Your air compressor is powered by electricity and may cause electric shock or electrocution if not used properly. Make sure the air compressor is plugged into a properly grounded outlet which provides correct voltage and adequate fuse protection.
SAFETY WARNINGS READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS BEFORE USING AIR COMPRESSOR HAZARD POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCE PREVENTION RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE Serious injury or death may occur from normal electrical sparks in motor and pressure switch. Always operate air compressor in a well ventilated area free of flammable vapors, combustible dust, gases or other combustible materials. If spraying flammable material, locate the air compressor at least 20 feet away from the spray area. (An additional hose may be required.
SAFETY WARNINGS READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS BEFORE USING AIR COMPRESSOR HAZARD POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCE RISK TO BREATHING 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.
SAFETY WARNINGS READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS BEFORE USING AIR COMPRESSOR HAZARD POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCE PREVENTION RISK FROM MOVING PARTS Risk of bodily injury from moving parts. This air compressor cycles automatically when the pressure switch is in the “On/Auto” position. Always turn off air compressor when not in use. Bleed pressure from the air hose and unplug from electrical outlet before performing maintenance. All repairs to the air compressor should be made by an Authorized Service person.

COMPRESSOR FEATURES 1) MOTOR/PRESSURE SWITCH: This switch is used to start or stop the air compressor. Moving the switch to the ìAutoî (On) position will provide automatic power to the pressure switch which will allow the motor to start when the air tank pressure is below the factory set ìcut-inî pressure. When in the Start/ Stop Option, the pressure switch stops the motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factor set ìcut outî pressure.
PREPARATION INITIAL SET-UP: 1. Read safety warnings before setting-up air compressor. LOCATION: CAUTION In order to avoid damaging the air compressor, do not incline the air compressor transversely or longitudinally more than 10°. 1. Place air compressor at least 12 inches away from obstacles that may prevent proper ventilation. Do not place air compressor in an area: -where there is evidence of oil or gas leaks. -where flammable gas vapors or materials may be present.
OPERATION PRE-START CHECKLIST: 1. Remove any moisture in the air compressor air tank. Remove excessive pressure with an air tool, then open the air tank drain valve in the bottom of the air tank. Close tightly when drained. WARNING: Risk of bodily injury. NEVER attempt to open the drain valve when more than 10 PSI of air pressure is in the air tank! 2. Make sure the air compressor Motor Switch is in the “OFF” position. 3. Make sure all safety valves are working correctly. 4.
TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom 1. Motor will not run or restart. Power cord not plugged in. Plug cord into grounded outlet. Motor/Pressure switch in “OFF” position. Move switch to “ON” position. Motor thermal overload switch has tripped. Turn air compressor off, wait until motor is cool, then check motor circuit breaker. Fuse blown or circuit breaker has tripped. Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker. Check for proper fuse amperage. Check for low voltage conditions.
TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom 4. Air continues to leak at motor/pressure switch release valve while motor is running. PROBABLE CAUSE Defective motor/pressure switch. REMEDY Replace. Symptom 5. Air leaks from safety relief valve. PROBABLE CAUSE Possible defective safety relief valve. REMEDY Operate safety relief valve manually by pulling on ring. If it still leaks, it should be replaced. Excessive air tank pressure. Defective motor/pressure switch. Replace. Symptom 6. Air leaks at fittings.
TROUBLESHOOTING Symptom 10. Air compressor not making enough air. PROBABLE CAUSE Restricted air intake filter. REMEDY Clean. Defective (reed) valve. Drain air tank and measure pump up time. Compare to specifications. If lower, remove pump head and inspect valve plate, clean or replace. Symptom 11. Moisture in discharge air. PROBABLE CAUSE Condensation in air tank caused by high level of atmospheric humidity or air compressor is not run long enough. 14 REMEDY Drain air tank after every use.
