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
If an extension cord must be used, be
sure it is:
• 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
• in good condition
• no longer than 50 feet
• 14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire
size increases as gauge number
decreases. 12 AWG and 10 AWG
may also be used. DO NOT USE
16 OR 18 AWG.)
The use of an
undersized
extension cord will cause voltage to
drop resulting in power loss to the
motor and overheating. Instead of
using an extension cord, increase
the working reach of the air hose by
attaching another length of hose to
its end. Attach additional lengths of
hose as needed.
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the specification chart for the
voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
Risk of Operation.
Certain air compressors can be operated on a 15
amp 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
amp circuit breaker or 15 amp
time delay fuse. NOTE: If compressor is connected to a circuit
protected by fuses, use only time
delay fuses. Time delay fuses
should be marked "D" in Canada
and "T" in the US.
If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the
compressor repeatedly causes interruption of the power, it may be necessary to operate it from a 20 amp
circuit. It is not necessary to change
the cord set.

Description of Operation
Become familiar with these controls
before operating the unit.
On(I)/Off(O) Switch: Place this switch
in the ON (I) position to provide automatic power to the pressure switch
and OFF (O) to remove power at the
end of each use.
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
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.
Outlet Pressure Gauge: The outlet
pressure gauge indicates the air pressure available at the outlet side of the
regulator. This pressure is controlled
11 - ENG A15414
by the regulator and is always less
than or equal to the tank pressure.
Regulator: Controls the air
pressure shown on the outlet
pressure gauge. Turn regulator knob
clockwise to increase pressure
and counterclockwise to decrease
pressure.
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.
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.
