IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
• SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS •
IMPROPER OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE OF THIS PRODUCT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY
AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT.
HAZARD
RISK OF BURSTING
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
AIR TANK
THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS COULD
LEAD TO A WEAKENING OF THE TANK, AND
RESULT IN A VIOLENT TANK EXPLOSION:
FAILURE TO PROPERLY DRAIN
1.
CONDENSED
CAUSING RUST AND THINNING OF THE
STEEL TANK.
2. MODIFICATIONS OR ATTEMPTED
REPAIRS TO THE TANK.
3. UNAUTHORIZED MODIFICATIONS TO
THE PRESSURE SWITCH, SAFETY
VALVE, OR ANY OTHER COMPONENTS
WHICH CONTROL TANK PRESSURE.
WATER FROM THE TANK,
ATTACHMENTS & ACCESSORIES
EXCEEDING THE PRESSURE RATING OF
AIR TOOLS, SPRAY GUNS, AIR OPERATED
ACCESSORIES, TIRES AND OTHER
INFLATABLES CAN CAUSE THEM TO EX-
PLODE OR FLY APART, AND COULD RESULT
IN SERIOUS INJURY.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
DRAIN TANK DAILY OR AFTER EACH USE.
IF TANK DEVELOPS A LEAK, REPLACE IT
IMMEDIATELY WITH A NEW TANK OR NEW
COMPRESSOR OUTFIT.
NEVER DRILL INTO, WELD, OR MAKE ANY
MODIFICATIONS TO THE TANK OR ITS
ATTACHMENTS.
THE TANK IS DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND
SPECIFIC OPERATING PRESSURES. NEVER
MAKE ADJUSTMENTS OR PARTS SUBSTITUTIONS TO ALTER THE FACTORY SET
OPERATING PRESSURES.
FOR ESSENTIAL CONTROL OF AIR PRESSURE, YOU MUST INSTALL A PRESSURE
REGULATOR AND PRESSURE GAUGE TO
THE AIR OUTLET OF YOUR COMPRESSOR.
FOLLOW THE EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURERS RECOMMENDATION AND NEVER
EXCEED THE MAXIMUM ALLOWABLE PRESSURE RATING OF ATTACHMENTS. NEVER
USE COMPRESSOR TO INFLATE SMALL
LOW-PRESSURE OBJECTS SUCH AS
CHILDREN’S TOYS, FOOTBALLS,
BASKETBALLS. ETC.
RISK OF
EXPLOSION OR FIRE
EXCESSIVE VIBRATION CAN WEAKEN THE
AIR TANK OF A STATIONARY COMPRESSOR
AND CAUSE AN EXPLOSION.
IT IS NORMAL FOR ELECTRICAL
CONTACTS WITHIN THE MOTOR AND
PRESSURE SWITCH TO SPARK.
IF ELECTRICAL SPARKS FROM COMPRES-
SOR COME INTO CONTACT WITH
FLAMMABLE VAPORS, THEY MAY IGNITE,
CAUSING FIRE OR EXPLOSION.
RESTRICTING ANY OF THE COMPRESSOR
VENTILATION OPENINGS WILL CAUSE
SERIOUS OVERHEATING AND COULD
CAUSE FIRE.
3 ENG
THE COMPRESSOR MUST BE PROPERLY
MOUNTED, SEE INSTALLATION PROCE-
DURES.
ALWAYS OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR IN
A WELL VENTILATED AREA FREE OF
COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE
OR SOLVENT VAPORS.
IF SPRAYING FLAMMABLE MATERIALS,
LOCATE COMPRESSOR AT LEAST 20
FEET AWAY FROM SPRAY AREA. AN
ADDITIONAL LENGTH OF HOSE MAY BE
REQUIRED.
STORE FLAMMABLE MATERIALS IN A
SECURE LOCATION AWAY FROM
COMPRESSOR.
NEVER PLACE OBJECTS AGAINST OR ON
TOP OF COMPRESSOR. OPERATE COMPRESSOR IN AN OPEN AREA AT LEAST 12
INCHES AWAY FROM ANY WALL OR
OBSTRUCTION THAT WOULD RESTRICT
THE FLOW OF FRESH AIR TO THE
VENTILATION OPENINGS.

HAZARD
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
RISK OF
ELECTRICAL SHOCK
RISK FROM
FLYING OBJECTS
YOUR AIR COMPRESSOR IS POWERED BY
ELECTRICITY. LIKE ANY OTHER ELECTRI-
CALLY POWERED DEVICE,
PROPERLY IT MAY CAUSE ELECTRIC SHOCK.
REPAIRS ATTEMPTED BY UNQUALIFIED
PERSONNEL CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH BY ELECTROCUTION.
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING:
PROVIDE ADEQUATE GROUNDING TO THIS
PRODUCT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS
INJURY OR DEATH FROM ELECTROCUTION.
SEE GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS.
THE
COMPRESSED AIR STREAM CAN CAUSE
SOFT TISSUE DAMAGE TO EXPOSED SKIN
AND CAN PROPEL DIRT, CHIPS, LOOSE
PARTICLES AND SMALL OBJECTS AT HIGH
SPEED, RESULTING IN PROPERTY DAMAGE
OR PERSONAL INJURY.
IF IT IS NOT USED
FAILURE TO
NEVER OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR OUTDOORS WHEN IT IS RAINING OR IN WET
CONDITIONS.
NEVER OPERATE COMPRESSOR WITH
COVER COMPONENTS REMOVED OR DAM-
AGE.
ELECTRICAL WIRING OR REPAIRS
ANY
REQUIRED ON THIS PRODUCT
PERFORMED BY AUTHORIZED SERVICE
CENTER PERSONNEL IN ACCORDANCE WITH
NATIONAL AND LOCAL ELECTRICAL CODES.
MAKE CERTAIN THAT THE ELECTRICAL
CIRCUIT TO WHICH THE COMPRESSOR IS
CONNECTED PROVIDES PROPER ELECTRICAL GROUNDING, CORRECT VOLTAGE AND
ADEQUATE FUSE PROTECTION.
ALWAYS WEAR ANSI Z87.1 APPROVED
SAFETY GLASSES WITH SIDE SHIELDS WHEN
USING THE COMPRESSOR.
NEVER POINT ANY NOZZLE OR SPRAYER
TOWARD ANY PART OF THE BODY OR AT
OTHER PEOPLE OR ANIMALS.
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE COMPRESSOR,
BLEED PRESSURE FROM THE AIR HOSE AND
TANK, AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER
SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTE-
NANCE OR ATTACHING TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES.
SHOULD BE
RISK TO BREATHING
RISK FROM
MOVING PARTS
RISK OF BURNS
THE COMPRESSED AIR FROM YOUR COMPRESSOR IS NOT SAFE FOR BREATHING!
THE AIR STREAM MAY CONTAIN CARBON
MONOXIDE, TOXIC VAPORS OR SOLID PARTICLES.
SPRAYED MATERIALS SUCH AS PAINT, PAINT
SOLVENTS, PAINT REMOVER, INSECTICIDES,
WEED KILLERS, ETC.. CONTAIN HARMFUL
VAPORS AND POISONS.
THE COMPRESSOR CYCLES AUTOMATI-
CALLY WHEN THE PRESSURE SWITCH IS IN
THE ON/AUTO POSITION.
MOVING PARTS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS
INJURY OR DAMAGE IF THEY COME INTO
CONTACT WITH YOU OR YOUR CLOTHING.
ATTEMPTING TO OPERATE OR REPAIR
COMPRESSOR WITH PROTECTIVE SHROUDS
REMOVED CAN EXPOSE YOU TO MOVING
PARTS AND ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
TOUCHING EXPOSED METAL SUCH AS THE
COMPRESSOR HEAD OR OUTLET TUBE CAN
RESULT IN SERIOUS BURNS.
NEVER INHALE AIR FROM THE COMPRESSOR EITHER DIRECTLY OR FROM A BREATH-
ING DEVICE CONNECTED TO THE COMPRESSOR.
WORK IN AN AREA WITH GOOD CROSSVENTILATION. READ AND FOLLOW THE
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED ON THE
LABEL OR SAFETY DATA SHEETS FOR THE
MATERIAL YOU ARE SPRAYING. USE A
NIOSH/MSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR DE-
SIGNED FOR USE WITH YOUR SPECIFIC
APPLICATION.
ALWAYS TURN OFF THE COMPRESSOR,
BLEED PRESSURE FROM THE AIR HOSE AND
TANK, AND DISCONNECT FROM POWER
SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTE-
NANCE OR ATTACHING TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES.
DO NOT REMOVE THE PROTECTIVE COVERS
FROM THIS PRODUCT. NEVER OPERATE THE
COMPRESSOR WITH GUARDS OR COVERS
WHICH ARE DAMAGED OR REMOVED.
ANY REPAIRS REQUIRED ON THIS PRODUCT
SHOULD BE PERFORMED BY AUTHORIZED
SERVICE CENTER PERSONNEL.
NEVER TOUCH ANY EXPOSED METAL PARTS
ON COMPRESSOR DURING OR IMMEDIATELY
AFTER OPERATION. COMPRESSOR WILL
REMAIN HOT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AFTER
OPERATION.
DO NOT REACH AROUND PROTECTIVE
SHROUDS OR ATTEMPT MAINTENANCE UNTIL
UNIT HAS BEEN ALLOWED TO COOL.

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.
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 air tool.
DUTY CYCLE
When the tank pressure drops to a certain low level the motor
will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor
automatically restarts is called “cut-in pressure.”
Cut-Out Pressure: When you turn on your air compressor
and it 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.”
U.L. Listed: Products with the U.L. mark are listed by Underwriters Laboratories, Inc. (U.L.). Samples of these products
have been evaluated by U.L. and meet the applicable U.L.
standards for safety.
This manufactured air compressor 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
GENERAL INFORMATION
You have purchased an air compressor unit consisting of a 2
cylinder, single-stage air compressor pump, an air tank, and
associated controls and instruments.
This air compressor requires no oil. Now you can enjoy all the
benefits of having an air compressor without ever having to
purchase, add or change oil.
Your air compressor can be used for operating paint spray
