The Model H4517/H4518 represents
a heavy load at 60 pounds. Seek
assistance before moving.
This air compressor is shipped from the
manufacturer in a carefully packed carton.
If you discover the machine is damaged
after you have signed for delivery, and the
truck and driver are gone, you will need to
file a freight claim with the carrier. Save the
containers and all packing materials for
possible inspection by the carrier or its
agent. Without the packing materials, filing
a freight claim can be difficult.
If you need
assistance determining whether you need
to file a freight claim, or with the procedure
to file one, please contact our Customer
Service at (570) 546-9663.
When determining where to set up the air
compressor in the shop or when taking the
air compressor to a job site, the most
important consideration is access to an
adequate and properly fused power supply. Refer to
Circuit Requirements for the
needs of your particular compressor.
Also, make sure the compressor is not
operating in an environment where there
are explosives, flammable or caustic
fumes or gases. A clear and well ventilated
area is best for safe operation.
Place the compressor on a solid and level
surface. Make sure that the hoses you
attach to your pneumatic device will be
unrestricted in movement and not subject
to being run over by vehicles or punctured
by any sharp objects in the area.
Since air compressors are often used for a
sustained period of time, sometimes in
restricted areas, it is also best to wear ear
protection to avoid long term exposure to
the sound of the electric motor and piston.
Long term exposure to this machine
may cause hearing loss. Wear
approved hearing protection while
operating this machine to minimize
this risk!
Unpacking
Site Placement
Do not place the compressor next to
any flammable liquids or gas! The
compressor cylinder head and feed
pipe can reach high temperatures and
could cause the flammable gas to
ignite. Keep work area clear from
flammable gas when using the compressor.
Model H4517/H4518 Air Compressors-6-
CIRCUIT REQUIREMENTS
The Model H4517/H4518 Air Compressor
is wired for 110V, single-phase operation
only. The maximum amperage draw for the
machine is 17 amps, with a fusing level rating of 20 amps.
It is best to operate a compressor on a
dedicated circuit, i.e. a circuit where there
are no other electrical appliances plugged
in. The fuse requirements above assume
the use of a circuit breaker or a slow-blow
fuse. If an unusual load does not exist and
the compressor still breaks the circuit, contact a qualified electrician or our service
department at (570) 546-9663.
110V Operation
Extension Cords
In the event of an electrical short, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance to disperse electric current. These machines are
equipped with power cords having an
equipment-grounding conductor. See
Figure 1. The outlet must be properly
installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
Grounding
Figure 1. Ground plug configuration.
If you find it necessary to use an extension
cord with your compressor, make sure the
cord is rated Standard Service (grade S) or
better. Refer to the chart in the standard
safety instructions to determine the minimum gauge for the extension cord. The
extension cord must also contain a ground
wire and plug pin. Always repair or replace
extension cords when they become worn
or damaged.
Overheating, short circuit, and fire
damage may result from inadequate
wiring. Follow the guidelines in this
section.
Potential for electrical shock hazard,
this equipment must be grounded.
Verify that any existing electrical
outlet and circuit you use is actually
grounded.
Model H4517/H4518 Air Compressors -7-
PREPARING FOR USE
Before using your Grizzly Air
Compressor, follow these steps:
1. Remove all packing materials and any
protective plastic bags, zip tie labels
or tags from the compressor.
2. Be sure the air filter is attached to the
cylinder head as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 3. Proper oil level.
4. Make sure the drain valve on the air
tank is closed.
3. ADD OIL TO THE CRANKCASE. Oil
has been supplied with your air compressor. Remove the oil breather on
top of the crankcase and add oil into
the hole. The oil level should be in the
center of the sight gauge shown in
Figure 3.
NOTICE
The machine should never be run
without a full oil reservoir. The oil
provides lubrication to the cylinder
rings which deliver the compressed
air. Severe damage to the internal
moving parts can occur if there is
not adequate oil flow. Check the oil
level frequently, and change the oil
every 3 months.
Figure 2. Air filter attached to
cylinder hear.
Duty Cycle
5. Know and understand the duty cycle
of the compressor before operating.
Overheating, short circuit and fire
damage will result from operating
beyond the recommended duty
cycle. Severe injury and property
damage could occur.
The Model H4517/H4518 Air Compressor
should NOT be operated on more than a
50% duty cycle. (This means an air compressor that pumps air for over 30 minutes
in one hour is considered misuse. Also,
this could mean that the air compressor is
undersized for the required air demand.)
Note—
The maximum compressor pump
time per hour is 30 minutes.
Model H4517/H4518 Air Compressors-8-
STARTING
To start the air compressor:
1.
Make sure the compressor switch is in
the
OFF position (lever with red cap
above pressure gauges shown in
Figure 4) before connecting to the
power supply.
Figure 4. ON/OFF lever.
Check the pressure gauge to see that the
tank pressure climbs to approximately 100115 PSI or around 8 BAR, then automatically turns off.
Note—
If the compressor does not automatically kick off, flip the ON/OFF switch to
OFF before the pressure gets too high.
See the Pressure Regulator section.
Operating this equipment has the
potential for flying debris to cause
eye injury. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when operating equipment. Everyday glasses or reading
glasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are not safety glasses.
Be certain the safety glasses you
wear meet the appropriate standards
of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).
2. Close the drain valve, shown in
Figure 5, so the tank can build up
pressure.
3. Double check the oil level to make
sure it is at the proper height.
4. Connect the compressor to the power
supply.
5. Flip the switch to the ON position
(where it reads
AUTO).
Figure 5. Drain valve location.

The tank pressure is displayed on the left
pressure gauge, and the air to be delivered
to the tool is displayed on the right pressure gauge, shown in
Figure 6.
AIR CONTROL
Delivered Pressure
Figure 8. Safety drain valve.
There are two ways to release air from the
compressor tank other than through your
regulator and the use of air tools:
—The drain valve
—The safety drain valve
To release air by using the drain valve, you
simply turn the release nut to allow air to
flow out of the tank. The drain valve is
shown in
Figure 5. The drain valve is also
used to drain condensation that builds up
in the tank.
The safety valve automatically releases
pressure if the tank reaches 130 PSI.
To manually release the air in the tank
by using the safety drain valve:
1.
Locate the safety drain valve on the
tank. The drain valve is shown below
in
Figure 8.
Air Release
2. Pull the metal ring on top of the safe-
ty valve to bleed pressure from the
tank. Note—
The ring is preset to
release air if the tank exceeds its
maximum pressure.
DO NOT try to
adjust the safety valve pressure setting!
Note—The air tool that you attach to the air
compressor should have a preferred PSI
operating level. Set the pressure to be
delivered to the tool according to the
required level of the tool.
Understand the
duty cycle of the air compressor.
Model H4517/H4518 Air Compressors-10-
The pressure regulator has been factory
set for the highest quality operating performance.
The pressure regulator ensures the pump
will shut off when the correct PSI is
reached for the air compressor tank.
Tank Pressure
Regulator
Figure 9. Pressure Regulator
To adjust the pressure regulator:
1. Unplug the air compressor from
the power supply.
2.
Make sure the compressor switch is in
the
OFF position.
3. Drain the pressure from the tank.
4. Remove the black ON/OFF switch
cover by removing the screw which is
in the recess on the top of the cover.
Pull the black cover up and set it
aside.
5. Turn the pressure adjustment screw
(
Figure 9) a half turn clockwise to
increase the tank pressure and a half
turn counter-clockwise to decrease
the pressure.
6. Connect the compressor to the power
supply and start compressor.
7. If the PSI level still needs adjustment,
repeat
steps 1 through 6.
8. Replace the cover when the proper
adjustments have been made.
NOTICE
The Model H4517/H4518 Air
Compressors have been factory set
to kick off at the proper PSI range.
Only attempt to adjust the pressure
regulator if your air compressor
does not reach or pressurizes
beyond the proper PSI level.
Model H4517/H4518 Air Compressors -11-
To connect air tools to your air compressor:
1.
Make sure the compressor model you
use has a sufficient cubic feet per
minute (CFM) output for the air tool
you plan to connect. (Most air tools
will have an air requirement stated in
terms of a specific CFM at a specific
pressure.)
2. The compressor should put out a
higher CFM than the tool requires.
If you are connecting multiple tools
that will be used simultaneously, then
the CFM for each tool should be
added together and compared to the
compressor output value.
3. Connect the tool, using a good quality
air line with an adequate length to
reach from the compressor to the
point of use.
Note
—Quick-connect couplers, shown in
Figure 10, are a good option for a fast and
sure connection of tools and air hoses.
Consideration should also be given to the
type of usage. A nailer or staple gun uses
air in short bursts and it is easier for the
compressor to maintain pressure. A paint
sprayer or grinder tends to use a more
continuous stream of air as these tools are
run for longer time periods. It is always
better to oversize a compressor to allow
for variation in the type of usage and the
number of tools to be powered. Air tools
being operated with insufficient air volume
will not perform their function satisfactorily.
Figure 10. Quick connect couplers
CONNECTING TOOLS
Always disconnect air hose from
tools whenever not in use or while
servicing! During maintenance, a
tool connected to air may operate
accidentally, causing serious personal injury!
These couplers are included with the air
compressor. Make certain the air hose will
not be placed in a position where it can
become constricted or cut by a sharp
object. Note—
Running over a hose with
heavy vehicles may not cause an immediate leak, but it will shorten the life of the
hose.
The Model H4517/H4518 Air
Compressors are specifically
designed for air tool operation. DO
NOT MODIFY OR USE THIS
MACHINE FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE. Modifications or improper
use of this tool will void the warranty. If you are confused about any
aspect of this machine, DO NOT use
it until you have answered all your
questions. Serious personal injury
may occur.
Model H4517/H4518 Air Compressors-12-
MAINTENANCE
3. Clean off the cylinder head cooling
fins. Dirt interferes with heat transfer.
4. Check for worn or damaged cords
and plugs.
5. Check for any other condition that
could hamper the safe operation of
this machine.
6. Check the safety drain valve to make
sure it is working properly.
Each Use
Regular periodic maintenance on your
air compressor will ensure its optimum
performance. Make a habit of inspecting your compressor each time you use
it. Check the following items:
1. Check Oil Level!
Use the sight gauge
on the bottom of the crankcase to
make sure the oil level is at the proper height.
2. Drain tanks daily of any condensation
by opening the drain valve on the bottom of the tank and leave open until
the next time it is used.
Depending upon the amount of use and
the surrounding humidity, a certain amount
of condensed water may accumulate in the
tanks. For longevity of the compressor
seals and the air tools you connect, it is
best to drain water from the tanks. The
tanks are best drained if the drain valve is
open when the system is pressurized.
Always wear safety glasses and use
extreme caution when working
around compressed air. The force of
the air stream can cause small bits
of debris to become airborne and
cause potential injury to the eyes or
other parts of the body. Never let the
full force of the air stream come in
direct contact with the skin as it can
cause abrasions or bruising, penetration of skin and could even lead
to death!
Always drain the air from the tank
before performing any maintenance
or transporting your air compressor.
Damage to the air compressor while
under pressure could cause bursting or explosion and injury or property damage could occur.
The air compressor will cycle automatically when it is on. When performing any type of maintenance
always make sure the AUTO/OFF
lever is in the OFF position the unit
is unplugged and bleed out all tank
pressure.
Model H4517/H4518 Air Compressors -13-
After First 50
Hours of Use
After the first 50 working hours or 30
days, whichever comes first, the following maintenance should be done
.
1. Replace the oil in the crankcase with
compressor oil or use ISO 100 or SAE
30W viscosity, non detergent type oil.
2. Check to make sure that all the fittings
are tight.
3. Remove the air filter foam element
shown in
Figure 11 and rinse it out
with water. Allow it to dry and reinstall.
Figure 11. Air filter foam element
