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

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.

Wiring Instructions
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
Specification Chart, 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 must be the same
as 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.
Electrical wiring
must be located
away from hot surfaces such as
manifold assembly, compressor
outlet tubes, heads, or cylinders.
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. 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.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product should be connected to
a metallic, permanent wiring system,
of an equipment-grounding terminal
or lead on the product.
Air Distribution System
Plastic or PVC pipe
is not designed for
use with compressed air.
Regardless of its indicated
pressure rating, plastic pipe can
burst from air pressure. Use only
metal pipe for air distribution lines.
The next figure represents a typical
air distribution system. The following
are tips to remember when setting up
the air compressor’s air distribution
system.

• Use pipe that is the same size as
the air tank outlet. Piping that is
too small will restrict the flow of
air.
• If piping is over 100 feet long,
use the next larger size.
• Bury underground lines below
the frost line and avoid pockets
where condensation can gather
and freeze. Apply pressure
before underground lines are
covered to make sure all pipe
joints are free of leaks.
• A flexible coupling is
recommended to be installed
between the air discharge outlet
and main air distribution line to
allow for vibration.
• A separate regulator is
recommended to control the air
pressure. Air pressure from the
tank is usually to high for
individual air driven tools.

D24450
Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank
pressure gauge indicates the reserve
air pressure in the tank.
Globe Valve: Opens and closes air
discharge valve. Turn knob counter-
clockwise to open and clockwise to
close.
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.
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).

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.
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 continuous
leaking after unit reaches "cut-out"
pressure.
Air Intake Filter (not shown) This
filter is designed to clean air coming
into the pump. This filter must always
be clean and ventilation openings
free from obstructions. See

should be modified to suit the
conditions under which your
compressor is used. The
modifications will depend upon the
hours of operation and the working
environment. Compressor outfits in
an extremely dirty and/or hostile
environment will require a greater
frequency of all maintenance checks.
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.
●
Inspect air lines and fittings
for leaks
17- ENG

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
stored.
NOTE: If drain valve is plugged,
release all air pressure. The valve can
then be removed, cleaned, the
reinstalled.
Air Filter - Inspection and
Replacement
Hot surfaces. Risk
of burn.
Compressor heads are exposed
when filter cover is removed.
Allow compressor to cool prior to
servicing.
A dirty air filter will not allow the
compressor to operate at full
capacity. Keep the air filter clean at
all times.
1. Remove the air filter cover.
2. Remove the air filter and make
sure it is clean.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate the
compressor with the air filter
removed.
3. If dirty, rinse air filter with warm
water and squeeze dry.
4. Replace air filter and air filter
cover.
Air Filter

Cover
Motor
The motor has an automatic reset
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. The
compressor will automatically restart
after the motor cools.
If the overload protector shuts the
motor off frequently, check for a
possible voltage problem. Low
voltage can also be suspected when:
1. The motor does not get up to full
power or speed.
2. Fuses blow out when starting
the motor; lights dim and remain
dim when motor is started and is
running.
Air Compressor Pump Intake
and Exhaust Valves
Once a year have a Trained Service
Technician check the air compressor
pump intake and exhaust valves.
NOTE: If the air filter is extremely
dirty it will need to be replaced. Refer
to the "Repair Parts" for the correct
part number.
Inspect Air Lines and Fittings
for Leaks
1. Turn the air compressor on to
inspect for air leaks.
2. Apply a soap solution to all air
line fittings and
connections/piping.
3. Correct any leaks found.
IMPORTANT: Even minor leaks can
cause the air compressor to
overwork, resulting in premature
breakdown or inadequate
performance.

7. Unscrew the check valve (turn
counterclockwise) using a 7/8"
open end wrench. Note the
orientation for reassembly.
8. Using a screwdriver, carefully
push the valve disc up and
down. NOTE: The valve disc
should move freely up and down
on a spring which holds the valve
disc in the closed position, if not
the check valve needs to be
cleaned or replaced.
9. Clean or replace the check valve.
A solvent, such as paint or
varnish remover can be used to
clean the check valve.
10. Apply sealant to the check valve
threads. Reinstall the check valve
(turn clockwise).
11. Replace the pressure release
tube. Tighten nut.
12. Replace the outlet tube and
tighten nut.
13. Replace the shroud and air filter.
14. Perform the Break-in Procedure.
See "Break-in Procedure" in the
Operation section.
