Additional Safety for Air Compressors
Serious impact injury or death can occur from bursting tank, attachment tool, distribution
line, or hose. Contact with hot compressor parts can result in burns. Operating this tool in an
environment without proper ventilation or near combustible materials can lead to explosions
or fires. Eyes and other soft tissues can be easily injured by air streams and debris projected
by compressed air or attachment tools. To reduce the risk of these hazards, operator and
bystanders MUST completely heed hazards and warnings below.
TANK INTEGRITY. Inspect tank, attachment
tools, pump, air lines, and valves for rust, damage,
weakness, leaks, looseness, or excessive wear
and repair/replace damaged components before
operating. Replace a damaged tank immediately.
DO NOT attempt to weld on, modify, or repair tank.
Modifying tank can affect tank integrity and cause
tank to burst.
ATTACHM ENT TO OLS. Always wear ANSIapproved eye protection and any additional personal protective equipment required by attachment tools. Pneumatic tools can propel objects
and debris at high speeds or even explode. Never
use damaged tools—they are even more likely to
rupture. DO NOT exceed pressure ratings of tools
or attachments as lines and seals may burst. Use
proper air hose for tool and confirm air hose is
long enough to reach work area without stretching.
Do not carry attachment tool with hand on trigger
to reduce risk of accidental firing. Always relieve
outlet air line and hose before attaching/removing
tools. Disconnect hose or tool from compressor
when not in use.
MODIFICATIONS. DO NOT adjust or remove
safety relief valve, pressure switch, or otherwise
modify machine. Do not install shut-off valve
between compressor pump and tank. Check, safety, and pressure valves are adjusted at factory for
correct tolerances and abilities of compressor and
are designed to keep tank and other components
from bursting.
INTENDED USE. DO NOT use compressed air
as breathable air supply and DO NOT aim compressed air or air tools at body parts or people.
Compressed air can injure or propel debris into
eyes or other soft tissues. Do not use compressor to inflate low-pressure objects that are likely to
burst (like children’s toys).
DAILY MAINTENANCE. Test safety relief valve
daily to dislodge any blockages and confirm it is
working correctly. Drain moisture from tank daily to
prevent internal corrosion that could weaken tank.
DISTRIBUTION LINES. Use only stainless steel,
copper, or aluminum for air delivery/distribution
lines. NEVER use PVC because it cannot withstand the pressure, heat, condensation, and oils of
compressed air and may shatter, creating dangerous shrapnel.
VENTILATION. Only operate in well-ventilated
environment that is less than 100°F and keep compressor at least 18 inches from nearest wall. DO
NOT obstruct airflow to air filters and ventilation
openings. Regularly check and change air filters to
avoid buildup of impurities and reduce risk of fire.
COMBUSTION. Compressor motor, pressure
switch, and some pneumatic attachment tools
often produce sparks. Only operate compressor
in area free of combustible materials to prevent
fires and explosions. When spraying, locate air
compressor at least 20 feet from spray area, do
not smoke, and do not spray flammable material in confined area near flame/compressor. Turn
compressor OFF when unattended. Motor could
overheat and create fire hazard.
HOT PARTS. Discharge line and other compressor pump parts heat up during operation. Do not
touch these parts during or immediately following
operation to prevent burns.
MOVING AND SERVICING. Disconnect power,
allow compressor to cool, bleed air from system,
and disconnect attachment tools and hoses before
moving or servicing to prevent impact injuries, soft
tissue injuries, and burns.

SECTION 2: POWER SUPPLY
Before installing the machine, consider the availability and proximity of the required power supply
circuit. If an existing circuit does not meet the
requirements for this machine, a new circuit must
be installed. To minimize the risk of electrocution,
fire, or equipment damage, installation work and
electrical wiring must be done by an electrician or
qualified service personnel in accordance with all
applicable codes and standards.
or equipment damage
not properly grounded
The full-load current rating is the amperage a
machine draws at 100% of the rated output power.
On machines with multiple motors, this is the
amperage drawn by the largest motor or sum of all
motors and electrical devices that might operate
at one time during normal operations.
The full-load current is not the maximum amount
of amps that the machine will draw. If the machine
is overloaded, it will draw additional amps beyond
the full-load rating.
If the machine is overloaded for a sufficient length
of time, damage, overheating, or fire may result—
especially if connected to an undersized circuit.
To reduce the risk of these hazards, avoid overloading the machine during operation and make
sure it is connected to a power supply circuit that
meets the specified circuit requirements.
Note: Circuit requirements in this manual apply to
a dedicated circuit—where only one machine will
be running on the circuit at a time. If machine will
be connected to a shared circuit where multiple
machines may be running at the same time, consult an electrician or qualified service personnel to
ensure circuit is properly sized for safe operation.
For your own safety and protection of
A power supply circuit includes all electrical
equipment between the breaker box or fuse panel
in the building and the machine. The power supply circuit used for this machine must be sized to
safely handle the full-load current drawn from the
machine for an extended period of time. (If this
machine is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use a time delay fuse marked D.)
This machine is prewired to operate on a power
supply circuit that has a verified ground and meets
the following requirements:

unsure about wiring practices or electrical
codes in your area.
Since this machine must be permanently connected to the power supply, an extension cord
cannot be used.
Connection Type
A permanently connected (hardwired) power supply is typically installed with wires running through
mounted and secured conduit. A disconnecting
means, such as a locking switch (see following
figure), must be provided to allow the machine
to be disconnected (isolated) from the power
supply when required. This installation must be
performed by an electrician in accordance with all
applicable electrical codes and ordinances.

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,
grounding provides a path of least resistance
for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric
shock. A permanently connected machine must
be connected to a grounded metal permanent wiring system; or to a system having an equipmentgrounding conductor. All grounds must be verified
and rated for the electrical requirements of the
machine. Improper grounding can increase the
risk of electric shock!

Anchoring to Floor
Lag shield anchors with lag screws (see below)
are a popular way to anchor machinery to a concrete floor, because the anchors sit flush with the
floor surface, making it easy to unbolt and move
the machine later, if needed. However, anytime
local codes apply, you MUST follow the anchoring
methodology specified by the code.
Before the machine can be connected to the
power source, an electrical circuit and connection device must be prepared per the POWER
SUPPLY
setup instructions in this manual must be complete to ensure that the machine has been assembled and installed properly. The disconnect switch
installed by the electrician (as recommended) is
the primary means for disconnecting or connecting the machine to the power source.

Power Connection
Anchoring machinery to the floor prevents tipping
or shifting and reduces vibration that may occur
during operation, resulting in a machine that runs
slightly quieter and feels more solid. Since this
machine is extremely top heavy, anchoring it
to the floor will also prevent injury and property
damage.
If the machine will be installed in a commercial or
workplace setting, or if it is permanently connected (hardwired) to the power supply, local codes
may also require that it be anchored to the floor.

Distribution System
Design
Once you know how large your system will be,
and what components you will install, choose a
material for the distribution lines. Stainless steel,
copper, and aluminum can withstand the force
and heat of compressed air.
When designing your air distribution system,
consider how many and what types of tools you
intend to use, and what requirements those tools
will have (see Connecting Air Tools on Page 24).
The length of hose you use to connect tools to the
system may affect how far the system needs to
reach (see Choosing Air Hoses on Page 24).
Determine what methods you will use to remove
moisture, oil, and dirt from the compressor air (see
Distribution System Components on Page 23).
Plan to add a regulator for each supply line, and
determine if you will need to add a lubricator.
Installing quick-connect couplers will allow you to
easily connect and disconnect air tools.
The compressor must be anchored at least 18
inches away from the nearest wall and 20 inches
away from any combustible spraying operations.
Air Supply Line
Air Flow
Shut-Off
Valve
Decide how you will route the distribution lines.
Forcing air flow up, against gravity, after it leaves
the compressor, will naturally prevent moisture
from proceeding through the line and reaching
your tool.
Build your system using your desired pipes, fittings, filters, drains, and regulators, then use a
flexible conduit or coupling to connect your air
compressor. This will decrease any structural
pressure on the tank and distribution pipes that
could stress and damage the components. The
Model G0954/G0955/G0956/G0957 has a shutoff valve to stop the airflow when attaching tools
or servicing individual components.
Further information about air distribution systems
is out of the scope of this manual. Consult outside
resources and books for more suggestions.

Distribution System

(Optional)
The distribution system is what delivers the air
from your compressor to the tool you wish to use.
Air delivery components can be damaged if dirt,
oil, or water enter the air supply line. An air distribution system allows you to clean the air, remove
moisture and heat, and regulate the pressure,
all after the air leaves the compressor tank and
before it enters the air tool.
Air Dryer
Before the air reaches an air tool, it must be dried
by some method or another. One option is to
install a moisture trap, which provides a place for
moisture to collect where it can be easily drained
(see "Drain Leg" in Figure 23 on Page 22 for an
example).
Another option is to install a filter (see Figure
24). The filter can be cleaned and replaced, while
any accumulated moisture is drained from a drain
valve. Many of these can filter dirt, oil, and moisture at the same time.
Air InAir Out
Filter
Element
Drain Valve
Figure 25. Example of an air filter.
Regulator
A regulator (see Figure 26) is what adjusts the
air supply line to your desired operating pressure.
The operating pressure should always be equal to
or less than the pressure that your air tool is rated
for. An air tool recommended for 70 PSI should
never be connected to a hose or system set to
higher than that operating pressure, as the tool or
valves could burst. A regulator allows tools with a
lower rating than the system to still be attached,
because the line can be adjusted to a safe level.

The last option is to install an actual air dryer. These
are better suited for large industrial applications.
Air Filter
Ensuring clean air reaches your air tools will also
extend tool life. If your method of moisture removal does not also filter out oil, dirt, and debris, we
recommend also adding an in-line air filter (see
Figure 25).
Outgoing Air

Lubricator
After water, debris, and oil from the compressor
and environment have been removed, some air
tools require lubrication be added back into the
system to perform their job properly. Air line oil
can be added directly to the tool before and during use, or an in-line lubricator can be added to
the air supply line so oil is added automatically.
Only use a lubricator for tools that require it.
Adding lubrication, for instance, to a paint sprayer
can contaminate the tool and paint and prevent a
proper application.
Model G0954/55/56/57 (Mfd. Since 11/21)
-23-
Choosing Air Hoses
There are many options when it comes to hoses.
The most important aspects for an air compressor
are going to be length, diameter, and fittings. The
material of the hose is also an important consideration, but this will depend more on your application and preference.
Length
Consider your applications before deciding on a
hose length. Longer hoses, or hose connections
to extend hose length, can increase your mobility,
but will probably result in some pressure loss.
If your work area will be small, you may be able
to use a shorter hose without stretching the hose.
Never put any unnecessary stress on the hose,
valves, fittings, or air delivery system.
An air compressor becomes very hot during operation, and the pressure switch and motor often
produce sparks. Some applications, like spraying
or sanding, involve flammable material that create a fire or combustion hazard when they are
performed too close to a compressor. The hose
length must allow for the air compressor to remain
at least 20 feet away from the operation.
Fittings
Many hoses come with fittings installed. The
simplest option is to find a hose with two fittings:
one that matches the air line output port, and one
that matches your intended attachment tool. If the
hose does not match the port, a coupler may be
needed.
You will need to determine the size of the fittings and whether they are male or female (see
Figure 28). A male fitting can only attach to a
female fitting, and vice versa. There are also a
number of coupler/plug styles on the market, so
be sure the two match or you will likely not have
an airtight connection.
Male
Coupler

Male

Female

Diameter
A larger inner diameter will allow for higher airflow
delivery. Refer to Airflow Delivery (CFM) for
more information. The higher CFM a tool requires,
the larger the inner diameter of the hose will need
to be (see Figure 27).

Connecting Air Tools
There are various air tools that can be connected
to your air compressor by means of the air distribution system, and the setup will vary little across
tools, but there are a couple things to keep in
mind before connecting a tool or hose.
Airflow Delivery (CFM)
The first consideration when choosing an air tool
is whether or not the air delivery is compatible with
your compressor. Smaller compressors, capable
of less than 5 CFM, only supply enough pressure
for smaller air tools like nailers, staplers, chippers,
chisels, grinders, sanders, tire inflators, and paint
sprayers. Air hammers, impact wrenches, impact
hammers, and blow guns will probably require a
larger compressor capable of 10-110 CFM.
-24-
Model G0954/55/56/57 (Mfd. Since 11/21)
Duty Cycle
The duty cycle of your compressor will also have
an effect on how efficient the airflow delivery is.
Refer to Figure 29 for some common duty cycles
and what they mean.
Compressor can be used for up to half
50/50
60/40
75/25
85/15

Compressing air produces a lot of heat, so the
pump and motor require some resting time in
order to cool down. The "cycle" of an air compressor refers to how long it takes for the compressor
to be used and subsequently cooled. The duty
cycle dictates what percentage of the cycle you
can spend using air before it must rest.
of its cycle (spends same amount of
time resting as it does working).
Compressor can be used for up to 60%
of its cycle; spends 40% of time resting.
Compressor can be used for up to 75%
of its cycle; spends 25% of time resting.
Compressor can be used for up to 85%
of its cycle; spends 15% of time resting.
Compressor does not need to rest.
Engine/motor has a cooling component
allowing for constant air delivery.
Figure 29. Common duty cycles.
Connecting Air Tool
Use the following steps as a guide for attaching
an air tool. As there are a wide variety of tool and
hose options, your connections may differ slightly
from this simple outline.
Always wear personal protective equipment
required by air tool you are using. Pneumatic
grinders, sanders, paint sprayers, etc.,
require respirator to protect against longterm respiratory damage. Prolonged
exposure to loud tools can result in hearing
loss without the use of hearing protection.

Checking for Leaks
Air leaks will cause low air output and increase
the time the compressor must run. Use the following method to check the valves and fittings on
your compressor and air delivery system.
— If V-belt is in good condition and there is
1
⁄4" of deflection, belt does not need to be
adjusted or replaced. Proceed to Step 7.
— If V-belt is cracked, torn, excessively worn,
damaged, or there is not 1⁄4" of deflection,
proceed to Step 4.
Loosen (4) hex nuts on hex bolts shown in
4.
Figure 44, then push motor towards pump to
release belt tension.
— If V-belt is damaged, replace belt.
Checking for Leaks
1. Close output port shut-off valve (see
Figure 45).

Adjusting Cut-In/
Cut-Out Settings
The pressure switch ensures the compressor will
turn ON when the tank pressure drops to the cutin pressure, and will turn OFF when the pressure
cut-out is reached. Should the pressure switch fail
to turn OFF the machine, the safety relief valve
will open shortly after the pressure exceeds the
cut-out pressure and prevent over-pressurization.
Cut-in and cut-out settings have been
factory set at proper PSI range. Only adjust
pressure switch settings if compressor
is cutting-in or cutting-out at incorrect
pressures. Tank could burst if filled with
more pressure than it is designed for.
Eye injury hazard! Always
wear safety glasses when
handling pressurized air
system.
Adjusting Cut-In/Cut-Out Settings
If the minimum and maximum tank pressure settings both have to be raised or lowered at the
same time, then follow these steps.
Releasing air through safety relief valve
can be extremely loud. Protect hearing with

Pulley alignment is an important factor in power
transmission and belt life. The motor pulley should
be parallel to the pump flywheel and they should
be in the same plane (coplanar) for optimum
performance.
The motor pulley alignment can be adjusted by
loosening the set screws that secure it to the
motor shaft.

Wiring Safety Instructions
SHOCK HAZARD. Working on wiring that is con-
nected to a power source is extremely dangerous.
Touching electrified parts will result in personal
injury including but not limited to severe burns,
electrocution, or death. Disconnect the power
from the machine before servicing electrical components!
MODIFICATIONS. Modifying the wiring beyond
what is shown in the diagram may lead to unpredictable results, including serious injury or fire.
This includes the installation of unapproved aftermarket parts.
WIRE CONNECTIONS. All connections must
be tight to prevent wires from loosening during
machine operation. Double-check all wires disconnected or connected during any wiring task to
ensure tight connections.
CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS. You MUST follow
the requirements at the beginning of this manual
when connecting your machine to a power source.
WIRE/COMPONENT DAMAGE. Damaged wires
or components increase the risk of serious personal injury, fire, or machine damage. If you notice
that any wires or components are damaged while
performing a wiring task, replace those wires or
components.
MOTOR WIRING. The motor wiring shown in
these diagrams is current at the time of printing
but may not match your machine. If you find this
to be the case, use the wiring diagram inside the
motor junction box.
CAPACITORS/INVERTERS. Some capacitors
and power inverters store an electrical charge for
up to 10 minutes after being disconnected from
the power source. To reduce the risk of being
shocked, wait at least this long before working on
capacitors.
