ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Grounding instructions: In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides the path of least resistance for electrical current in order to reduce the risk of electric shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord that has a grounding wire and a grounding plug (1). The plug must be plugged into a matching power supply outlet (2) that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances, or a grounded wall socket, for optimum performance. The grounding plug has two flat-blade terminals and a grounding pin. If the grounding plug does not fit into the outlet, do not try to modify it. Have a qualified electrician repair the proper outlet.
If the compressor's electrical cord requires repair or replacement, have this done by an authorized, qualified service technician.
Guidelines for using extension cords
Note: Do not use the extension cord unless it is necessary. It is better to use a longer air hose that reaches the work area where air is needed.
Use only a three-wired extension cord that has a three-prong grounding plug that fits into a three-slot receptacle.
Ensure the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition. Always replace a damaged extension cord immediately or have it repaired by a qualified technician.
Protect the extension cords from sharp objects, excess heat and damp or wet areas.
Using extension cords with inadequately sized wires will cause a serious drop in voltage, resulting in loss of power and tool damage. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the extension cord. If in doubt, select the next heavier gauge.
Note: Recycle unwanted materials rather than disposing of them as waste. When the tool is no longer of use, sort the tool and its components in specific categories and take to the local recycling center or dispose of them in an environmentally safe way.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION
11
5 U.S. GALLONS (18.9 L) AIR COMPRESSOR 058-9308-0
General use
This Mastercraft Maximum® 5 U.S. Gallons (18.9 L) Air Compressor is designed to provide compressed air to power air tools. This compressor is provided with an ON/OFF switch, an air tank and a motor with automatic reset thermal overload protector.
Air compressor components
Air filter
The filter is attached to the compressor cylinder head for removing impurities from the air intake of the compressor.
Air tanks
These air tanks are cylindrical components that are used to store the compressed air.
Check valve
This valve is an one-way valve that is connected between the air tank and pressure transfer tube to prevent backflow of compressed air from the air tank to the compressor pump.
Drain valves
These valves are located at the bottom of the air tanks to drain moisture from the tank.
Pressure regulator knob
The knob can be adjusted to regulate the pressure at the air line outlet of the compressor. Turn the knob clockwise to increase pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease pressure.
ON/OFF switch
This switch is operated manually to turn ON or OFF the compressor. When switch is in the AUTO position, the compressor shuts down or starts up automatically based on air pressure level in the air tank. Always set this switch to OFF position when the compressor is not being used and before unplugging the compressor.
Pump
The pump is used to compress the air and discharge the compressed air into the air tank through a reciprocating piston.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION
12
5 U.S. GALLONS (18.9 L) AIR COMPRESSOR 058-9308-0
Safety relief valve
This valve automatically gets activated if the compressor does not shut down automatically due to high pressure in the air tank. To operate manually, pull the relief valve ring to relieve air pressure in the tank.
Tank pressure gauge
The gauge indicates the pressure level of stored air in the air tank. It cannot be adjusted manually.
Thermal overload protector
This protector will automatically turn OFF the compressor if the temperature of the electric motor exceeds a predetermined limit. If the thermal overload protector is activated, the motor must be allowed to cool down before starting.
Outlet pressure gauge
The gauge is used to measure the regulated pressure at the air line outlet.
Effects of moisture in compressed air
Moisture in compressed air will form droplets when passing through the pump. When humidity is high or when a compressor is in continuous use for an extended period of time, this moisture gets collected in the air tank. If the compressor is connected to air tools for spraying applications, this water will flow from the tank through the hose and outside the gun as droplets mixed with the spray material. In paint spray application, water spots will be formed on painting surface due to condensation. In sandblasting application, sand clumps will form and clog the gun, thereby causing the gun to be ineffective.
Note: To reduce the moisture in compressed air, place a filter near the gun.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS

General maintenance
Regular and periodic maintenance of the compressor ensures trouble-free operation.
Draining the air tank
Note: Drain the air tanks after each use, especially during cold weather to reduce freezing of water condensation and to prevent corrosion of the tank.
1. Turn OFF the power supply to the pump. Release air pressure in air tanks by pulling the safety valve ring.
2. Turn the drain valves counter-clockwise and tilt the air tanks to drain water and moisture completely.
3. Tighten the drain valves.
WARNING!
Potential hazard that could result in serious injury or loss of life.
Always shut OFF the compressor, remove the power plug from the electrical outlet, and release all pressure from the air system, before attempting to install, service, relocate, or perform any maintenance in the compressor.
Do not use a damaged tool. If abnormal noise or vibration occurs, rectify the problem before use.
Have the compressor repaired by an authorized service person.

Checking the safety relief valve
1. Turn ON the power supply to the compressor and allow the motor to run until cut-off pressure is reached.
2. Pull the relief valve ring to check whether it is operating properly and to clear possible obstructions of the valve.
3. Replace the safety relief valve if it does not release pressure when pulling the ring
.
Replacing the air filter
After continuous use of the compressor, the air filter may get clogged. This will reduce the air intake capacity of the compressor
.
Therefore it
is necessary to replace the air filter.
1. Turn OFF the power supply to the compressor
.
2. Remove the old air filter (1) from the motor head
(fig L).
3. Install new air filter.
CAUTION!
Potential hazard that may result in moderate injury or damage to equipment.
Wear safety glasses when opening the drain valves and pulling the safety valve ring, as the air and moisture released from the tank can propel debris that may cause eye injury.
Do not direct the fast moving air from the tank toward your face.
If the safety relief valve does not work properly, over-pressurization may occur, thereby causing air tank rupture or explosion.

Testing for leaks
Check that all connections are tight. Small leaks in the tank, hoses, connections or transfer tubes will substantially reduce the compressor performance. Spray a small amount of soapy water around the area of suspected leaks. If bubbles appear, repair, replace or reseal the faulty component. Do not overtighten any connections.
Storage
Before storing the compressor for a prolonged period, follow the steps below correctly.
Disconnect the power cord and coil it up on the handle.
Clean all dust and debris from the compressor using an air blow gun.
Pull the safety valve ring to release all pressure from the tank.
Drain all moisture from the air tank.
Clean the air filter. Replace it if necessary.
Cover the compressor to protect it from moisture and dust.

3. Clean or replace air filter.
4. Decrease the amount of air being used.
5. Check the air requirement of the air tool.
If it is higher than the CFM and pressure supplied by the compressor, use a compressor of higher capacity. Most tools are rated at 25% of actual CFM while running continuously.
6. Check and replace the air hose if required.
7. Replace the air tank immediately. Do not
attempt to repair it.
8. Replace the valve.
The pressure regulator knob does not regulate the pressure.
The regulator knob is dirty or damaged.
Replace the regulator knob.
The motor runs continuously when the ON/OFF switch is in the ON position.
1. The ON/OFF switch does not shut OFF the motor when the air compressor reaches the cut-out pressure and the safety valve activates.
2. The compressor’s capacity is not high enough.
1. Set the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position. If the motor does not shut OFF, unplug the air compressor. If the ON/OFF switch is defective, replace it.
2. Check air requirements of the accessory that is being used. If it is higher than the CFM and the pressure supplied by the compressor, use a compressor of higher capacity. Most accessories are rated at 25% of actual CFM while running continuously.
