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.

MAINTENANCE
WARNING
!
Release all pressure from the system before attempting to perform any maintenance!
BEFORE EACH USE
Check the air filter, the oil level, and the gasoline supply before starting the engine. Test the ACM
safety valve before starting the engine.
Pull the ring on the safety valve and let it snap back to its normal position. This valve is designed to
release air automatically when the tank pressure exceeds the preset maximum. The ACM valve must be replaced if air leaks after the ring has been
released or if the valve is stuck and cannot be activated by the ring.
DANGER
!
NEVER tamper with the ACM safety valve! Clean debris from the engine, flywheel, tank, airlines, and
pump cooling fins before attempting to start the engine.
DRIVE BELT
Belts tend to stretch as a result of normal use. The belt will deflect about 1/2 inch with five pounds of
pressure applied midway between the engine pulley and the pump (see below).
ADJUSTING THE BELT TENSION
A. Remove the belt guard B. Loosen the engine brace C. Loosen the 4 fasteners holding the engine to the
baseplate
D. Shift the motor to properly align belt . Lay a
straight edge against the face of the flywheel, touching the rim in two places (see below).
AFTER EACH USE
NOTICE
!
Be sure to drain the tanks completely after each use.
COMPLETE TANK INSPECTION
Carefully inspect the tank often for cracks forming around the welds. Remove pressure from the tank
immediately and replace the tank if a crack is detected.
DANGER
!
NEVER ever attempt to repair or modify a tank!
E.Adjust the motor or the flywheel until the belt runs
parallel to the straight edge
F. Use a gear puller to move the pulley on the shaft
and tighten the fasteners
G. Adjust the brace and reinstall
STORAGE
