BASIC AIR COMPRESSOR COMPONENTS

Oil free air compressors are factory lubricated for life and do not require

any oil.

The basic components of the air compressor are the electric motor, pump,

pressure switch and tank.

The electric motor (A) powers the pump. The electric motor is equipped with

an overload protector and an automatic reset. If the motor becomes

overheated, the overload protector will shut it down to prevent damage to

the motor. When the motor sufficiently cools, it will automatically reset.

The pump (A) compresses the air and discharges it into the tank.

The tank (B) stores the compressed air.

The pressure switch (C) shuts down the

motor when the air pressure in the tank

reaches the cut-out pressure. As compressed

air is used and the pressure level in the tank

drops to the cut-in pressure, the pressure

switch restarts the motor automatically,

without warning and the pump resumes

compressing air.

COMPRESSOR CONTROLS

A. AUTO/OFF SWITCH

This switch turns on the compressor. It is operated manually, but when in

the ON position, it allows the compressor to start up or shut down

automatically, without warning, upon air demand. ALWAYS set this switch to

OFF when the compressor is not being used,

and before unplugging the compressor.

B. PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE

The air compressor is equipped with a

pressure relief valve that is designed to

discharge tank pressure at a predetermined

setting when a systems failure occurs.

Check the pressure relief valve periodically

by pulling on the ring only when the tank

pressure is completely drained. The spring

loaded valve should move freely within the

pressure relief valve body. An inoperable

. 2

V0.1 3 Gallon Portable Air Compressor 8474959

Visit www.princessauto.com for more information 9

pressure relief valve could allow an excessive amount of tank pressure to

build causing the air tank to catastrophically rupture or explode. Do not

tamper with or attempt to eliminate the pressure relief valve.

C. TANK PRESSURE GAUGE

This gauge measures the pressure level of the air stored in the tank. It is not

adjustable by the operator, and does not indicate line pressure.

D. AIR PRESSURE REGULATOR

This air pressure regulator enables you to adjust line pressure to the tool

you are using. Turn the knob clockwise to increase pressure, and

counterclockwise to decrease pressure.

E. REGULATED PRESSURE GAUGE

This gauge measures the regulated outlet pressure.

F. AIR LINE OUTLET

Connect an air hose to this outlet.

ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION

Letter references in parenthesis (A) refer to the included Identification Key.

This unit is preassembled.

LOCATION INSTALLATION

Locate the compressor according to the following guidelines:

1. Position the compressor near a grounded electrical outlet. Avoid using

an extension cord; use a longer hose instead.

2. The flywheel side of the compressor must be at least 12 inches (30 cm)

from any wall or obstruction, in a clean, well-ventilated area, to ensure

sufficient air flow and cooling.

3. In cold climates, locate the compressor in a heated building to reduce

problems with lubrication, motor starting, and freezing of water

condensation.

4. The compressor must be level to ensure proper lubrication of the pump

and good drainage of the moisture in the tank.

OPERATION

PRE-START CHECKLIST

1. Always operate the compressor in a level position to allow the tank to drain.

8474959 3 Gallon Portable Air Compressor V0.1

10 For technical questions call 1-800-665-8685

2. Inspect/clean/change intake elements on a regular basis. The ingestion

of dirt into the pump is the primary cause of premature wear. Check

intake filters daily.

3. Check tension of bolts and hardware on a regular basis. Operation of

any equipment with loose bolts and/or fittings will lead to excessive

vibration and the premature failure of the compressor system control

components.

4. Drain moisture from the air tank daily. Water is a natural by-product of

compressed air. Drain the air tank after each use to combat internal

tank corrosion. Keep drain valves open if storing compressor for any

length of time.

DAILY START UP

WARNING! High temperatures are generated by the electric motor and the

pump. To prevent burns or other injuries, DO NOT touch the compressor

while it is running. Allow it to cool before handling or servicing. Keep

children away from the compressor at all times.

WARNING! When adjusting from a higher to a lower

pressure, turn the knob anticlockwise past the desired

setting, then turn clockwise to reach the desired

pressure. Do not exceed operating pressure of the tool

or accessory being used.

1. Turn the pressure switch to the OFF position (A).

(Fig. 3)

2. Close the tank drain valve (D). (Fig. 4)

3. Plug in the power cord.

4. Turn the pressure switch to the

AUTO position (C).

5. Adjust the air pressure regulator to

the working pressure of the tool

being used.

SHUTDOWN

1. Turn the pressure switch to the OFF position (A).

2. Unplug the power cord.

3. Reduce pressure in the tank by slowly opening the drain valve at the

bottom of the tank (B). The escaping air will also blow condensation out.

Leave the drain valve open until the next use.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

WARNING! Only qualified service personnel should repair the tool. An

improperly repaired tool may present a hazard to the user and/or others.

CAUTION! Always unplug or shut down your compressor and drain the air

tank completely before attempting any type of maintenance. Wait for

compressor to cool before servicing.

1. Maintain the device with care. A device in good condition is efficient,

easier to control and will have fewer problems.

2. Inspect the device components periodically. Repair or replace damaged

or worn components.

3. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

4. Drain tank of moisture after each day’s use. If unit will not be used for a

while, it is best to leave drain valve open until such time as it is to be

used. This will allow moisture to completely drain out and help prevent

corrosion on the inside of tank (Fig. 4).

5. Inspect the device fittings, alignment and hoses periodically. Have

damaged or worn components repaired or replaced by an authorized

technician.

a. Pull the pressure relief valve daily to ensure that it is operating

properly and to clear the valve of any possible obstructions.

b. Check that all connections are tight and don’t leak.

6. Maintain the device’s label and nameplate. These carry important

information. If unreadable or missing, contact Princess Auto Ltd. for

replacements.
