2. AIR COMPRESSOR FEATURES
1) MOTOR/PRESSURE SWITCH: This switch is used to
start or stop the air compressor . Moving the switch to the
“On” position will provide automatic power to the pressure
switch which will allow the motor to start when the air
tank pressure is below the factory set “cut-in” pressure.
When in the “ON ” position, the pressure switch stops the
motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory set
“cut out” pressure. For safety purposes, this switch also
has a pressure release valve located on the side of the
switch designed to automatically release compressed air
from the air compressor pump head and its discharge
line when the air compressor reaches “cut-out” pressure
or is shut off. This allows the motor to restart freely . Moving
the switch to the “Off” position will remove power from
the pressure switch and stop the air compressor.
OFF
OFF
2) MOTOR THERMAL OVERLOAD:
The electric motor has a
manual thermal overload
protector. If the motor
overheats for any reason, the
thermal overload will cut off
power, thus preventing the
motor from being damaged.
Wait until the motor is cool
before pressing the thermal
overload button to reset and
begin working again.
3) AIR INTAKE FILTER: This filter is designed to clean
air coming into the pump. T o ensure the pump continually
receives a clean, cool, dry air supply this filter must always
be clean and ventilation opening free from obstructions.
The filter can be removed for cleaning by using warm,
soapy water. Rinse the filter and air dry. Replace filter
when necessary .
AUTO
ON
compressed air is forced out through the exhaust valves,
into the discharge line, through the check valve and into
the air tank.
5) SAFETY RELIEF VALVE:
This valve is designed to prevent
system failures by relieving
pressure from the system when
the compressed air reaches a
predetermined level. The valve
is preset by the manufacturer and must not be modified
in any way. T o verify the valve is working properly , pull on
the ring. Air pressure should escape. When the ring is
released, it will reseat.
6) AIR T ANK DRAIN VALVE:
The drain valve is
used to remove
moisture from the air
tank(s) after the air
compressor is shut
off. NEVER attempt
to open the drain
valve when more
than 10 PSI of air
pressure is in the
air tank! To open the drain valve, turn the knob
counterclockwise.
7) AIR T ANK PRESSURE GAUGE: The air t ank pressure
gauge (A) indicates the reserve air pressure in the air
tank (s).
8) OUTLET PRESSURE GAUGE: The outlet pressure
gauge (B) indicates 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 air tank
pressure.
9) PRESSURE REGULA TOR: The air pressure coming
from the air tank is controlled by the regulator knob (C).
Turn the pressure regulation knob clockwise to increase
discharge pressure, and counterclockwise to decrease
discharge pressure.

ENGLISH
4) AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP: To compress air, the
pistons move up and down in the cylinders. On the
downstroke, air is drawn in through the air intake valves
while the exhaust valves remain closed. On the upstroke,
air is compressed, the intake valves close and

10) OIL DIPSTICK: The dipstick will
register the amount of oil in the pump.
Oil level should be checked on a daily
basis to ensure it does not exceed the
maximum notch or fall below the
minimum notch on the dipstick

CAUTION: In order to avoid damaging the air compressor, do not incline the air compressor
transversely or longitudinally more than 10°.
Place air compressor at least 12 inches away from obstacles that may prevent proper ventilation. Do not place air
compressor in an area:
where there is evidence of oil or gas leaks.
where flammable gas vapors or materials may be present.
WARNING:
Serious injury or death may occur if electrical sparks from motor and pressure switch come in
contact with flammable vapors, combustible dust, gases or other combustible materials. When using
the air compressor for spray painting, place the air compressor as far away from the work area as
possible, using extra air hoses instead of extension cords.
where air temperatures fall below 32°F or exceed 104°F.
where extremely dirty air or water could be drawn into the air compressor.
ELECTRICAL
DANGER: Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of shock
or electrocution. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if you are in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded. Do not use any type of adapter with this product. If repair or
replacement of the cord or plug is necessary , do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade
terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes
is the grounding wire.
WARNING: This product must be grounded. If there should be a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current to reduce the risk of electric shock.
This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding
type plug. The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and
grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
•The Manufacturer DOES NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF EXTENSION CORDS as this can create power
loss and overheating of the motor. Use of an additional air hose is recommended rather than an extension cord. If
use of an extension cord is unavoidable, it should be plugged into a GFCI found in circuit boxes or protected
receptacles. When using an extension cord, observe the following:
Cable LengthWire Gauge
Up to 25 feet12 AWG
Up to 100 feet10 AWG
Up to 150 feet8 AWG
Up to 250 feet6 AWG
Use only 3-blade extension cords that have 3-blade grounding-type plugs and 3-slot cord connectors that will accept
the plug from the product. Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the product.
Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse
extension cord and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always shut
off the air compressor switch before removing the plug from the receptacle.
