SAFETY WARNINGS READ ALL SAFETY WARNINGS BEFORE USING AIR COMPRESSOR! WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK OF EXPLOSION OR FIRE OR BURSTING Serious injury or death may occur from normal electrical sparks in motor and pressure switch. Serious injury may occur if any air compressor ventilation openings are restricted, causing air compressor to overheat and possibly ignite a fire. Serious injury or death may occur from an air tank explosion if air tanks are not properly maintained.
WARNING: TO REDUCE THE RISK TO BREATHING, OF BURNS AND FLYING OBJECTS Serious injury or death could occur from inhaling compressed air. The air stream may contain carbon monoxide, toxic vapors or solid particles. Sprayed materials such as paint, paint solvents, paint remover, insecticides, weed killers, etc., contain harmful vapors and poisons. Serious injury could occur from touching exposed metal parts. These areas can remain hot for some time even after the air compressor is shutdown.
Do not use the compressor without installed guards. Please note that the compressor will start automatically, when the pressure falls to the minimum designated pressure. Make sure the compressor is switched off and disconnected from the power supply before starting it. Check the compressor and the accessories carefully and follow their instructions for maintenance. Check the compressor for possible damages before any use.

TROUBLE SHOOTING Problem Excessive tank pressure - safety valve pops off. Air leaks at fittings. Cause • Pressure switch does not shut off motor when compressor reaches “cut-out” pressure. • Pressure switch “cut-out” too high. • Tube fittings are not tight enough. Solution • Switch the compressor “OFF” If the unit doesn’t shut off, unplug compressor. • Contact an authorized qualified service center. • • Air leaks at or inside check valve. • Malfunctioning or dirty check valve.
Air leaks in air tank or at air tank welds. • Damaged air tank. • • DO NOT DRILL INTO, WELD OR OTHERWISE MODIFY AIR TANK OR IT WILL WEAKEN. THE TANK CAN RUPTURE OR EXPLODE. TANK MUST BE REPLACED. Contact an authorized qualified service center. Air leaks between head and valve plate. • Leaking ring. • Torque head screws to 8 ft. lbs. If this does not stop leak, replace ring. Motor will not run or restart. • Tank pressure exceeds pressure switch “cut-in” pressure.
Air leak from safety valve. • Possible defect in safety valve. • Operate safety valve manually by pulling on ring. If valve still leaks, it should be replaced. Knocking Noise. • Malfunctioning check valve. • Remove and clean, or replace. Compressor is not supplying enough air to operate accessories. • Prolonged excessive use of air.
