DANGER: RISK OF BURSTING

Air Tank: On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety

Commission published Release # 02-108 concerning air compres-

sor tank safety:

Air compressor receiver tanks do not have an infinite life. Tank life is

dependent upon several factors, some of which include operating

conditions, ambient conditions, proper installations, field modifica-

tions, and the level of maintenance. The exact effect of these fac-

tors on air receiver life is difficult to predict.

If proper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal corro-

sion to the inner wall of the air receiver tank can cause the air tank

to unexpectedly rupture allowing pressurized air to suddenly and

forcefully escape, posing risk of injury to consumers.

Your compressor air tank must be removed from service by the end

of the year shown on your tank warning label.

The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank,

and result in a violent air tank explosion:

WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT

• Failure to properly drain

condensed water from air

tank, causing rust and thinning

of the steel air tank.

• Drain air tank daily or after each

use. If air tank develops a leak,

replace it immediately with

a new air tank or replace the

entire compressor.

• Modifications or attempted

repairs to the air tank.

• Never drill into, weld or make

any modifications to the air

tank or its attachments. Never

attempt to repair a damaged or

leaking air tank. Replace with a

new air tank.

• Unauthorized modifications to

the safety valve, or any other

components which control air

tank pressure.

• The air tank is designed

to withstand specific

operating pressures. Never

make adjustments or parts

substitutions to alter the factory

set operating pressures.

Attachments & Accessories:

• Exceeding the pressure rating

of air tools, spray guns, air

operated accessories, tires

and other inflatables can

cause them to explode or

fly apart, and could result in

serious injury.

• Follow the equipment

manufacturers

recommendation and never

exceed the maximum allowable

pressure rating of attachments.

Never use compressor to

inflate small low pressure

objects such as children’s toys,

footballs, basketballs, etc.

Tires:

• Over inflation of tires could

result in serious injury and

property damage.

• Use a tire pressure gauge to

check the tires pressure before

each use and while inflating

tires; see the tire sidewall for

the correct tire pressure.

NOTE: Air tanks, compressors

and similar equipment used to

inflate tires can fill small tires

very rapidly. Adjust pressure

regulator on air supply to no

more than the rating of the

tire pressure. Add air in small

increments and frequently use

the tire gauge to prevent over

inflation.

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

This valve (G) is designed to prevent system

failures by relieving pressure from the system

when the compressed air reaches a predeter-

mined level. The valve is preset by the manu-

facturer and must not be removed or modified

in any way.

CHECK VALVE

When the air compressor is operating, the

check valve (K) 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.

AIR INTAKE FILTER

The filter (A) are designed to clean air entering the

A

pump. To ensure the pump continually receives a

clean, cool, and dry air supply the filter must always

be clean and the filter intake must be free from

obstructions.

Oilless air compressors are factory lubricated for life and do not

require any oil.

Compatibility

Air tools and accessories that are run off the compressor must be

compatible with petroleum based products. If you suspect that a

material is not compatible with petroleum products, an air line filter

for removal of moisture and oil vapor in compressed air is required.

NOTE: Always use an air line filter to remove moisture and oil vapor

when spraying paint.

Location

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

area.

• Located the air compressor at least 12” (30.5 cm) 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.

NOTE: 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.

Wiring Instructions

WARNING: Improper electrical installation of this product

may void its warranty and your fire insurance. Have circuit wiring

performed by qualified personnel such as a licensed electrician

who is familiar with the current national electrical code and any

prevailing local electrical codes.

WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. Improper electrical

grounding can result in electrical shock. The wiring should be

done by a qualified electrician.

A qualified electrician needs to knows the following before wiring:

1. The amperage rating of the electrical box should be adequate.

Refer to the Specifications, in the parts 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 used must be rated for 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.

WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. Electrical wiring must be

located away from hot surfaces such as manifold assembly,

compressor outlet tubes, heads, or cylinders.

Grounding Instructions

WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. In the event of a short

circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an

escape wire for the electric current. This air compressor must be

properly grounded.

The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a

grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug.

1. The cord set and plug (O) with this unit contains a grounding

12

English

pin (P). This plug MUST be used with a

P

O

Q

grounded outlet (Q).

IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must

be installed and grounded in accordance

with all local codes and ordinances.

2. Ensure the outlet being used has the

same configuration as the grounded

plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.

3. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there

are signs of damage.

4. If these grounding instructions are not completely understood,

or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly

grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified

electrician.

DANGER: Risk of electrical shock. IMPROPER GROUNDING

CAN RESULT IN 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

• plug is not worn

• no longer than 50 feet (15.2 m)

• 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number

decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT

USE 14 OR 16 AWG.)

NOTICE: The use of an undersized extension cord will cause volt-

age 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. Always use a minimum 3/8”

(9.5 mm) or greater air hose rated at 300 psi.

Voltage and Circuit Protection

Refer to the Voltage and Minimum Branch Circuit Requirements

under Specifications.

CAUTION: Certain air compressors can be operated on a

15 amp circuit if the following conditions are met.

• Voltage supply to circuit must comply with the National

Electrical Code.

• Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs.

• Extension cords comply with specifications.

• Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp

time delay fuse. NOTE: If compressor is connected to a cir-

cuit protected by fuses, use only time delay fuses. Time delay

fuses should be marked “D” in Canada and “T” in the U.S.

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.
