IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS • SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS • IMPROPER OPERATION OR MAINTENANCE OF THIS PRODUCT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY AND PROPERTY DAMAGE. READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING THIS EQUIPMENT. HAZARD RISK OF BURSTING WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT Air Tank • TH E FO L LOWING CONDITIONS COULD lead to a weakening of the tank, and RESULT IN A VIOLE NT TANK EXPLOSION: 1.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS (cont’d) WHAT CAN HAPPEN HAZARD • The COMPRESSED AIR from your compressor IS NOT SAFE FOR BREATHING! The air stream may contain carbon monoxide or other toxic vapors, or particles from the tank or other components. • NEVER INHALE AIR FR OM T HE COMPRESSOR, either directly or from a breathing dev ice connected to the compressor. WORK IN AN AREA equipped WITH GO O D CROS SVENTILATION.
GLOSSARY SCFM or CFM: Standard Cubic Feet per Minute; a unit of measurement of air delivery. which the motor automatically re-starts is called "cut-in pressure." PSIG or PSI: Pounds per square inch gauge. CUT-IN PRESSURE: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you continue to use your accessory. When the tank pressure drops to approximately 100 PSI the motor will restart automatically.
DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION Air Compressor Pump: To compress air, the piston moves up and down in the cylinder. On the downstroke, air is drawn in through the intake valves. The exhaust valves remain closed. On the upstroke of the piston, air is compressed. The intake valves close and compressed air is forced out through the exhaust valves, through the outlet tube, through the check valve and into the air tank.
INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! IN THE EVENT OF A SHORT CIRCUIT, GROUNDING REDUCES THE RISK OF SHOCK BY PROVIDING AN ESCAPE WIRE FOR THE ELECTRIC CURRENT. THIS AIR COMPRESSOR MUST BE PROPERLY GROUNDED. The air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounded wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be used with an outlet that has been installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
OPERATING PROCEDURES 1. Before attaching air hose or accessories, make sure the OFF/AUTO lever is set to “OFF” and the air regulator or shut-off valve is closed. When you are finished: 6. Set the “OFF/AUTO” lever to “OFF”. 7. Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the outlet pressure to zero. 2. Attach hose and accessories. 8. Remove the air tool or accessory. 9. Open the regulator and allow the air to slowly bleed from the tank. Close the regulator when tank pressure is approximately 20 psi.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE PERFORMING REPAIRS MAY EXPOSE VOLTAGE SOURCES, MOVING PARTS OR COMPRESSED AIR SOURCES. PERSONAL INJURY MAY OCCUR. PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING ANY REPAIRS, UNPLUG THE COMPRESSOR AND BLEED OFF TANK AIR PRESSURE. PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION Excessive tank pressure safety valve pops off. Pressure switch does not shut off motor when compressor reaches “cutout” pressure. Move the pressure switch lever to the “OFF” position. If the outfit doesn’t shut off, unplug.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE (Continued) PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION Air leak from safety valve. Possible defect in safety valve. Operate safety valve manually by pulling on ring. If valve still leaks, it should be replaced. Knocking Noise Defective check valve. Remove and clean, or replace. Compressor is not supplying enough air to operate accessories. Prolonged excessive use of air. Decrease amount of air usage. Compressor is not large enough for air requirement. Check the accessory air requirement.
