To help recognize this information, observe the following symbols.
SAFETY INFORMATION GENERAL SAFETY (Continued) 6. Do not stand on or use the unit as a handhold. 7. Before each use, inspect compressed air system and electrical components for signs of damage, deterioration, weakness or leakage. Repair or replace defective items before using. 8. Check all fasteners at frequent intervals for proper tightness. 9. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that will get caught in the moving parts of the unit. 10.
SAFETY INFORMATION GENERAL SAFETY (Continued) WARNING WARNING Risk of Personal Injury. Never operate compressor without a beltguard. This unit can start automatically without warning. Personal injury or property damage could occur from contact with moving parts. Risk of Explosion. An ASME code safety relief valve with a setting no higher than the maximum allowable working pressure (MAWP) MUST be installed in the tank for this compressor.
PACKAGE CONTENTS E J K C D H A G I B F PART DESCRIPTION A Pressure Switch - AUTO/OFF Switch - In the AUTO position, the compressor shuts off automatically when tank pressure reaches the maximum preset pressure. After air is used from the tank and drops to a preset low level, the pressure switch automatically turns the motor back on. In the OFF position, the compressor will not operate. This switch should be in the OFF position when connecting or disconnecting the power from the unit.
PACKAGE CONTENTS PART DESCRIPTION D Check valve - One-way valve that allows air to enter the tank, but prevents air in the tank from flowing back into the compressor pump. E Belt Guard - Covers the belt, motor pulley and flywheel. F Tank Drain Valve - This valve is located on the bottom of the tank. Use this valve to drain moisture from the tank daily to reduce the risk of corrosion. G Tank Pressure Gauge - Indicates amount of air pressure stored in tank.
PREPARATION Estimated Installation and Assembly Time: 20 minutes Tools Required for Installation and Assembly (not included): Safety Glasses; Work Gloves; 9/16 in. Socket and Ratchet; Adjustable Wrench ADDITIONAL PARTS REQUIRED FOR USE [not included]: 1. Air Hose 2. Pipe Thread Sealant ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 1. Unbolt the unit from the shipping skid. Use a ratchet with a 9/16 in. socket. Remove the unit from the skid. Discard shipping hardware once removed.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 3. Install air filter.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS LUBRICATION 1 CAUTION Oil Fill Area Inspect Before Use. Check for proper oil level before operating! See Figure 1 for location of oil sight glass and fill port. Check oil sight glass for oil level as shown in Figure 2. If oil needs to be added, fill with compressor oil until oil level is to the middle of the red dot.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS ELECTRICAL INFORMATION DANGER WARNING Risk of Shock. Improperly grounded motors are shock hazards. Make sure all the equipment is properly grounded. Risk of Personal Injury or Damage to Personal Property. Overheating, short circuiting and fire damage will result from inadequate wiring. WARNING WARNING Risk of Explosion. Disconnect, tag and lock out power source, then release all pressure from the system before attempting to install, service, relocate or perform any maintenance.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS GROUNDING This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Do not use grounding adapter.
ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS 3 120V Configuration 240V Configuration [Brown] [Orange] [Orange] Black Cord Lead [White] [Yellow] Black Cord Lead [White] [Yellow] [Black] [Black] [Purple] [Purple] White Cord Lead White Cord Lead [Brown] Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that accepts the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is not damaged.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS START-UP / BREAK-IN PROCEDURE WARNING WARNING Risk of Personal Injury. Do not attach air tools to open end of the hose until start-up is completed and the unit checks okay. Risk of Personal Injury. Never disconnect threaded joints with pressure in tank! 1. Check oil level per the Lubrication Section of this manual. 2. Open the bottom tank drain valve (see Figure 1). Turn outlet valve to open air flow. 3. Plug unit in. 4.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS ON/OFF CYCLING OF COMPRESSOR NOTICE WARNING Unit care and maintenance. Drain liquid from tank daily. Risk of Bursting. Drain tank every day to prevent corrosion and possible injury due to tank damage. Do not operate drain with more than 40 psi in tank or drain valve may be damaged. Drain tank of moisture daily using the drain valve in the bottom of the tank. In the AUTO position, the compressor pumps air into the tank.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE 1. Disconnect power cord plug from power source receptacle. Clean debris from motor, flywheel, tank, air lines and pump cooling fins. 2. Maintain proper oil level. Refer to Lubrication section for details. 3. Change oil. a. Allow compressor to run and warm up oil. Disconnect power cord plug from power source receptacle. b. Position a pan under pump. c. Remove oil drain plug (See Figure 1). Allow oil to collect in pan. d. Replace drain plug, fill pump to full level (See Figure 1).
CARE AND MAINTENANCE 6. Check the safety valve by performing the following steps: a. Restore power to unit; turn pressure switch to the AUTO position. Run until unit reaches 90 psi. Turn pressure switch to OFF position. b. Wearing safety glasses and hearing protection, pull the ring on the safety valve to release pressure from compressor tank. Protect yourself from fast-moving air being released; do not allow fast-moving air to be directed toward your face (See Figure 3). c.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM Low discharge pressure. (Continued) POSSIBLE CAUSE 4. Blown gaskets. 5. Leaking or damaged valves. CORRECTIVE ACTION 4. Replace any gaskets proven faulty on inspection. 5. Remove head and inspect for valve breakage, misaligned valves, damaged valve seats, etc. Replace defective parts and reassemble. CAUTION Unit care and maintenance. Install a new head gasket each time the head is removed. Excessive noise. (knocking) 1. Loose motor pulley or flywheel. 1.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM Large quantity of oil in the discharge air NOTE: In an oil-lubed compressor there will always be a small amount of oil in the air stream. Water in discharge air / tank. Motor hums and runs slowly or not at all. POSSIBLE CAUSE 1. Worn piston rings. CORRECTIVE ACTION 1. Replace with new rings. Maintain oil level and change oil more frequently. 2. Clean or replace filter. Check for other restrictions in the intake system. 3. Drain down to full level. 4.
TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE CORRECTIVE ACTION Reset 5. Pressure switch shut-off pressure 5. Replace pressure switch. mechanism set too high. cuts out 6. Low voltage. 6. Check incoming voltage. It should be repeatedly approximately 120 volts. Low voltage could be or circuit due to wires (from breaker/fuse to outlet) being breaker trips too small in diameter and / or too long. Have a repeatedly. qualified electrician check these conditions and (Continued) make repairs as needed. 7.
