for removal ofmoisture and
oil vapor in compressed air when a paint spray gun is used.
An in-line lubricator is usually required for air tools to prolong
tool life.
Separate air transformers which combine the functions of air
regulation and/or moisture end dirt removal should be used
where applicable.
ON-RECEIPT INSPECTION
Each air compressor outfit is carefully tested and checked
before shipment. With improper handling, damage may result
in transit and cause problems in compressor operation.
Immediately upon arrival, check equipment for both con-
cealed and visible damages to avoid expenses being incurred
to correct such problems. This should be done regardless of
any visible signs of damage to the shipping container. If this
product was shipped directly to you, report any damages to
carrier and arrange for inspection of goods immediately.

Air Power Authorized Warranty Service Center, call our toll
free number at 1-800-888-2468, Ext, 2.
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the air
tankand is used to drain condensation at the end of each use.
Motor Thermal Overload Protector: The electric motor has
an automatic thermal overload protector. If the motor over-
heatsfor any reason, the thermal overload protector wilJshut
off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool before
restarting.
ON/AUTO - OFF Switch (Pressure Switch): Turn this
switch ON to provide automatic power to the pressureswitch
andOFF toremove power at the end ofeach use.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.
Air Intake Filter: This filter is designed to clean air coming
intothe pump. Thistilter must always be clean and ventilation
openings free from obstructions. See "Maintenance".
Air Compressor Pump: To compress air, the pistons moves
up anddown in the cylinder. On the downstroke, airis drawn
in through the air intake valves. The exhaust valve remains
closed. On the upstroke ofthe piston, air iscompressed. The
intake valves close and compressed air is forced out through
the exhaust valve, through the outlet tube, through the check
valve and into the airtank. 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-our' pres-
sure,the check valve "closes", allowing airpressureto remain
inside the air tank.
Pressure Release Valve: The pressure release valve lo-
cated 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 isshut off. If the airis not released, the
motor will try to start, but will be unable to. The pressure
release valve allows the motor to restart freely. When the
motor stops running,air will be heard escapingfrom the valve
for a few seconds. No air should be heard leakingwhen the
motoris running, or continuous leaking after unitreaches 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).

DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION (cont'd)
Outlet Pressure Gauge: The outlet pressure gauge indi-
cates the air pressure available at the outlet side of the
regulator. This pressure is controlled by the regulator and is
always less or equal to the tank pressure. See "Operating
Procedures".
Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank pressure gauge indicates
the reserve air pressure in the tank.
Regulator: The air pressure coming from the air tank is
controlled by the regulator knob. Turn the knob clockwise to
increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease pres-
sure. To avoid minor readjustment after making a change in
pressuresetting, always approach the desired pressure from
a lower pressure. When reducing from a higher to a lower
setting, first reduce to some pressure less than that desired,
then bring up to the desired pressure. Depending on the air
requirements of each particular accessory, the cutlet regu-
lated air pressure may have to be adjusted while you are
operating the accessory.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
Items Needed for Assembly
• a 9/16" socket or open-end wrench for attaching the
wheels
• a 3/8" open-end wrench to tighten handle screws
Installing Handle
1. Insert the open end of the handle under the saddle (Fig. 1).
Before attaching handle, you may have to pullthe open
ends of the handle apart so they fit tightly against the side
ofthe saddle. Lookingin from the open end of the saddle,
positionthe handle toward the two bent tabs, onthe inside
wallsof the saddle. Slowly push the open ends of the
handle onto both tabs at the same time (Fig.2). Continue
pushing the handle into the saddle untilthe holes on the
side of the saddle and handle are inline.
2. Guide the straight end ofeach retaining clip through the
saddle hole and both handle holes (Fig.3).
3. Rotate each retainingc_ipclockwise and press down until
it snaps intoplace overthe pullhandle (Fig. 4).
4. If the handle hasexcessive movement, it isimproperly
installed,Check the following.
A. Are both tabs insidethe handle (Step #1)?
B. Does each clip passthrough both the saddle and
handle (Step #2)?
Installing Wheels, Handles, Rubber Foot Strip
It may be necessary to brace or support one end
of the outfit when attaching the wheels because
the air compressor will have a tendency to tip.
1. Remove the protective paper strip from the adhesive-
backed rubber foot strip. Attack the rubber foot strip to
the bottom of the air tank leg. Press firmly into place.
2. The leg bracket on the underside of the air compressor
tank has 2 holes on each side for mounting the wheels.
Place one shoulder bolt through the hole in a wheel. On
models with 10" wheels, push the bolt through the TOP
hole of the leg bracket. For models with 8" wheels, push
the bolt through the BOTTOM hole of the leg bracket.
Screw on one hex locking nut. The special locking nut
does not turn freely. Tighten the nut firmly until it contacts
the tank leg. The outfit will sit level if the wheels are
properly installed.
NOTE
The side of the wheel, that the hub protrudes
out past the wheel edge, should be bolted to the
compressor leg.
THE WHEELS AND HANDLE DO NOT PROVIDE
ADEQUATE CLEARANCE, STABILITY OR SUP-
PORT FOR PULLING THE UNIT UP AND DOWN
STAIRS OR STEPS. THE UNIT MUST BE UFTED
OR PUSHED UP A RAMP. DO NOT LIFT THE UNIT
BY THE MANIFOLD ASSEMBLY. THE UNIT CAN
BE DAMAGED.

INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN
PROCEDURES
Location of the Air Compressor
Operate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated
area. The fan bladed flywheel must be kept clear of obstruc-
tions that could interfere with the flow of air through the air
intake filter. The pump crankcase and head are designed with
fins to provide proper cooling.
Ifhumidity is high, an air filter can be installed on the airoutlet
adapter to remove excessive moisture. Closely follow the
instructions packaged with the filter for proper installation. It
must be installed as close as possible to the accessory.Do
not place the air compressor where heat is excessive.
When locating the compressor outside, make sure there isa
mimum of 12 inches on each side of the compressor. There
must be fresh air flow for proper cooling. DO NOT ALLOW
THE COMPRESSOR TO GET WET.
