SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Please familiarize yourself with the following information to prevent damage to your compressor unit and injury to the operator. The air compressor motor and/or engine will get hot while in operation. Never touch the discharge tubing, engine, motor or compressor pump while in operation. The compressor operates automatically while the power is connected and turned on, or the engine is running. CAUTION WARNING Compressed air from the unit may contain hazardous fumes.
WARNING Never weld, drill or change the air receiver in any way. Any replacement parts should be purchased with the same specifications as the original equipment. Please contact the authorized dealer for replacement parts or specifications. SAFETY VALVE This valve is factory installed to prevent over pressurizing of the air receiver. It is factory set at a specific limit for your particular model, and should never be tampered with. Adjustment by user will automatically void the warranty.
3. BEFORE OPERATING THE AIR COMPRESSOR, PLEASE CHECK THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY: 1. Check to see that nuts and bolts are all snug. 2. Check if the quantity and quality of oil is correct. 3. If the intake filters are dirty, they should be replaced or cleaned. 4. COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION WARNING ALWAYS CHECK THE OIL LEVEL AND QUALITY BEFORE START–UP. DO NOT ADD OR CHANGE OIL WHILE THE UNIT IS RUNNING. USE ONLY RECOMMENDED NON-DETERGENT OIL.
5. FILLING COMPRESSOR WITH OIL 1. Remove the oil filler plug 2. Slowly pour the proper oil into the pump crankcase. 3. Always keep oil level in the middle of the sight glass. 6. ENGINE LUBRICATION (IF ENGINE DRIVEN) Check engine Owner's manual for lubrication and maintenance requirements. 7. OIL CHANGES INITIAL OIL CHANGE DUE AT 100 HOURS CHANGE OIL EVERY 300 HOURS OR 3 MONTHS, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST. 1. Remove the oil drain plug. Allow oil to drain completely. 2. Replace the oil drain plug. 3.
HOW TO INSTALL NEW BELT IF REQUIRED (If belt driven) 1. Disconnect power supply. 2. Remove belt guard. 3. Loosen motor bolts and slide motor toward compressor head just enough to allow old belt to be removed. 4. Install proper replacement belt. 5. Slide motor away from compressor head to provide recommended tension as shown in diagram on page 5. 6. Align belt using a straight edge ruler against pulley’s edge. 7. Fasten motor bolts. 8. Ensure motor and compressor pulley’s are secure. Re-check alignment.
B) ELECTRIC DRIVE WITH DUAL CONTROL 1) Check unit for any damage. 2) Check compressor oil level, fill or add if necessary. 3) Pressure switch "Off/Auto" knob should be in "Off" position. 4) Plug in power cord to proper electrical outlet. 5 a) Stop/Start (pressure switch) control 1. Shut-off valve on pilot unloader should be closed ("knurled" knob on top of the pilot unloader should be turned all the way down). 2. Turn pressure switch "Off/Auto" switch to "Auto".
5) Stop/Start (pressure switch) control Turn pressure switch "Off/Auto" switch to "Auto". Electric motor should now start and fill air receiver(s) with compressed air until cutout pressure is reached. Compressor should stop and remain stopped until air receiver pressure reaches the cut-in pressure. The unit will continue to cycle in this automatic operation until the pressure switch is turned to the "Off" position.
