OVERVIEW \ VUE D’ENSEMBLE \ RESUMEN GENERAL BASIC AIR COMPRESSOR COMPONENTS The basic components of the air compressor are the electric motor, pump, pressure switch and tank (see Fig. 1). The electric motor (see A) powers the pump. The electric motor is equipped with an overload protector to help prevent possible motor burnout. If the motor becomes overheated, the overload protector will shut it down.
ASSEMBLY / ASSEMBLAGE 1. b. ASSEMBLING THE COMPRESSOR Unpack the air compressor. Inspect the unit for damage. If the unit has been damaged in transit, contact the carrier and complete a damage claim. Do this immediately because there are time limitations to damage claims. c. The carton should contain: • air compressor • operator and parts manuals 2. 3.
MONTAJE 1. MONTAJE DEL COMPRESOR Desembale el compresor de aire. Inspeccione la unidad para verificar que no sufrió daños. Si la unidad ha sido dañada durante el transporte, comuníquese con la empresa transportadora y complete una reclamación por daños. Haga esto de inmediato porque existen limitaciones de tiempo respecto a las reclamaciones por daños. La caja debe contener los elementos siguientes: • compresor de aire • manual del operador y manual de piezas 2. 3.
COMPRESSOR CONTROLS / COMMANDES DU COMPRESSEUR / CONTROLES DEL COMPRESOR COMPRESSOR CONTROLS Refer to Fig. 3. PRESSURE switch (see A) This switch turns on the compressor. It is operated manually, but when in the ON position, it allows the compressor to start up or shut down automatically, without warning, upon air demand. ALWAYS set this switch to OFF when the compressor is not being used, and before unplugging the compressor.
ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS SPÉCIFICATIONS DE L'ALIMENTATION ÉLECTRIQUE REQUERIMIENTOS DE ALIMENTACIÓN ELÉCTRICA ELECTRICAL WIRING Refer to the air compressor’s serial label for the unit’s voltage and amperage requirements. Use a dedicated circuit For best performance and reliable starting, the air compressor must be plugged into a dedicated circuit, as close as possible to the fusebox or circuit breaker. The compressor will use the full capacity of a typical 15 amp household circuit.
SPÉCIFICATIONS DE L'ALIMENTATION ÉLECTRIQUE __REQUERIMIENTOS DE ALIMENTACION ELECTRICA RALLONGES Continué Utilisez seulement une rallonge à 3 fils munie d'une prise de terre à 3 lames et une prise de courant à 3 fentes dans laquelle la prise peut être branchée. Veillez à ce que la rallonge que vous allez utiliser soit en bon état. Une rallonge de dimension inférieure à celle préconisée causera une baisse de tension sur la ligne qui se soldera par une perte de puissance et une surchauffe.
MOTOR RESET AND WIRING \ REMISE EN MARCHE ET CÂBLAGE DU MOTEUR \ RESTABLECIMIENTO Y CABLEADO DEL MOTOR MOTOR RESET SWITCH WARNING: Ensure that all guards and shrouds are in place before pressing the reset switch to restart the motor. If the motor shuts down because of overload, wait 10–15 minutes so the motor can cool down, then press (NEVER force) the reset switch (see A) to restart the motor (see Fig. 5). NOTE: Some models are equipped with a dual voltage motor 115/230 volt.
BREAK-IN OF THE PUMP \ RODAGE DE LA POMPE \ MARCHA DE LA BOMBA 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. BREAK-IN OF THE PUMP Check the level of oil in the pump with the sight glass. The pump oil level must be between A and B (See Fig. 6). Do not overfill or underfill. Turn the pressure switch to the OFF position (see C). Open the petcock (see F). Turn in the counterclockwise direction. Plug in the power cord. Turn the pressure switch to the ON position (see D). The compressor will start.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS \ MODE D’EMPLOI \ INSTRUCCIONES OPERATIVAS 1. 2. 3. 4. DAILY STARTUP Every day check the sight glass to ensure that the level of oil in the pump is at the required level. The pump oil level must be between A and B (see Fig. 6). Do not overfill or underfill. Turn the pressure switch to the OFF position (see C). Close the tank petcock (see E). Turn in the clockwise direction. Plug in the power cord. A = Full A = Plein A = Lleno B = Add B = Ajoutez B = Agregor Fig.
MODE D’EMPLOI \ INSTRUCCIONES OPERATIVAS ARRÊT 1. 2. 3. 4. Placer le manocontacteur en position ARRÊT (C). Débranchez le cordon d'alimentation. Réduisez la pression dans le réservoir par l'orifice de sortie du tuyau. Vous pouvez également tirer sur l'anneau de la soupape de décharge (G) et la maintenir ouverte pour libérer la pression dans le réservoir. A = Full A = Plein A = Lleno B = Add B = Ajoutez B = Agregor Fig.
MAINTENANCE \ ENTRETIEN \ MANTENIMIENTO MAINTENANCE WARNING: To avoid personal injury, always shut off and unplug the compressor and relieve all air pressure from the system before performing any service on the air compressor. Regular maintenance will ensure trouble–free operation. Your electric powered air compressor represents high–quality engineering and construction; however, even high–quality machinery requires periodic maintenance.
MAINTENANCE \ ENTRETIEN \ MANTENIMIENTO BELT TENSION AND PULLEY ALIGNMENT WARNING: To avoid personal injury, always shut off and unplug the compressor and relieve all air pressure from the system before performing any service on the air compressor. NOTE: Drive belt tensioning and pulley alignment are done at the same time. They are discussed separately for clarity. Fig. 8 ADJUSTING DRIVE BELT TENSION Proper belt tension and pulley alignment must be maintained for maximum drive efficiency and belt life.
MAINTENANCE \ ENTRETIEN \ MANTENIMIENTO PULLEY ALIGNMENT To check pulley alignment, remove the belt guard and place a straightedge (see A) against the pump flywheel (see B) (See Fig. 9). Measure and record the distance from the straightedge to the edge of the drive belt at point C. Then measure the distance from the straightedge to the edge of the drive belt again at points D and E. Both distances should be the same as at point C.
MAINTENANCE \ ENTRETIEN \ MANTENIMIENTO CLEANING THE AIR FILTER A dirty air filter will reduce the compressor’s performance and life. To avoid any internal contamination of the pump, the filter should be cleaned frequently, and replaced on a regular basis. Felt filters should be cleaned in warm, soapy water, rinsed, and allowed to air dry before reinstallation. Paper filters should be replaced when dirty. Do not allow the filter to become filled with dirt or paint.

TROUBLESHOOTING CHART Note: Troubleshooting problems may have similar causes and solutions. PROBLEM Excessive current draw trips circuit breaker of motor reset switch Compressor stalls Low discharge pressure Compressor pump knocking Oil in discharge air Overheating Excessive belt wear Compressor won’t start in cold temperatures 200-2787 POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Low voltage/motor overload Check that power supply is adequate and that compressor is on a dedicated circuit.
DÉPANNAGE Remarque : Les problémes de dépannage peuvent avoir des causes et des solutions similaires. PROBLÈME CAUSE POSSIBLE SOLUTION Le prélèvement excessif de courant cause le déclenchement du disjoncteur ou de l’interrupteur de remise en marche du moteur Tension insuffisante/surcharge du moteur Vérifiez que l’alimentation est adéquate et que le compresseur est branché sur un circuit séparé. Vérifiez que le compresseur est branché sur son propre circuit.
