Oper ating Instructions
9
Keep all persons away from the
discharge opening of hoses or tools
or other points of compressed air
discharge. If the machine is
installed in an enclosed area, be
sure to vent the relief valve outside
of the structure or to an unoccupied area.
11. DO NOT use air tools that are rated below the
maximum rating of the compressor. Select
air tools, air hoses, pipes, valves, filters and
other fittings accordingly. DO NOT exceed
manufacturer’s rated safe operating pressures
for these items.
12. Make sure all hose connections are adequate-
ly secured to prevent tools or hose ends from
being accidentally disconnected.
Start-Up
1. This unit is shipped with pump break-in oil
and should be ready to operate. Be sure to
check for proper oil level before operating
the compressor. Oil should be in center of
site glass. See figure 8.
Use only Airbase Industries oil
(PN: APOL03000G1). Use of any
other product will cause product damage and void
the warranty.
2. Check for proper belt tension. There should
be 1/2 inch slack. Refer to maintenance sec-
tion if adjustment is necessary.
Always make sure main power is
off before touching belts or other
moving parts of compressor.
3. Lightly push power switch to make sure sys-
tem is working.
4. If motor shaft is not turning counter clock-
wise, disconnect power to terminal block
then exchange any two of the three power
leads. Re-check rotation.
Oil level should be to
center of red circle in
site glass

Continuous Run Feature (if equipped)
For heavy use applications such as sandblasting, the
continuous run feature is available. This feature keeps
main feed line open to eliminate numerous motor
starts/stops and to help cool pump.
To engage continuous run feature, open ball valve
found by following copper tubing across cylinder heads
to tank. See figure 9.
Stop continuous run feature by closing valve so com-
pressor will start and stop according to pressure switch.
Maintenance
Safety Steps
Disconnect, tag and lock out power
source then release all pressure from
the system before attempting to
install, service, relocate or perform
ANY maintenance.
1. Make sure repairs are done in a clean, dry, well
lighted and ventilated area.
2. When cleaning, use air pressure less than 30
psig (2.1bar). NEVER use flammable solvents
for cleaning purposes. Also use effective chip
guarding and personal protective equipment
per OSHA standard 29 CFR 1910.242 (b).
3. Relieve all internal pressure prior to opening
any line, fitting, hose, valve, drain plug, con-
nection or other component, such as filters and
line oilers, and before refilling optional air line
anti-icer systems with antifreeze compound.
4. Keep electrical wiring, including all terminals
and pressure connectors in good condition. Re-
place any wiring that has cracked, cut, or oth-
erwise damaged insulation. Replace terminals
that are worn, discolored or corroded. Keep all
terminals and pressure connectors clean and
tight.
