Become familiar with these terms before operating the unit.

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.
Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of the following marks:

UL, CUL, ETL, CETL, have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent

safety laboratories and meet the applicable Underwriters Laboratories

Standards for Safety.
Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you

continue to use your accessory. 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 an air compressor is turned on and 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.

Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.

DUTY CYCLE

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.

HOW TO SET UP YOUR
COMPRESSOR.

Location of the Air Compressor

Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry
and well ventilated area. The air
compressor should be located at least
12" away from the wall or other
obstructions that will restrict the flow of
air. The air compressor pump and
shroud are designed to allow for proper
cooling. The ventilation openings on the
compressor are necessary to maintain
proper operating temperature. Do not
place rags or other containers on or
near these openings.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

DANGER! Risk of Electric
Shock. In the event of a short circuit,
grounding reduces the risk
of shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current.
This air compressor must be properly
grounded.

The portable air compressor is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with
an appropriate

grounding plug (see following
illustrations). The plug must be used with
an outlet that has been installed and
grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances.

1. The cord set and plug with this

unit contains a grounding pin.
This plug MUST be used with a
grounded outlet.

IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must
be installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.

2. Make sure the outlet being used

has the same configuration as
the grounded plug. DO NOT USE
AN ADAPTER. See illustration.

3. Inspect the plug and cord before

each use. Do not use if there are
signs of damage.

4. If these grounding instructions are

not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether the
compressor is properly grounded,
have the installation checked by a
qualified electrician.

Risk of Electric Shock. IMPROPER
GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Do not modify the plug provided. If it
does not fit the available outlet, a
correct outlet should be installed by a
qualified electrician. Repairs to the
cord set or plug MUST be made by a
qualified electrician.

Extension Cords

11

NOTE: USE EXTRA AIR HOSE INSTEAD OF
AN EXTENSION CORD TO AVOID VOLTAGE
DROP AND POWER LOSS TO THE MOTOR.
IF AN EXTENSION CORD MUST BE USED,
BE SURE IT IS:

y a 3-wire extension cord that has a

3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot
receptacle that will accept the plug
on the product

y in good condition

y no longer than 30 feet

y 14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size

increases as gauge number
decreases. 14, 12, 10, and 8 AWG
may also be used.

Voltage and Circuit Protection

Refer to the specification chart for the
voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.

Risk of Unsafe
Operation. Certain air

compressors can be operated on a 15
A circuit if the following

conditions are met.

1. Voltage supply to circuit must
comply with the National
Electrical Code.

2. Circuit is not used to supply any
other electrical needs.

3. Extension cords comply with
specifications.

4. Circuit is equipped with a 15 A
circuit breaker or 15 A
time delay fuse. NOTE: If

Description of Operation

Become familiar with these controls
before operating the unit.
Off/Auto-On Switch: Turn this switch to
"ON" to provide automatic power to the
pressure switch and "OFF" to shut off
the power.
Pressure Switch (not shown): 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

Safety Valve: If the pressure switch

12

11

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).

Outlet Pressure Gauge: The outlet
pressure gauge indicates the air
pressure available at the outlet side of
the regulator. This pressure is controlled
by the regulator and is always less than
or equal to the tank pressure.

Fuse:

Protects motor from overload. (Fuse

type 6G 12A 250V)

Regulator: Controls the air pressure

13

shown on the outlet pressure gauge.
Turn knob clockwise to increase
pressure and counterclockwise to
decrease pressure.
Female Tire Chuck: Attaches to the
hose end to be used to inflate tires.
Note: To ensure correct tire pressure
use a tire pressure gauge.
Blow Gun: Ideal for blowing, cleaning,
and inflating. Depress lever on to
release the air. Attaches to hose end.

Safety Nozzle: Prevents pressure
build-up. Attaches to blow gun outlet.
Blow Gun Adapter: Attaches to the
blow gun to allow the tapered Inflator,
inflating needle, or high flow
inflator/deflator adapter body to be
used.

Inflating needles: Used to inflate sport
balls. Requires blow gun adapter.

Tapered Inflator: Used to inflate toy
infiatables/air mattresses. Brass
tapered inflator attaches to blow gun
outlet and plastic tapered inflator
requires the blow gun adapter. Rubber
Tip Nozzle: Used to inflate toy
inflatables/air mattresses. Attaches to
blow gun outlet. High Flow

Inflator/Deflator Adapter Body:

Used with inflator/deflator nozzles it
attaches directly to the universal valve
adapter to inflate or deflate air
mattresses, small boats, inflatable toys,
and other inflatable items that use a
large volume of low-pressure air.
Requires blow gun adapter.

Inflator/Deflator Nozzles: Used with
the high flow inflator/deflator adapter
body.

Seal Ring: Used with inflator/deflator
nozzles to prevent air from leaking out
of inflatables with very large air inlets.
Drain Valve (not shown): The drain
valve is located at the base of the air
tank and is used to drain
condensation at the end of each use.

Cooling System (not shown): This
compressor contains an advanced
design cooling system. At the heart of
this cooling system is an engineered
fan. It is perfectly normal for this fan to
blow air through the vent holes in
large amounts. You know that the
cooling system is working when air is
being expelled.

Air Compressor Pump (not shown):

Compresses air into the air tank.
Working air is not available until the
compressor has raised the air tank
pressure above that required at the air
outlet.

Check Valve (not shown): 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-out"
pressure, the check valve "closes",
allowing air pressure to remain inside
the air tank.
