INTRODUCTION Congratulations on the purchase of your new Mi-T-M® Air Compressor! You can be assured your Mi-T-M® Air Compressor was constructed with the highest level of precision and accuracy. Each component has been rigorously tested by technicians to ensure the quality, endurance and performance of this air compressor. This operator's manual was compiled for your benefit.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS BEFORE USING AIR COMPRESSOR Hazard RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK OR ELECTROCUTION Potential Consequence Serious injury or death could occur if the air compressor is not properly grounded. Your air compressor is powered by electricity and may cause electric shock or electrocution if not used properly. Prevention Installation of this unit, including all electrical connections, must comply with all local, state and national codes.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Hazard Potential Consequence RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE Serious injury or death may occur from normal electrical sparks in motor and pressure switch Prevention Always operate air compressor in a well ventilated area free of flammable vapors, combustible dust, gases or other combustible materials. DO NOT SMOKE if spraying flammable material. Locate the air compressor at least 20 feet away from the spray area. (An additional hose may be required.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Hazard RISK TO BREATHING Potential Consequence Prevention Serious injury or death could occur from inhaling compressed air. The air stream may contain carbon monoxide, toxic vapors or solid particles. Never inhale air from the air compressor either directly or from a breathing device connected to the air compressor. Sprayed materials such as paint, paint solvents, paint remover, insecticides, weed killers, etc. contain harmful vapors and poisons.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Hazard Potential Consequence RISK FROM MOVING PARTS Risk of bodily injury from moving parts. This air compressor cycles (Starts/Stops) automatically when the pressure switch is in the "On/Auto" position. Prevention Before performing maintenance, always turn off air compressor. Bleed pressure from the air hose and disconnect from the electrical source. All repairs to the air compressor should be made by an Authorized Service person.

exploded view & explanation of air compressor features AIR TANK DRAIN VALVE: The drain valve is used to remove moisture from the air tank(s) after the air compressor is shut off. NEVER attempt to open the drain valve when more than 10 PSI of air pressure is in the air tank! To open the drain valve, turn the knob counterclockwise. OIL SIGHT GLASS: The Oil Sight Glass displays the oil level in the pump. The oil level should be at the center of the Oil Sight Glass. If low, add SAE 30W non-detergent oil.
warning THE FOLLOWING PAGES CONTAIN OPERATING AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS. do not attempt to operate this AIR COMPRESSOR until you have read and understood all safety precautions and instructions listed in this manual.
preparation INSTRUCTIONS INITIAL SET-UP: 1. Read safety warnings before setting-up air compressor. 2. Ensure the oil level in the air compressor pump is adequate. If low, add SAE-30W non-detergent oil. WARNING RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE CAUSING SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH! Do not allow the motor or Motor/Pressure Switch to come in contact with flammable vapors, combustible dust, gases or other combustible materials. An electric spark may cause an explosion or fire.
preparation INSTRUCTIONS Electrical 1. A qualified electrician MUST hook up the electrical system. a. Verify the electrical supply at the power source is off. b. Be certain all switches on the Control Panel and Pressure Switch are in the "OFF" position. c. Make connections to the terminal as shown below. DANGER RISK OF ELECTROCUTION! Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of shock or electrocution.
preparation INSTRUCTIONS c. Stop compressor to add and gauge oil. d. Do not fill above the upper line and do not operate compressor with oil level belwo the lower line. e. Change oil at the first 100 hours of operation and 1000 hours thereafter, or as required. It may be necessary to change oil more frequent due to abnormal humid and contaminated conditions. 2. Checking Belt Tension.
operating INSTRUCTIONS START-UP: 1. Read safety warnings before performing operation. 2. Move the Motor/Pressure Switch to the "AUTO" position. 3. If you notice any unusual noise or vibration, stop the air compressor and refer to "Troubleshooting". SHUTDOWN: 1. To stop the air compressor, a.) Move the Motor/Pressure Switch to the "OFF" position or b.) Rotate the Cam Switch to the center "OFF" position. 2.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS Read the instruction manual before performing maintenance. The following procedures must be performed when stopping the air compressor for maintenance or service. 1. Turn off air compressor. 2. Open all drains after the tank gauge registers under 10 PSI. 3. Wait for the air compressor to cool before starting service. WARNING RISK OF BODILY INJURY! Never assume the air compressor is safe to work on just because it is not operating. It could restart at any time! AC Ele.
TROUBLESHOOTING SYMPTOM PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY Air compressor will not start. Motor/Pressure Switch turned "OFF". Motor Thermal Overload tripped on air compressor. Move Motor/Pressure Switch to "AUTO" position. Turn unit off, wait 5 minutes, then press Motor Thermal Overload until click is heard. Circuit breaker tripped or fuse blown at power source. Reset circuit breaker or replace fuse if necessary, using only "Fusetron" type T fuses. Check for low voltage conditions.
TROUBLESHOOTING SYMPTOM PROBABLE CAUSE REMEDY Noisy operation. Loose motor pulley or pump flywheel. Lack of oil in the pump. Tighten pulley and or flywheel. Carbon deposits on pistons or valves. Remove cylinder head and inspect. Clean or replace valve plate. Bearing, piston or connecting rod failure. STOP THE AIR COMPRESSOR! Contact Mi-T-M® Customer Service. Air leaks at connections. Allow the air compressor to build pressure to the maximum allowed.
