BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT. Compare the

illustrations with your unit to familiarize yourself with the

location of various controls and adjustments. Save this

manual for future reference.

On/Off Switch

Place this switch

1

in the ON position 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.

Pressure Release Valve

The pressure release valve located on the side of the

pressure switch, is designed to automatically release

compressed air from the compressor head and the outlet

tube when the air compressor reaches cut-out pressure

or is shut off. The pressure release valve allows the motor

to restart freely. When the motor stops running, air will be

heard escaping from this valve for a few seconds. No air

should be heard leaking when the motor is running or after

the unit reaches 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

7

will protect

against high pressure by “popping out” at its factory set

pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch “cut-out”

setting).

FIG. B

Check Valve

When the air compressor is operating, the check valve

“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.

Tank Pressure Gauge

The tank pressure gauge

2

indicates the reserve air

pressure in the tank.

Regulated Pressure Gauge

The regulated pressure gauge

3

indicates the air pressure

available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is

controlled by the regulator.

Regulator

The regulator

4

controls the air pressure shown on the

outlet pressure gauge. Turn regulator knob clockwise

to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease

pressure.

FIG. C

Drain Valve

The drain valve

8

is located at the base of the air tank and

is used to drain condensation at the end of each use. See

Draining Air Tank under Maintenance.

ENGLISH

FIG. D

Cooling System

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

The pump 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.

Motor Overload Protector

The motor has a thermal overload protector. If the motor

overheats for any reason, the overload protector will shut off

the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down before

restarting. To restart:

1. Set the On/Off switch

1

to OFF and unplug unit.

2. Allow the motor to cool.

3. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit

receptacle.

4. Set the On/Off switch to ON position.

Oil Dipstick

The oil dipstick

10

indicates the amount of oil in the pump.

Check pump oil daily, see Compressor Pump Oil under

Maintenance.

Air Intake Filter

The filter

12

is designed to clean air entering the 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.

5. Reassemble air filter to unit. Ensure inlet points down.

NOTICE: Risk of unsafe operation. Do not operate

without air inlet filter

Draining Air Tank (Fig. A)

NOTE: The amount of water drained from the tank after

each use will depend on the time of use and the amount of

humidity in the operating environment. If no water comes

out of the drain valve, the valve may be clogged. If the valve

is clogged, release all air pressure from tank. The valve can

then be removed, cleaned and reinstalled.



WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Risk from noise.

Air tanks contain high pressure air. Keep face and

other body parts away from outlet of drain. Use safety

glasses [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/CSA Z94.3)] when draining

as debris can be kicked up into face. Use ear protection

[ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)] as air flow noise is loud when

draining.

NOTE: All compressed air systems generate condensate

that accumulates in any drain point (e.g. tanks, filter,

aftercoolers, dryers). This condensate contains lubricating

ENGLISH

oil and/or substances which may be regulated and must be

disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal laws

and regulations.

1. Ensure On/Off switch is in the OFF position.

2. Place a suitable container under the drain valve to catch

discharge.

3. When air tank pressure gauge reads 10 PSI (68,9 kPa),

GLOSSARY

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.

kPa (kilopascal): Metric pressure measurement. 1

kilopascal equal 1000 pascals.

Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of

the following marks: UL®, CUL, CULUS, ETL®, CETL, CETLUS,

have been evaluated by OSHA certified independent safety

laboratories and meet the applicable Standards for Safety.

Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure

drops when accessory is used. 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: The circuit carrying electricity from

electrical panel to outlet.

Duty cycle: For proper operation of your air compressor, it

is recommended that a 50% duty cycle be maintained; that

is, the air compressor should not run more that 5 minutes in

any 10 minute period.

AVERTISSEMENT: RISQUE D’ÉCLATEMENT

Réservoir d'air comprimé: le 26 février 2002, la U.S.

Consumer Product Safety Commission a publié Release #

02–108 concernant la sécurité du réservoir d’air comprimé

du compresseur:

Les réservoirs récepteurs d’air comprimé du compresseur

n’ont pas une vie infinie. La vie du réservoir dépend de

nombreux facteurs, dont certains incluent les conditions de

fonctionnement, les conditions ambiantes, les installations

appropriées, les modifications de la surface et le niveau

d’entretien. L’effet exact de ces facteurs sur la vie du

récepteur d’air est difficile à prévoir.

Si les procédures d’entretien appropriées ne sont pas

suivies, la corrosion interne de la paroi intérieure du

réservoir récepteur d’air peut entraîner sa rupture

inattendue permettant à l’air comprimé de sortir

soudainement et avec force, présentant un risque de

blessure pour les consommateurs.

Le réservoir d’air de votre compresseur doit être mis

hors service d’ici la fin de l’année affichée sur l’étiquette

d’avertissement de votre réservoir.

Les conditions suivantes peuvent mener à l’affaiblissement

du réservoir d’air et entraîner une explosion violente du

réservoir d’encre:

FRENCH

Ce qui peut se

produire

Comment l’éviter

Ne pas drainer l’eau condensée

provenant du réservoir d’air,

causant de la rouille et

l’amincissement du réservoir d’air



AVERTISSEMENT: Certaines poussières créées

par le ponçage mécanique, le sciage, l’aiguisage,

le perçage et autres activités de construction

contiennent des produits chimiques reconnus dans

l’État de la Californie pour causer le cancer et des

anomalies congénitales ou autres effets nuisibles sur

la reproduction. Certains exemples de ces produits

chimiques sont:

• le plomb provenant des peintures à base de

plomb,

• silice cristallisée provenant des briques, du ciment

et d’autres produits de la maçonnerie ainsi que

• l’arsenic et le chrome provenant du bois de

construction traité chimiquement.

Votre risque à ces expositions varie selon la fréquence dont

vous effectuez ce type de travail. Pour réduire votre exposition

à ces produits chimiques: travaillez dans un endroit bien

ventilé et travaillez avec un équipement de sécurité approuvé,

comme ces masques antipoussières spécialement conçus pour

filtrer les particules microscopiques.

• Évitez le contact prolongé avec la poussière

provenant du ponçage mécanique, du sciage, de

l’aiguisage, du perçage et d’autres activités de

construction. Portez des vêtements protecteurs et

lavez les zones exposées avec du savon et de l’eau.

Permettre à la poussière d’entrer dans votre bouche, vos

yeux ou la laisser sur la peau peut favoriser l’absorption

des produits chimiques dangereux.



AVERTISSEMENT: L’utilisation de cet outil peut

générer et/ou disperser de la poussière qui peut cause

des blessures respiratoires graves et permanentes ou

d’autres blessures. Utilisez toujours une protection

respiratoire approuvée par NIOSH/OSHA appropriée

pour l’exposition à la poussière. Dirigez les particules

loin du visage et du corps.

LISEZ CE GUIDE D’UTILISATION ET LES RÈGLES DE

SÉCURITÉ AVANT D’UTILISER VOTRE APPAREIL.

Comparez les illustrations avec votre appareil pour vous

familiariser avec l’endroit où se situent les différents

commandes et les différents ajustements. Conservez ce

guide pour référence ultérieure.

Bouton Marche/Arrêt

Placez le bouton

1

en position MARCHE pour fournir une

alimentation automatique au pressostat et ARRÊT pour

éteindre l’alimentation à la fin de chaque utilisation.

Pressostat

Le pressostat

démarre automatiquement le moteur

lorsque la pression du réservoir d’air descend sous les

réglages par défaut de la pression de «réalimentation». Il

arrête le moteur lorsque la pression du réservoir d’air atteint

le réglage par défaut de la pression de «coupure».

Détendeur de pression

Le détendeur de pression situé à côté du pressostat est

conçu pour libérer automatiquement l’air comprimé

provenant de la tête du compresseur et du tube de sortie

lorsque le compresseur d’air atteint la pression de coupure

ou qu’il s’éteint. Le détendeur de pression permet au

moteur de redémarrer librement. Lorsque le moteur arrête

de fonctionner, on entendra l’air sortir de ce détendeur

pendant quelques secondes. Aucune fuite d’air ne peut

être entendue lorsque le moteur fonctionne ou après que

l’appareil ait atteint la pression de coupure.

Soupape de sureté

Si le pressostat n’éteint pas le compresseur d’air à son

réglage de pression de «coupure», la soupape de sureté

7

protègera contre la pression élevée en «surgissant» à sa

pression réglée par défaut (légèrement plus élevée que le

réglage de la pression de «coupure».

FIG. B

Clapet de non-retour

Lorsque le compresseur d’air fonctionne, le clapet de

non-retour

est «ouvert», permettant à l’air comprimé

d’entrer dans le réservoir d’air. Lorsque le compresseur d’air

atteint la pression de «coupure», le clapet de non-retour

«se ferme», permettant à la pression d’air de demeurer à

l’intérieur du réservoir d’air.

Manomètre du réservoir

Le manomètre du réservoir

2

indique la pression d’air en

réserve dans le réservoir.

Manomètre régulé

Le manomètre régulé

3

indique la pression disponible

côté sortie du régulateur. Cette pression est contrôlée par

le régulateur.

Régulateur

Le régulateur

4

contrôle la pression d’air affichée sur le

manomètre de sortie. Tournez le bouton du régulateur

dans le sens des aiguilles d’une montre pour augmenter la

pression et dans le sens inverse des aiguilles d’une montre

pour réduire la pression.

FIG. C

Soupape de vidange

La soupape de drainage

8

est située à la base du réservoir

d’air et est utilisée pour drainer la condensation à la fin de

chaque utilisation. Consultez Drainer le réservoir d’air

dans Entretien.

FIG. D

Système de refroidissement

Le compresseur comporte un système de refroidissement

à conception avancée. Au cœur du système de

refroidissement se trouve un ventilateur sophistiqué. Il est

parfaitement normal que ce ventilateur souffle de l’air par

les évents en grandes quantités. Vous savez que le système

de refroidissement fonctionne lorsque l’air est expulsé.

Pompe du compresseur d’air

La pompe comprime l’air dans le réservoir d’air. L’air de

fonctionnement n’est pas disponible jusqu’à ce que le

compresseur ait augmenté la pression du réservoir d’air

ci-dessus qui nécessite une sortie d'air.

Protecteur contre les surcharges du

moteur

Le moteur a un protecteur contre les surcharges

thermiques. Si le moteur surchauffe pour une raison

quelconque, le protecteur contre les surcharges éteindra

le moteur. Il faut laisser refroidir le moteur avant de

redémarrer. Pour redémarrer:
