GLOSSARY

SPECIFICATIONS

Model No. CPLC7060V

Horsepower Peak 7.0
Voltage/Hertz/Phase 240V/60/1
Minimum Branch Circuit Requirement 15 Amp

* Fuse Type Time Delay

Air Tank Capacity (Gallon) 60 ASME, Vertical
Approximate Cut-in Pressure 110 PSIG
Approximate Cut-out Pressure 135 PSIG
SCFM @ 40 PSIG 12.1
SCFM @ 90 PSIG 9.7

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.
ASME: American Society of Mechanical Engineers; made, tested, inspected and

registered to meet the standards of the ASME.
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 the factory set low pressure
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 factory set 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.

ACCESSORIES

Accessories for this unit are available at the store the unit was purchased.

* This air compressor can be operated on a 15 amp circuit if:

1. Voltage supply to circuit is normal.

2. Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs (lights, appliances, etc.)

3. Extension cords comply with specifications in owners manual.

4. Circuit is equipped with 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp time delay fuse
marked Type D.

If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the air 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.

* A circuit breaker is preferred. Use only a fuse or circuit breaker that is the same
rating as the branch circuit on which the air compressor is operated. If the air com­pressor is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use dual element time delay
fuses.

To Add Oil To Pump

Compressors are shipped without oil. A small amount

of oil may be present in the pump upon receipt of the
air compressor. This is due to plant testing and does not mean the
pump contains oil. Do not attempt to operate this air compressor
without first adding oil to the crankcase. Serious damage can result
from even limited operation unless filled with oil and broken in cor­rectly. Make sure to closely follow initial start-up procedures.

Multi-Viscosity motor oils, like 10W 30, should not be

used in an air compressor. They leave carbon
deposits on critical components, thus reducing performance and
compressor life. Use air compressor oil only.

NOTE: Use an air compressor oil such as SAE-20 API CG/CD heavy duty motor oil.

Under extreme winter conditions use SAE-10 weight oil.

1. Place unit on a level surface.

2. Remove oil fill plug (A) and slowly add a com­pressor oil until it is even with the top of the
oil fill hole. NOTE: Do not allow oil to be lower
than 3/8" (6 threads) from the top at any time.
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.
NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is approximate­ly 16 fluid ounces.

3. Replace oil fill plug.

Tools Required for Assembly

1 - 9/16” socket or open end wrench

Electric drill

Unpacking

1. Remove all packaging.

It may be necessary to brace or support one side of
the outfit when removing the pallet because the air

compressor will have a tendency to tip.

2. Remove and discard the (4) screws and washers holding the compressor to the
pallet.

3. With the help of another person carefully remove air compressor from pallet
and place on a level surface.

ASSEMBLY

INSTALLATION

Location of the Air Compressor

• Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry, and well ventilated area.

• Located the air compressor at least 12" 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. Long lengths of electrical wiring
could cause power loss to the motor.

• The air filter must be kept clear of obstructions which could reduce air flow to
the air compressor.
