ELECTRICAL SAFETY (EXTENSION CORDS)

□ Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong

grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the product’s plug. Make sure your extension cord is not damaged. When using a power tool at a considerable distance from the power source, use an extension cord heavy enough to carry the current that the product will draw. An undersized extension cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in a loss of power and causing the motor to overheat.

□ Use the chart provided below to determine the

minimum wire size required in an extension cord. Only round jacketed cords listed by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL) should be used.

□ Only use 50 feet or less, round jacketed cords listed

by Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL).

□ When operating a power tool outside, use an

outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.

NOTE: AWG=American Wire Gauge

Wire Size (AWG)

WARNING: When using an extension cord, keep it clear of the working area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools, or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Check extension cords before each use. If damaged, replace immediately. Never use the air compressor with a damaged cord since touching the damaged area could cause electrical shock resulting in serious personal injury.

WARNING: Improperly connecting the equipment- grounding conductor can result in a risk of electrical shock.

CAUTION: Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

CAUTION: Do not expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.

CAUTION: Replace damaged cords/wiring immediately. Damaged cords/wiring increase the risk of electric shock.

NOTICE: Use longer air hoses instead of long extension cords. Your air compressor will run better and last longer.

ELECTRICAL SAFETY (ELECTRICAL CONNECTION)

□ This air compressor is powered by a precision built

electric motor. It should be connected to a power supply that is 230 volts, 60 Hz, AC only (normal household current).

□ Do not operate this tool on direct current (DC). A

substantial voltage drop will cause a loss of power and the motor will overheat. If the air compressor does not operate when plugged into an outlet, double check the power supply.

SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Part Description

AUTO(I)/OFF(0) Switch: Turn this switch in the “Auto (I)” position to provide automatic power to the

pressure switch and “Off (O)” to remove power at the end of each use.

Pressure Switch: 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 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).

Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank. Air Compressor Pump: 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.

Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the air tank and is used to drain condensation at

the end of each use.

Check Valve: 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.

Pressure Release Valve: The pressure release valve located on the side of the pressure switch, is designed to automatically release compressed air from the compressor head and the outlet tube when the air compressor reaches “cut-out” pressure or is shut off. The pressure release valve allows the

motor to restart freely. When the motor stops running, air will be heard escaping from this valve for a few seconds. No air should be heard leaking when the motor is running or after the unit reaches “cut-out” pressure.

Pre-Operation (continued)

Part Description

Thermal Overload Reset: This motor has a manual thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats

for any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting. To restart:

1. Place the AUTO/OFF switch in the “Off” position.

2. Allow the motor to cool.

3. Depress the red reset button on the motor.

4. Place the Auto/Off switch in the “Auto” postion to restart the motor.

Compressor Feet: The compressor feet are used to stabilize the compressor and used as brackets when

mounting to the floor.

Belt Guard: The belt guard is a protective enclosure for moving parts.

Pump Oil Fill: The pump oil fill is used to add oil to the crankcase. Pump Oil Drain: The pump oil drain is used to purge old oil from the pump. Loosening the drain plug will

allow oil to exit the pump crankcase.

Pump Oil Sight Glass: The pump oil sight is a visual identifier for oil level in the crank case. Motor: The motor is the drive component powered by electricity to rotate the pump by a belt pulley

system.

Air Outlet: The air outlet is connection point to provide useable air for the tools.

PLACEMENT OF THE AIR COMPRESSOR

WARNING: If any parts are damaged or missing do not operate this product until the parts are replaced. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury.

CAUTION: Do not use in an environment that is dusty or otherwise contaminated. Using the air compressor in this type of environment may cause damage to the unit.

NOTICE: Long lengths of electrical wiring could cause power loss to the motor.

□ Place the air compressor in a clean, dry, and well

ventilated area.

□ The air compressor must be positioned at least 18

in. (0.5 m) away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air.

□ Locate the air compressor as close to the main

power supply as possible to avoid using long lengths of electrical wiring.

□ The air filter must be kept clear of obstructions

which could reduce the air flow to the air compressor.

Pre-Operation (continued)

AIR DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM

The diagram on the following page represents a typical air distribution system. The following are tips to remember when setting up the air compressor’s air distribution system.

□ Use a pipe that is the same size as the air tank

outlet. Piping that is too small will restrict the flow of air.

□ If the piping is over 100 ft. (30.5 m) long, use the

next larger size.

□ Bury underground lines below the frost line and

avoid pockets where condensation can gather and freeze. Apply pressure before the underground lines are covered to make sure all the pipe joints are free of leaks.

□ A flexible coupling is recommended to be installed

between the globe valve/air discharge outlet and the main air distribution line to allow for vibration.

□ A separate regulator is recommended to control the

air pressure. Air pressure from the tank is usually too high for individual air driven tools.

□ Do not install the lubricators between the tank

and any spray equipment, air tool, or accessory requiring oil-free, filtered air.

□ Drain all traps, filters, and dirt legs daily.

WARNING: Risk of bursting. Plastic or PVC pipe is not designed for use with compressed air. Regardless of its indicated pressure rating, plastic pipe can burst from air pressure. Use only metal pipe for air distribution lines.

WARNING: Risk of bursting. Always use metal piping and fittings.

NOTICE: Compressed air from the oil lube air compressors will contain water condensation and oil mist. Several drains, traps, and filters will be needed to supply air without water (including aerosols) or oil to the spray equipment, air tools, and accessories requiring filtered air. Always read the instructions for the air tools and accessories being used.

This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into service and when the check valve or a complete compressor pump has been replaced.

□ Make sure the AUTO/OFF switch (1) is in the “Off”

position.

□ Check oil level in the pump. See the Maintenance

section for instructions.

□ Check all the wiring. Make sure the wires are

secure at all terminals and connections. Make sure all contacts move freely and are not obstructed.

□ Open the drain valve (2) fully to permit air to escape

and prevent air pressure build-up in the air tank during the break-in period.

□ Move the AUTO/OFF switch (1) to the “AUTO”

position. The compressor will start.

□ Run the air compressor for 20 minutes. Make sure

the drain valve and all air lines are open so there is only a minimal air pressure build-up in the tank.

□ Check all the air line fittings and connections/

piping for air leaks by applying a soap solution. Correct if necessary.

□ Check for excessive vibration. Readjust or shim the

air compressor feet, if necessary.

□ After 20 minutes, close the drain valve (2). The air

receiver will fill to “cut-out” pressure and the motor will stop.

The air compressor is now ready for use.

Installation

Anchoring of the air compresor

WARNING: Risk of bursting. Excessive vibration can weaken the air tank and cause an explosion. The compressor must be properly mounted.

The air compressor must be bolted to a level, solid concrete surface. Use the lag screws (CC), washers (AA), and concrete anchors (BB). If help is needed anchoring the air compressor, consult a licensed contractor.

□ Place the air compressor on a level, solid

Operation

Preparing for start-up

WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose in hand when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.

WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Do not use damaged or worn accessories.

WARNING: Risk of bursting. Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.

CAUTION: Risk of unsafe operation. Compressed air from the unit may contain wa ter condensation and oil mist. Do not spray un fil tered air at an item that could be damaged by moisture. Some air tools and accessories may require filtered air. Read the in struc tions for the air tools and accessories.

NOTE: A regulator MUST be installed when using accessories rated at less than 150 psi. The hose or accessory will require a quick connect plug if the air outlet is equipped with a quick connect socket.

□ Turn the AUTO ( I ) / OFF ( O ) switch (1) to the

OFF ( O ) position. □ Close the drain valve (2). □ Visually inspect air lines and fittings for leaks.

Starting the compressor

WARNING: Risk of bursting. If any unusual noise or vibration is noticed, stop the air compressor immediately and have it checked by a trained service technician.

NOTE: When using the regulator and other accessories, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.

□ Plug the power cord into a proper receptacle. □ Turn the AUTO ( I ) / OFF ( O ) switch (1) to the

AUTO ( I ) position, and allow the tank pressure

to build. The motor will stop when the tank

pressure reaches “cut-out” pressure.

Operation (continued)

Checking the safety valve

DANGER: Do not tamper with the safety valve. Items loosened from this device could fly up and hit you. Failure to heed this warning could result in death or serious personal injury. The safety valve automatically releases air when the receiver pressure exceeds the preset maximum. Check the valve before each day of use by pulling the ring by hand.

WARNING: If air leaks after releasing the safety valve ring or if the valve is stuck, do not use the air compressor until the safety valve has been replaced. Using the air compressor in this condition could result in serious personal injury.

□ Set the AUTO ( I ) / OFF ( O ) switch (1) to the

on position, and wait for the tank to fill. The

compressor automatically shuts off when the

pressure reaches the preset maximum. □ Set the AUTO ( I ) / OFF ( O ) switch (1) to the

off position. □ Pull the ring on the safety valve (2) for 20

seconds to release the air. □ Release the ring. Air stops escaping at

about 20 psi. If air continues to escape after

releasing the safety valve ring, discontinue

use and seek service before using the air

compressor again.

Running the air compressor

WARNING: Always ensure the switch is in the OFF position and using a regulator (not supplied) ensure pressure gauge reads zero before changing air tools or disconnecting the hose from the air outlet. Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury.

WARNING: Your tool may require more air consumption than this air compressor is capable of providing. Check tool manual to avoid damage to the tool or risk personal injury.

NOTE: Always use the minimum amount of air flow using a pressure regulator (not supplied). Using a higher pressure than needed will drain air from the tank more rapidly and cause the unit to cycle on more frequently.

□ Never leave the unit plugged in and/or running

unattended.

□ When finished, always drain the tank and unplug

the unit if applicable.

17 HUSKYTOOLS.com Please contact 1-888-43-HUSKY for further assistance.

Operation (continued)

Draining the tank

WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Air tanks contain high pressure air. Keep face and other body parts away from outlet of drain. Use eye protection [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/ CSA Z94.3)] when draining, as debris can be kicked up into face.

WARNING: Risk from noise. Use ear protection (ANSI S12.6 (S3.19), as air flow noise is loud when draining.

WARNING: Risk of bursting. Water will condense in the air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.

NOTE: All compressed air systems generate condensate that accumulates in any drain point (e.g., tanks, filter, after-coolers, dryers). This condensate contains lubricating oil and/or substances which may be regulated and must be disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations.

NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.

NOTE: Risk of property damage. Drained water from the air tank may contain oil and rust which can cause stains.

□ Set the AUTO ( I ) / OFF ( O ) switch (1) to the OFF

( O ) position. □ Slowly bleed the air from the compressor

tank by pulling the safety valve to allow the

pressure to escape from the tank until the

pressure is approximately 20 psi. □ Drain the water from the tank by opening the

drain valve (2) on the bottom of the tank. □ After the water has been drained, close the

drain valve (2). The air compressor can now

be stored.

Maintenance

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

□ Condensate forms in the tank when

there is humidity in the air. Depending on

the environmental conditions, drain the

condensate daily and/or every hour. For

instructions, see Draining the tank. □ The safety valve automatically releases air

when the receiver pressure exceeds the preset

maximum. □ Inspect the tank annually for rust, pin holes,

or other imperfections that could cause it to

become unsafe. □ Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic

parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage

from various types of commercial solvents and

may be damaged by their use. □ Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil,

grease, etc.

WARNING: When servicing, use only identical Husky replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage.

WARNING: Always release all pressure, disconnect from power supply, and allow unit to cool to the touch before cleaning or making repairs on the air compressor.

WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury. Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not recommended using this tool for extended work on these types of materials. However, if you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool using compressed air.

Maintenance (continued)

CHECKING THE OIL

WARNING: Drain the tank to release the air pressure before removing the oil fill cap or oil drain plug.

CAUTION: Overfilling with oil will cause premature air compressor failure. Do not overfill.

NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Use air compressor oil only. Multi-weight automotive engine oils like 10W30 should not be use in the air compressors. They leave carbon deposits on critical components, thus reducing performance and compressor life.

□ The oil level should be to the middle of the sight

glass (3).

□ If needed, remove the oil fill plug (1) and slowly

add the oil until it reaches the middle of the sight glass.

NOTE: Use 30W compressor oil or a heavy duty SAE 30W, non-detergent, SF grade or better oil. Do not use multi-weight automotive engine oils, as they will reduce compressor life. Under extreme winter condition use SAE-10 weight oil.

CHANGING THE OIL

□ Remove the oil fill plug (1). □ Remove the oil drain plug (2) and drain the oil

into a suitable container.

□ Replace the oil drain plug (2) and tighten

securely.

□ Slowly add the compressor oil until it reaches

the middle of the sight glass (3).

NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is approximately 10.6 fluid ounces (313,5 ml).

NOTE: When filling the crankcase, the oil flows very slowly into the pump. If the oil is added too quickly, it will overflow and appear to be full.

□ Replace the oil fill plug (1) and tighten securely.

Maintenance (continued)

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER

From time to time, the air filter needs to be removed and cleaned.

□ Turn the air compressor OFF ( O ). □ Unplug the air compressor. □ Unsnap the air filter cover (1) to remove. □ Remove the air filter (2) from the air filter

housing (3).

□ Blow compressed air through the air filter for

10-15 seconds.

REPLACING THE BELT

WARNING: Serious injury or damage may occur if parts of the body or loose items get caught in moving parts. Never operate the outfit with the belt guard removed. The belt guard should be removed only when the air compressor power is disconnected.

□ Turn the air compressor off, lock out the power

supply, and relieve all air pressure from the air tank.

□ Remove the four fasteners from the belt guard.

The front belt guard can now be lifted up and

away from the unit. □ Mark the pump position on the saddle. □ Loosen the motor mounting screws and slide the

motor toward the air compressor. □ Remove the belt and replace with a new one. □ Mark the pump position on the saddle. □ See Adjusting the Belt Tension before tightening

the motor mounting screws.

Maintenance (continued)

ADJUSTING THE BELT TENSION

NOTICE: Once the engine pulley has been moved from its factory set location, the grooves of the flywheel and pulley must be aligned to within 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) to prevent excessive belt wear. Verify the alignment by performing the MOTOR PULLY/FLYWEEL ALIGNMENT on the following page.

□ Slide the motor into the original position, and

line the motor up with the mark made earlier on

the saddle. □ Tighten the two outside motor mounting screws

enough to hold the motor in place for checking

the pulley and flywheel alignment. □ The belt should deflect 3/16 in. (4.8 mm) at

midway between the pulley and the flywheel

when a five-pound (2.26 kg.) weight is applied at

the midway point. □ When proper belt tension is achieved, tighten all

four motor mounting screws. Torque to 20-25

Maintenance (continued)

MOTOR PULLEY/FLYWHEEL ALIGNMENT

The air compressor flywheel and motor pulley must be in-line (in the same plane) within 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) to assure belt retention within the flywheel belt grooves. To check the alignment, perform the following steps:

□ Turn the air compressor off, lock out the power

supply, and relieve all air pressure from the air

tank. □ Remove belt guard. □ Place a straightedge (4) against the outside of

the flywheel (1) and the motor drive pulley (3). □ Measure the distance between the edge of the

belt (2) and the straightedge at points A1 and A2.

The difference between measurements should

be no more than 1/16 in. (1.6 mm). □ If the difference is greater than 1/16 in.

(1.6 mm), loosen the set screw holding the

motor drive pulley (3) to the shaft and adjust the

pulley’s position on the shaft until the A1 and A2

measurements are within 1/16 in. (1.6 mm) of

each other. □ Tighten the motor drive pulley set screw. □ Visually inspect the motor drive pulley to verify

that it is perpendicular to the drive motor shaft.

The points (B1 and B2) should appear to be

equal. If they are not, loosen the setscrew of the

motor drive pulley and equalize B1 and B2, using

care not to disturb the belt alignment performed

previously. □ Retighten the motor drive pulley setscrew.

Torque to 145–165 in.-lbs. (16.4–20.3 Nm). □ Reinstall the belt guard.

Maintenance (continued)

AIR COMPRESSOR INTAKE AND EXHAUST VALVES

Once a year bring the compressor to a service center and have a trained service technician check the air compressor pump intake and exhaust valves.

INSPECT AIR LINES AND FITTINGS FOR LEAKS

NOTICE: Even minor leaks can cause the air compressor to overwork, resulting in premature breakdown or inadequate performance.

□ Turn the air compressor off, lock out the power

supply, and relieve all air pressure from the air

tank. □ Apply a soap solution to all air line fittings and

connections/piping. □ Correct any leaks found.

TORQUING THE AIR COMPRESSOR HEAD BOLTS

The air compressor pump head bolts should be kept properly torqued. Check the torques of the head bolts after the first five hours of operation.

□ Torque to 14–16 ft.-lbs. (19.0–21.7 Nm).

Care and Cleaning

□ Drain the air tank of moisture after operation. □ When not in use, store the compressor in a cool, dry place. □ Disconnect the air hose and hang open ends down to allow any moisture to drain. □ Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage (such as being stepped on or run over).

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible Cause Solution

The compressor does not run.

□ The tank has insufficient

pressure.

□ There is no eletrical power

to the unit.

□ The circuit breaker has

tripped or a fuse has blown at the main power source.

□ The thermal overload

protector is actuated.

□ When the tank pressure drops, the

compressor will turn on to cut-in pressure.

□ Verify the wiring connection inside the

pressure switch and the terminal box area.

□ Check the fuse/breaker to determine the

underlying cause.

□ Turn the air compressor OFF ( O ). □ Wait until the compressor cools down.

□ Depress the red reset button on the

motor.

□ Turn the air compressor to AUTO ( I ).

The motor hums while running slowly, or it does not run at all.

The compressor is making squealing sounds.

The compressor is experiencing restricted air intake.

□ There is loss of power or

overheating.

□ The pressure switch is bad. □ Replace the pressure switch.

□ There is low voltage from

the power source.

□ There are loose eletrical

connections.

□ There is a shorted or open

motor wiring.

□ There is a defective check

valve or unloader.

□ The compressor pump has

no oil.

□ The belt is too loose. □ Check the belt tension.

□ The air filter is dirty. □ Clean or replace the air filter.

□ Verify the wiring.

NOTE: Long lengths of electrical wiring could cause power loss to the motor.

□ Check the voltage with a voltmeter.

□ Verify the wiring connections inside the

pressure switch and the terminal box area is secure.

□ Bring the compressor to a service center.

□ Check the pump oil.

Troubleshooting (continued)

Problem Possible Cause Solution

The compressor is making knocking sounds.

There is excessive belt wear. □ The belt is too loose. □ Check the belt tension.

There is oil and/or moisture in the tank and/or air lines.

There is excessive moisture in the discharge air.

The fuses blow or the circuit breaker trips repeatedly.

□ There is a loose pulley. □ Tighten the pulley set screw. □ There is a loose flywheel. □ Tighten the flywheel screw. □ The compressor mounting

screws are loose. □ The belt is too loose. □ Check the belt tension. □ An excessive amount of

carbon has build-up in the

pump. □ The belt is too tight. □ Check the belt tension.

□ The belt is too tight. □ Check the belt tension. □ The pully is loose. □ Bring the compressor to a service center. □ The pulley is misaligned. □ Align the pulley/flywheel. □ The connections (fittings,

tubing, etc.) are loose and

leaking. □ The drain valve is loose

or open. □ The check valve is leaking. □ Bring the compressor to a service center. □ There is excessive water in

the air tank. □ The oil blow-by has

accumulated in the pump.

□ The incorrect fuse size is

being used, or the circuit is

overloading.

□ Tighten the mounting screws.

□ Bring the compressor to a service center.

□ Check all the connections with a soap

and water solution and tighten.

□ Tighten the drain valve.

□ It is normal for oil lube air compressor

pumps to release some oil into the tank and air lines. Air compressors will also generate water condensation that will form in the tank and air lines. Install water and oil filter traps when needed. The Typical Compressed Air Distribution System section provides a guideline. Contact or call Husky Customer Service for more information.

□ IMPORTANT: If the tank or air lines have

excessive water and/or oil, bring the compressor to a service center.

□ Verify the proper fuse size is being used.

□ Use time-delay fuses.

□ There are loose eletrical

connections.

□ There is a defective check

valve or unloader.

□ Disconnect other electrical appliances

from the circuit or operate the compressor on its own branch circuit.

□ Verify the wiring connection inside the

pressure switch and the terminal box area.

□ Bring the compressor to a service center.
