GLOSSARY
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
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
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.
To Lock Out Power: Place a lock on the line power switch so no one else can turn on the power.
hour is considered misuse, because the air compressor is undersized for the required air demand. Maximum compressor pumping time per hour is 30 minutes.
Accessories for this unit are available at the store the unit was purchased.
ACCESSORIES
* 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 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.

Unpacking
1. Remove all packaging.
It may be neces-
sary 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.
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 compr
es-
sor oil only.
1. Remove the oil drain plug (B) and
washer (C).

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product should be connected to a metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the product and comply with national and local electrical codes.
Refer to the product specification found in the front of this manual for the voltage and minimum branch cir­cuit requirements.
Air Distribution System
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.
The next figure represents a typical air distribution system. The following are tips to remember when setting up the air compressor’s air distribution system.
Wiring Instructions
RISK OF ELECTRI-
CAL SHOCK. Improper electrical grounding can result in electrical shock. The wiring should be done by a quali­fied electrician to comply with national and local electrical codes.
A qualified electrician needs to knows the following before wiring:
1. The amperage rating of the elec-
trical box should be adequate. Refer to the product specifica­tions, found in the front of this manual, for this information.
2. The supply line should have the
same electrical characteristics (voltage, cycle, phase) as the motor. Refer to the motor name­plate, on side of motor, for this information.
NOTE: The wiring must be the same as the motor nameplate voltage plus or minus 10%. Refer to local codes for recommended wire sizes, correct wire size, and maximum wire run; undersize wire causes high amp draw and overheating to the motor.
Electrical wiring
must be located away from hot surfaces such as manifold assembly, compressor outlet tubes, heads, or cylinders.
Page 12
12-ENGD22944
Use pipe that is the same size as
the air tank outlet. Piping that is too small will restrict the flow of air.
If piping is over 100 feet long,
use the next larger size.
Bury underground lines below
the frost line and avoid pockets where condensation can gather and freeze. Fill lines with air pres­sure before covering to make sure pipe joints are free from leaks.
Install a flexible coupling between the air discharge outlet and main air distribution line to allow for vibration.
NOTE: The shut-off valve is not sup­plied with this unit. You must purch­sase the shut-off valve separately.
A separate regulator is recom­mended to control the air pres­sure. Air pressure from the air tank is usually too high for indi­vidual air driven tools.

Description of Operation
Become familiar with these controls before operating the unit. On/Auto/Off Switch: Turn this switch
ON to provide automatic power to the pressure switch and OFF 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.
Globe Valve (sold separately): Opens and closes air discharge valve. Turn knob counter-clockwise to open and clockwise to close.
Regulator (sold separately, not shown): An air pressure regulator or a sepa­rate air transformer which combines the functions of air regulation and/or mois­ture and dirt removal is recommended for most applications.
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. 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: 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 continuous leaking after unit reaches "cut-out" pressure.
Air Intake Filter (not shown) This filter is designed to clean air coming into the pump. This filter must always be clean and ventilation openings free from obstructions. See "Maintenance".
Before Starting Break-in Procedure
Serious damage may result if the following break-in
instructions are not closely followed.
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.
1. Make sure the On/Auto/Off lever is in the "OFF" position.
2.
Recheck all wiring. Make sure wires are secure at all terminals connections. Make sure all contacts move freely and are not obstructed.
3. Open the globe valve fully to permit air to escape and prevent air pressure
build up in the air tank during the break-in period. NOTE: The shut-off
valve is not supplied with this unit. You must purchase the shut-off valve separately.
4. Move the On/Auto/Off lever to "ON/AUTO" position. The compressor will start.
5. Run the compressor for 20 minutes. Make sure the globe valve is open and there is minimal air pressure build-up in tank.

How to Start
1. Turn the On/Auto/Off lever to "AUTO" and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure.
2. When the tank pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure open the globe valve.
IMPORTANT: When using regulator and other accessories refer to the manu­facturer-s instructions.
NOTE: Always operate the air compressor in well-ventilated areas free of gaso­line or other combustible vapors. If the compressor is being used to operate a sprayer, DO NOT place compressor near the spray area.
Before Each Start-Up:
1. Place On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF".
2. Close the globe valve.
3. Attach hose and accessories. NOTE: A regulator MUST be installed when using accessories rated at less than 175 PSI.
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.
6. Check all air line fittings and connections/piping for air leaks by applying a
soap solution. Correct if necessary. NOTE: Minor leaks can cause the air compressor to overwork, resulting in premature breakdown or inadequate performance.
7. Check for excessive vibration. Readjust or shim air compressor feet, if
necessary.
8. After 20 minutes, close the globe valve. The air receiver will fill to "cut-out"
pressure and the motor will stop.

To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air compressor outfit, a rou­tine maintenance schedule should be prepared and followed. The following routine maintenance schedule is geared to an outfit in a normal working envi­ronment operating on a daily basis. If necessary, the schedule should be modi­fied to suit the conditions under which your compressor is used. The modifica­tions will depend upon the hours of operation and the working environment. Compressor outfits in an extremely dirty and/or hostile environment will require a greater frequency of all maintenance checks.
Unit cycles automatically when power is on. When per-
forming maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage
sources, compressed air, or moving parts. Personal injuries can occur. Before performing any maintenance or repair, disconnect power source from the compressor and bleed off all air pressure.
To Check Safety Valve
If the safety valve
does not work prop­erly, over-pressurization may occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion.
Unusual Noise and/or Vibration
Drive Belt-Condition Motor Pulley/Flywheel alignment

Changing
1. Remove the oil fill plug (A).
2. Remove the oil drain plug (B) and drain oil into a suitable container.
3. Replace the oil drain plug (B) and tighten securely
4. Sowly add compressor oil until the oil level is in the middle of the sightglass (C). 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.
Overfilling with oil
will cause prema­ture compressor failure. Do not overfill.
5. Replace oil fill plug (A) and tight-
en securely.
Oil
NOTE: Use a air compressor oil such
as SAE-30 (API CG/CD heavy duty motor oil). Under extreme winter con­ditions use SAE-20 weight oil. NOTE: Crankcase oil capacity is approxi­mately 60 fluid ounces (1.8 L).
Checking
1. The oil level should be to the mid­dle of the sight glass (C).
2. If needed remove oil fill plug (A) and slowly add oil until it reaches the middle of the sight glass.
To Drain Tank
NOTE: Operation of the air compres-
sor will cause condensation to build up in the air tank. Always drain tank on a washable surface or in a suit­able container to prevent damaging or staining surfaces.
1. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF".
2. Close the globe valve.
3. Remove the air tool or accessory.
4. Open the globe valve and allow the air to slowly bleed from the air tank until tank pressure is approximately 20 psi.
5. Close the globe valve.
6. Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve (counter­clockwise) on bottom of tank.
Water will con-
dense in the air tank. If not drained, water will cor­rode and weaken the air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.
7. After the water has been
drained, close the drain valve (clockwise). The air compressor can now be stored.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.

3. The belt should deflect 3/16" at midway between the pulley and the flywheel when a 5 pound weight is applied at the midway point.
4. When proper belt tension is achieved, tighten all four motor mounting screws. See Parts manual for torque specifications.
NOTE: 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" to prevent excessive belt wear. Verify the alignment by performing the fol­lowing Pulley and Flywheel ­Alignment.
Belt - Replacement
(Refer to the Outfit Parts Manual for replacement belt part number.)
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.
1. Turn air compressor off, lock
out the power supply, and relieve all air pressure from the air tank.
2. Remove the belt guard.
3. Mark pump position on saddle.
4. Loosen the motor mounting

Air Compressor Pump Intake and Exhaust Valves
Once a year have a Trained Service Technician check the air compressor pump intake and exhaust valves.
Inspect Air Lines and Fittings for Leaks
1. Turn air compressor off, lock out the power supply, and relieve all air pressure from the air tank.
2. Apply a soap solution to all air line fittings and connections/pip­ing.
3. Correct any leaks found.
IMPORTANT: Even minor leaks can cause the air compressor to over­work, resulting in premature break­down or inadequate performance.
Motor Pulley/Flywheel Alignment
NOTE: Once the motor pulley has
been moved from its factory set loca­tion, the grooves of the flywheel and pulley must be aligned to within 1/16" to prevent excessive belt wear.
The air compressor flywheel and motor pulley must be in-line (in the same plane) within 1/16" to assure belt retention within flywheel belt grooves. To check alignment, per­form the following steps:
1. Turn air compressor off, lock out the power supply, and relieve all air pressure from the air tank.
2. Remove belt guard.
3. Place a straightedge against the outside of the flywheel and the motor drive pulley.
4. Measure the distance between the edge of the belt and the straightedge at points A1 and A2 in figure. The difference between measurements should be no more than 1/16".
5. If the difference is greater or less than 1/16" loosen the set screw holding the motor drive pulley to the shaft and adjust the pulley’s position on the shaft until the A1 and A2 measurements are within 1/16" of each other.
6. Tighten the motor drive pulley set screw. See Parts manual for torque specifications.
Air compressor Head Bolts ­Torquing
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. Retighten if necessary. See Parts manual for torque specifications.
7. Visually inspect the motor drive pulley to verify that it is perpen­dicular to the drive motor shaft. Points B1 and B2 of Figure 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 in step 2.
8. Retighten the motor drive pulley setscrew. See Parts manual for torque specifications.
9. Reinstall belt guard.

SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS
Unit cycles automat-
ically when power is on. When doing Maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air or moving parts. Personal injuries can occur. Before performing any Maintenance or repair, unplug the compressor and bleed off all air pressure.
ALL MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OPERATIONS NOT LISTED MUST BE PERFORMED BY TRAINED SERVICE TECHNICIAN.
Before servicing:
Unplug or disconnect electrical supply to the air compressor.
Bleed tank of pressure. Allow the air compressor to
cool.
To Replace or Clean Check Valve
1. Release all air pressure from air
tank. See "To Drain Tank" in the Maintenance section.
2. Turn air compressor off, lock out
the power supply, and relieve all air pressure from the air tank.
3. Using an adjustable wrench
loosen outlet tube nut at air tank and pump. Carefully move outlet tube away from check valve.
4. Using an adjustable wrench
loosen pressure relief tube nut at air tank and pressure switch. Carefully move pressure relief tube away from check valve.
5. Unscrew the check valve (turn counterclockwise) using a 7/8" open end wrench. Note the orientation for reassembly.
6. Using a screwdriver, carefully push the valve disc up and down. NOTE: The valve disc should move freely up and down on a spring which holds the valve disc in the closed position, if not the check valve needs to be cleaned or replaced.
7. Clean or replace the check valve. A solvent, such as paint or varnish remover can be used to clean the check valve.
8. Apply sealant to the check valve threads. Reinstall the check valve (turn clockwise).
9. Replace the pressure release tube. Tighten nuts.
10. Replace the outlet tube and tighten nuts.

Motor
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 On/Auto/Off lever in the Off position.
2. Allow the motor to cool.
3. Depress the red reset button on the motor.
Additional Service
Disassembly or service of the air compressor beyond what is covered in this manual is not recommended. If additional service is required, contact your nearest Authorized Warranty Service Center.
Reset Button
4. Place the On/Auto/Off lever in the On/Auto postion to restart the motor.
IMPORTANT: If the overload protec­tor shuts the motor off frequently, check for a possible voltage problem. Low voltage can also be suspected when:
1. The motor does not get up to full power or speed.
2. Fuses blow out when starting the motor; lights dim and remain dim when motor is started and is run­ning.
STORAGE
Before you store the air compressor, make sure you do the following:
1. Review the "Maintenance" sec­tion on the preceding pages and perform scheduled maintenance as necessary.
2. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF".
3. Close the globe valve.
4. Remove the air tool or accessory.
5. Open the globe valve and allow the air to slowly bleed from the air tank until tank pressure is approximately 20 psi.
6. Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve (counter­clockwise) on bottom of tank.
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.
7. After the water has been drained,
close the drain or drain valve.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.
8. Protect the air hose from damage
(such as being stepped on or run over).
