FOR GAS ENGINE POWERED AIR COMPRESSORS – Please note that your gas powered air compressor may not be equipped with
a spark arresting muffler. If the compressor is operated around flammable materials or agricultural crops, brush, forests, and
grasslands, an approved spark arrestor must be installed, maintained and in good working order. An approved spark arrestor is
legally required in the state of California under sections 4442 and 4443 of the California Public Resources Code Statute section
130050. Check your local and state regulations to determine if a spark arrestor is needed for your area of operation.

SYSTEM CONTROLS
(1) SAFETY-RELIEF VALVE Every ROLAIR air compressor is equipped with a safety-relief valve which is designed to discharge tank pressure at a
predetermined setting when a systems failure occurs. Check the safety valve daily by pulling on the ring only when the tank pressure is
completely drained. The spring loaded valve should move freely within the safety valve body. An inoperable safety valve could allow an excessive
amount of tank pressure to build causing the air tank to violently rupture or explode.
Do not tamper with or attempt to eliminate the safety relief valve.
(2) MANUAL OVERLOAD / MOTOR RESET Every ROLAIR electric air compressor is built with manual overload protection. If the motor overheats,
the overload sensor will trip the reset button to protect the motor. If this occurs, please allow the motor to cool for approximately five minutes.
Locate and push in the reset button. The use of an undersized or excessive length of extension cord may be the cause of overheating. Re-
evaluate the power source and gauge/length of extension cord being used. (Refer to chart on page 9)
(3) PRESSURE SWITCH Most electric air compressors are operated by the use of a pressure switch. Always make sure the lever is in the “Off”
position before plugging in the power cord. By moving the lever to the “On/Auto” position, the compressor will start and stop automatically
within the settings of the pressure switch which are typically 95 – 125 PSI. Do not attempt to stop the compressor by unplugging the power cord.
To stop, simply move the lever to the “Off” position. The lever operates a relief valve that dumps off head pressure and allows the compressor to
restart without load the next time it is used.
(4) REGULATOR – WORKING PRESSURE To adjust the output/line pressure, simply lift up on the regulator adjustment knob and rotate clockwise
to increase working pressure or counterclockwise to decrease. Push adjustment knob back down to lock in setting. Never exceed the
manufacturer’s maximum allowable pressure rating of the tool being used or item being inflated.
(5) PRESSURE GAUGE(S) Typically, most compressors are designed with a gauge to measure tank or storage pressure and another gauge attached
to the regulator that indicates output or working pressure.
(6) DRAIN VALVE(S) One or more drain valves are installed to allow moisture to be drained on a daily basis from the compressor storage tank(s).
Open drains carefully and slowly to prevent scale, rust, or debris from becoming expelled at a high rate of speed.
(7) AIR INTAKE FILTER Air intake filters are installed to prevent foreign matter from entering the engine or compressor pump. Check intake
elements on a regular basis and either clean or replace as needed. Warm soapy water or low compressed air may be used to clean the elements.
Check intake canisters or elbow components for cracks or broken seals and replace if structural problems are found.
- 9 -
SYSTEM CONTROLS (continued)
(8) CHECK VALVE Every ROLAIR air compressor is built with a check valve to seal off and maintain tank pressure after the top end pressure setting
of pilot valve or pressure switch is reached. The check valve works in conjunction with the pressure switch relief valve to provide a loadless start
for the compressor system. A quick burst of air escaping from the pressure switch relief valve after an electric unit reaches top end indicates the
check valve is working properly. If the compressor has a mysterious leak after stopping that cannot be traced elsewhere, the check valve may
require servicing/replacing.
(9) VIBRATION DAMPENER(S) The rubber pads installed beneath every portable ROLAIR tank assembly are very important to the proper operation
of the air compressor. They provide protection from vibration that left unchecked could cause damage to many system components.
(10) QUICK DISCONNECT A universal or 3-way quick disconnect is installed on your air compressor . Simply push a 1/4” male plug into coupler to
snap hose fitting into coupler. Always relieve pressure from coupler before installing or removing hose. See instructions for regulator (#4 above).
Pull back on collar to remove air hose after pressure is relieved
(11) BREATHER/SIGHT GAUGE All reciprocating air compressor pumps are built with a crankcase vent to relieve the pressure that is created by the
downward movement of the piston in the pump cylinder. Our direct-drive air compressors vent the crankcase pressure through special ports in the
dipstick. Never operate the air compressor without the dipstick or oil-fill plug. Always maintain the oil level to read 2/3 full on the sight gauge.
(12) PRESSURE SWITCH RELIEF VALVE Most electric air compressors set up to operate start/stop are equipped with a pressure switch relief valve.
This valve works in conjunction with the tank check valve to bleed off the compressed air trapped between the pump and check valve after each
cycle, allowing for easier restarts. A brief, audible hiss of air at the end of each cycle signifies the valve is working properly. A continuous leak at the
relief valve at the end of a cycle would indicate a problem with the check valve. An improperly functioning relief valve/check valve could lead to
premature gasket and/or motor failures.
PRE-START CHECKLIST
Read the owner’s manual thoroughly. Make sure that you completely understand all of the safety warnings, system
controls and instructions provided before attempting to operate this air compressor. Every effort has been made to provide you
with the information needed to obtain many years of reliable and trouble-free service out of your new air compressor. It is your
responsibility to operate the air compressor properly. To obtain the longest possible service life from your air compressor you must
always keep the following instructions in mind.
1. ALWAYS OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR IN A LEVEL POSITION
All splash-lubricated pumps have a dipper on the bottom of the connecting rod that must remain submerged in the oil bath.
Operation at more than a 10 degree angle will cause the pump to seize and void the product warranty
2. OPERATE IN A CLEAN, DRY AND WELL VENTILATED AREA
Do not operate in the rain or in areas of standing water. Never operate in an area where other gases, fumes or vapors are
present which may become explosive when compressed. Do not operate compressor in an enclosed area.
3. CHECK OIL LEVEL DAILY AND CHANGE AT REGULAR INTERVALS
Refer to the maintenance section of this owner’s manual for the correct type/weight of oil to use and how often the oil should
be changed. Check oil levels daily.
4. INSPECT/CLEAN/CHANGE INTAKE ELEMENTS ON A REGULAR BASIS
The ingestion of dirt into the pump and engine is the primary cause of premature wear. Pay special attention to the intake
filters. Check intake filters daily.
5. USE LONGER, PROPERLY SIZED AIR HOSE RATHER THAN EXTENSION CORDS
If an extension cord must be used, please refer to the chart below for the proper gauge and maximum length that can be used.
The use of inadequately sized air hose will also lead to frictional pressure drops that could affect the proper performance of
your air tools.

PRE-START CHECKLIST (continued)
6. DO NOT USE A GENERATOR AS THE POWER SOURCE
Air compressors use inductive motors that require 3-5 times the full-load amp draw to properly start. Most generators will not
provide the wattage needed to properly start this type of electric motor.
7. 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.
8. MAINTAIN RUBBER VIBRATION PADS
Excessive vibration is a major cause of premature compressor failure. Always maintain the rubber vibration pads located
beneath tank assembly. Operation without them will void your warranty.
9. DRAIN MOISTURE FROM AIR TANKS DAILY
Water is a natural byproduct of compressed air. Drain air tank(s) after each use to combat internal tank corrosion. Keep drain
valve(s) closed if storing compressor for any length of time.
SPECIFICATIONS
OPERATION
WARNING – Your safety and the wellbeing of others during the operation of every ROLAIR compressor is our main concern. Do
not operate or permit anyone else to operate your air compressor until the information contained in this manual is read and
completely understood. Please contact your distributor or our customer service department if you have any questions on the proper
use of your air compressor.
WET CONDITIONS: Do not operate your compressor in damp or wet conditions, or after it has been exposed to rain/sleet/ice/snow
or moisture of any kind. Failure to follow this warning could lead to electric shock and/or rust and ice forming on critical
components, making the compressor dangerous to operate. Always operate and/or store compressor in a clean, dry location with
good ventilation.
DIRECT-DRIVE ELECTRIC
Establish that the air compressor is ready to operate by reviewing the topics and information provided in the “Pre-Start
Checklist” section of this manual. Slowly open tank drain to remove any condensate that has accumulated and keep drain open for
a few seconds after starting to warm up motor/pump assembly. Make sure the pressure switch lever is in the “Off” position before
plugging power cord into a properly grounded outlet. Move pressure switch lever to the “On/Auto” position to build and
automatically maintain top end tank pressure setting. Rotate regulator adjustment knob counterclockwise until the gauge attached
reads 0 PSI before attaching air hose and accessory. Set working pressure by rotating regulator adjustment knob clockwise and lock
in working pressure according to specifications provided by the tool manufacturer. Always use the pressure switch “On(Auto)/Off”
lever to start or stop the air compressor. Never stop the compressor by unplugging it from the power source. Store compressor in a
warm/dry location and perform maintenance as indicated in manual.

OPERATION (continued)
DUTY CYCLE:
Several ROLAIR direct-drive machines, Models FC1500HBP2, FC1500HS3 and JC10, are rated for 70% duty cycle. If
subjected to continuous operation the internal overload will shut down the motor and only restart when sufficient cooling has
occurred.
FREEZING TEMPERATURES:
Proper fluid maintenance and warm up procedures are mandatory before attempting to start or operate an air compressor in
freezing temperatures. Water, a natural byproduct of compressed air, could turn into ice and potentially block air flow into,
though, and/or out of the pump, air tank(s), and air line(s). Drain air tanks/ lines after every use and leave drain valves open when
not in use.
If all, or part, of the compressor may be frozen, you must completely thaw the compressor before attempting to start. Gradually
increase the temperature above freezing and then drain moisture from the air tanks, intercoolers, and water traps.
Cold Weather Best Practices:
• Do not attempt to start a frozen compressor. Thaw completely first.
• Store your air compressor in a clean, dry area that stays consistently above freezing temperatures.
• Change the oil in the pump and engine to winter grade (check owner’s manual).
• Prior to starting, open the tank drain(s) and allow the compressor to run for 45-60 seconds with the tank drain(s) open
before closing to build tank pressure.
• Using a lubricator with de-icing fluid may also be needed to keep your air lines from freezing up/blocked by ice.
• Contact your ROLAIR dealer or our factory customer service department if you have additional questions.
HIGH-ALTITUDE OPERATION:
Due to a decrease in atmospheric pressure air compressor pumps produce less CFM at higher elevations. As a rule of
thumb the output will decrease approximately three percent per 1000 feet of elevation. Also, because air at higher elevations is
less dense and does not cool as well, electric motors cannot be subjected to the full nameplate service factor amp rating and may
need to be upgraded to avoid repeated overheating.
Direct drive or hand-carry compressors built with cold-start valves may need to be modified when operated in higher
elevations. Contact our factory Customer Service Department if your normally reliable air compressor fails to operate correctly at
higher elevations.
MAINTENANCE
Your new air compressor represents the finest engineering and construction available. Even the best machinery requires
periodic maintenance. Please stick to the maintenance schedule and consider the suggestions that follow to keep your compressor
in peak condition.
NOTE: Always unplug or shut down your compressor and drain the air tanks completely before attempting any type of
maintenance. Wait for compressor to cool before servicing.
IMPORTANT: Replace the oil after the first 50 hours of operation.
MAINTENANCE HINTS: 1) Use a soap/water solution to check for air leaks.
2) Never clean filters with a flammable solvent.
3) Retorque head bolts only after pump has cooled.
4) Never weld on air tank(s).
5) Use heat to loosen Loctite seal on drain valves, engine
pulleys, and flywheels before attempting to remove.
LUBRICATION
Prior to each use, make a habit of checking the pump oil level. Most direct-drive
air compressors have a dipstick with casting marks that indicate the minimum and maximum
acceptable levels of oil. Our belt-driven pumps have a sight gauge, located on the outside of
the crankcase, to make the task even easier. Always maintain the oil level at the maximum
mark on the dipstick or to 2/3 full in the sight gauge
Do not operate the pump with an inadequate or excessive amount of oil. The cost
of failures which occur due to incorrect oil levels will not be covered under warranty.
DO NOT USE A DETERGENT OIL!
NOTE: Unit must be level when in operation
