GLOSSARY
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
hour is considered misuse, because
ACCESSORIES
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.
the air compressor is undersized for
the required air demand. Maximum
compressor pumping time per hour is
30 minutes.
When the tank pressure drops to a
certain low level 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 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.

INSTALLATION
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
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 (see following
illustrations). The plug must be used
with an outlet that has been installed
and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
1. The cord set and plug with this
unit contains a grounding pin.
This plug MUST be used with a
grounded outlet.
HOW TO SET UP YOUR
UNIT
Location of the Air Compressor
Locate the air compressor in a clean,
dry and well ventilated area. The air
compressor should be located at
least 12" away from the wall or other
obstructions that will interfere with
the flow of air. The air compressor
pump and shroud are designed to
allow for proper cooling. The
ventilation openings on the
compressor are necessary to
maintain proper operating
temperature. Do not place rags or
other containers on or near these
openings.

D24461
Extension Cords
Use extra air hose instead of an
extension cord to avoid voltage drop
and power loss to the motor, and to
prevent overheating.
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
• no longer than 50 feet
• 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.)
Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to the Parts Manual for the
voltage and minimum branch circuit
requirements.
Certain air compressors can be
operated on a 15 amp circuit if the
following conditions are met.
1. Voltage supply through branch
circuit is 15 amps.
2. Circuit is not used to supply any
other electrical needs (lights,
appliances, etc.).
3. Extension cords comply with
specifications.
4. Circuit is equipped with a 15
amp circuit breaker or 15 amp
time delay fuse. NOTE: 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.
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.

D24461
Outlet Pressure Gauge: The outlet
pressure gauge indicates the air
pressure available at the outlet side
of the regulator. This pressure is
controlled by the regulator and is
always less than or equal to the tank
pressure.
Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank
pressure gauge indicates the reserve
air pressure in the tank.
Regulator: Controls the air pressure
shown on the outlet pressure gauge.
Pull the knob out and turn clockwise
to increase pressure and
counterclockwise to decrease
pressure. When the desired pressure
is reached push knob in to lock in
place.
Universal Quick-Connect Body:
The universal quick-connect body
accepts the three most popular styles
of quick-connect plugs- Industrial,
automotive (Tru-flate), and ARO. One
hand push-to-connect operation
makes connections simple and easy.
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).

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.
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.
NOTE: Pull coupler back until it clicks
to prevent air from escaping through
the quick connect.
2.
Plug the power cord into the
correct branch circuit receptacle.
(Refer to Voltage and Circuit
Protection paragraph in the
Installation section of this
manual.)
3. Open the drain valve fully
(counter-clockwise) to permit air
to escape and prevent air
pressure build up in the air tank
during the break-in period.
4. Move the On/Auto/Off lever to
"ON/AUTO" position. The
compressor will start.
5. Run the compressor for 15
minutes. Make sure the drain
valve is open and there is
minimal air pressure build-up in
tank.
6. After 15 minutes, close the drain
valve (clockwise). The air receiver
will fill to "cut-out" pressure and
the motor will stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.

Check Safety Valve
Drain Tank
NOTE: See "Operation" section for
the location of controls.
Unit cycles
automatically when
power is on. When performing
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.
1. Before starting compressor, pull
the ring on the safety valve to
make sure that the safety valve
operates freely. If the valve is
stuck or does not operate
smoothly, it must be replaced
with the same type of valve.
To Drain Tank
1. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to
"OFF".
2. Pull the regulator knob out and
turn counter-clockwise to set the
outlet pressure to zero.
3. Remove the air tool or
accessory.
4. Pull ring on safety valve allowing
air to bleed from the tank until
tank pressure is approximately
20 psi. Release safety valve ring.
5. Drain water from air tank by
opening drain valve (counter-
clockwise) 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.
6. After the water has been drained,
close the drain valve (clockwise).
The air compressor can now be

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. Turn the regulator
counterclockwise and set the
outlet pressure to zero.
4. Remove the air tool or
accessory.
5. Pull ring on safety valve allowing
air to bleed from the tank until
tank pressure is approximately
20 psi. Release safety valve ring.
6. Drain water from air tank by
opening drain valve on bottom of
tank.

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 electrical cord and air
hose from damage (such as
being stepped on or run over).
Wind them loosely around the
compressor handle. (If so
equipped)
Store the air compressor in a clean
and dry location.
NOTE: Arrow indicates flow of air.
Make sure it is pointing in the
direction of air flow.
