OWNER’S MANUAL
MODEL TAC-2T
Commercial Dual Tank Compressor
The Emission Control System for this generator is warranted for standards set by the Environment Protection Agency.
IMPORTANT!
It is extremely important to read and understand the entire contents of this
Owner’s Manual for the Titan Industrial Commercial Model TAC-2T before at-
tempting to operate the compressor. This is a gasoline engine powered, commercial strength, dual tank air compressor. The gasoline engine and the compressor are both potentially hazardous and could cause physical injury or even
death if improperly used.
WARNING!
Do Not Operate Equipment until reading and
understanding Owner’s Manual!

SAFTEY GUIDELINES
The information in this manual is provided for your saftey and to protect your equipment. It is very
important to read and understand the contents of this manual before attempting to operate this
equipment. Please observe the following symbols to help recognize this information.
DANGER
!
This symbol indicates extremely hazardous situations that could cause serious injury or death!
WARNING
!
This symbol indicates potentially hazardous situations that could cause serious injury or death!
CAUTION
!
This symbol indicates potentially hazardous situations that could cause moderate or minor injuries!
NOTICE
!
This symbol indicates important information that could cause damage to the equipment!
DESCRIPTION
Air compressors are designed to provide a source of compressed air for various devices that
require it for their operation. Be sure your air compressor is on a solid, level surface before you
start it. Operating this unit on any other surface will be considered misuse and will void the warranty.
Your air compressor has a cast iron pump and is equipped with an air governor for automatic idle
down when the tanks reach a preset pressure.
Small amounts of oil may be present in the compressed air because the pumps on the air compressor are oil-lubricated. A coalescing filter would need to be installed if the compressed air must
be completely free of oil and water.
DANGER
!
Never attempt to repair a damaged tank. Any modification on a tank such as welding or drilling will
weaken the tank - which may result in rupture or explosion. Only replace worn or damaged tanks!
NEVER WELD OR DRILL A TANK

GENERAL SAFETY
The following safety precautions must be observed at all times because the compressor and components make up a high pressure system.
A. Follow all codes for the safe operation of this equipment, both local and federal (United States Occu-
pational Safety and Health - OSHA).
B. Only people that are well acquainted with the rules of safe operation should use the compressor.
C. Read and understand all manuals and instructions included with the compressor before attempting to
use it.
D. KEEP CHILDRENAWAY FROM THE UNIT.
E. Wear safety glasses and hearing protection.
F.Do not stand on the unit or attempt to use it as a hand hold.
G. Inspect the entire system for leakage, weaknesses, damage or deterioration before each use.
H. Replace or repair any defective parts before using.
I.Check all fasteners regularly.
J. Never wear loose clothing or jewelry around moving parts or equipment.
K. Keep body parts clear of moving parts.
L.Do not touch hot surfaces.
M. Stop compressor immediately if it begins to vibrate excessively.
N. Do not fill gas tank if engine is hot.
O. The engine governor is preset. Do not tamper with the setting. Excessively fast speeds will severely
shorten the life of the engine and may be hazardous.
P. Tanks may rust from moisture buildup. Rust weakens the tank. Drain the tanks on a daily basis and
inspect for anyunsafe condition.
Q. Release the air slowly when draining the tanks’ moisture or when depressurizing because fast-moving
air stirs up dust and debris which could cause damage to people or property.
R. Stop engine before leaving the area. Never leave a running unit unattended.
S. Remove spark plug wire while inspecting unit to keep it from inadvertently restarting. Allow unit to cool
before storing.
T.Locate the compressor as far away as possible from spraying area. Keep overspray from the unit.
U. Use a face mask while operating this unit.

WARNING
!
Inspect your air compressor carefully for any damage that may have occurred during transit. Be sure
to inspect and tighten all bolts, screws, and fittings
before attempting to start the unit.
Do not attempt to operate a damaged unit. It may
burst and cause serious injury or property damage!
DANGER
!
You must fit the compressor with special in-line
safety and alarm equipment before attempting to
use the compressor to supply air for human breath-
ing.
The air from the compressor must be properly
filtered with this equipment to purify it to meet
standards for Grade D breathing. The minimum
specifications for human consumption of air is
described in Compressed Gas Association Commodity Specifications G 7.1 -1966, OSHA 29 CFR
1910. 134, and/or Canadian Standards Associations CSA.
UNPACKING
DO NOT BREATHE AIR
FROM THE COMPRESSOR
WARNING
!
Your compressor comes equipped with a guard
over the drive wheel and belt assembly. Never
attempt to operator this unit if the guard is damaged or removed. Personal injury could result from
contact with moving parts.
CAUTION
!
Compressor parts may be hot even if the unit is not
running.
WARNING
!
Never remove or attempt to adjust the safety valve.
Keep it free from paint or any other accumulations.
WARNING
!
This unit may cause electrical arcs that could ignite
flammable gas or vapor. Keep flammable items
away from the compressor and keep the compressor away from flammable conditions.

ASSEMBLY & OPERATION
ASSEMBLY
LUBRICATION
The compressor is not shipped with oil installed.
Remove the oil fill cap to fill the pump with oil. Fill to
red circle on sight glass.
OPERATION
DISCHARGE TUBE
This tube carries compressed air from the pump to
the check valve. Never touch the discharge tube
because it becomes very hot during operation.
CHECK VALVE
Use only single viscosity, (SAE30), in compressor pump.
RUBBER FEET
Install the four rubber feet to the cross member if
not installed.
HOSE AND REGULATOR
Use a 3/8 inch hose and a regulator that has a
minimum rating that exceeds the maximum working
pressure of the compressor.
OPERATION
REGULATOR
The amount of air pressure released at the hose
outlet is controlled by the regulator.
ACM SAFETY VALVE
This valve will release excessive pressure if the
maximum pressure is exceeded.
DISCLAIMER
This is a one-way valve that allows air to enter the
tank but prevents air from going out of the tank.
HANDLE
The handle is provided to move the compressor.
BELT GUARD
The belt guard covers the belt and pulley.
DRAIN PETCOCK
Each tank has a drain petcock on the bottom and
is used to drain moisture from the tank. Open the
petcock and reduce air pressure below 10 p.s.i.
and allow moisture to drain. This should be done
daily to reduce the risk of corrosion.
START-UP
A. Properly fill engine with gas and oil.
B. Fill the compressor pump with oil.
C. Open the air flow by turning the outlet valve or
regulator knob counter-clockwise.
D. Turn the manual unloader lever to the vertical
position to allow the compressor engine to run
without compressing air.
TITAN INDUSTRIAL, HEREBY DISCLAIMS ANY
RESPONSIBILITY OF ANY LIABILITY WHATSOEVER FOR ANY LOSS, PERSONAL INJURY, OR
DAMAGE RESULTING FROM BREATHING AIR
FROM THE COMPRESSOR.
WARNING
!
Carbon Monoxide gas is poisonous. It is produced
by combustion in the gasoline engine and emitted
from the exhaust system on the compressor. Never
operate this unit inside a closed building or in a
poorly ventilated area.
STARTING THE ENGINE (see page 9)
Maintenance Shedule (see page4)
Your compressor will automatically unload when
maximum pressure is reached. The engine will
reduce to an idle speed until pressure is reduced
to a preset level, at which time it will automatically
accelerate and refill the tank.
