UNIVERSAL QUICK CONNECT BODY
The universal quick connect body (E) accepts the three most
popular styles of quick connect plugs: Industrial, automotive, and
ARO. One hand push-to-connect operation makes connections
simple and easy.
DRAIN VALVE
The drain valve (H) is located at the base of the air
tank and is used to drain condensation at the end
of each use. See Draining Air Tank under
Maintenance.
COOLING SYSTEM
This compressor contains an advanced design cooling system.
It is normal for this fan to blow air through the vent holes in large
amounts. The cooling system is working when air is expelled.
AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP
The pump compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not
available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure
above that required at the air outlet.
AIR INTAKE FILTER
The filter (J) is designed to clean air entering the pump. To ensure
the pump continually receives a clean, cool, and dry air supply the
filter must always be clean and the filter intake must be free from
obstructions.
MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
The motor has a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats
for any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The
motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting. To restart:
1. Set the Auto/Off lever to OFF and unplug unit.
2. Allow the motor to cool.
3. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
4. Set the Auto/Off lever to AUTO position.

Grounding instructions
_WARNING: Risk of Electrical Shock. In the event of a short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an escape
wire for the electric current. This air compressor must be properly
grounded.
The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug.
1. The cord set and plug (M) with this unit
contains a grounding pin (L). This plug
MUST be used with a grounded
outlet (K).
IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must
be installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances.
