The basic components of the air compressor are the electric motor, pump, pressure switch, and tank. (Figure 1) The electric motor (A) powers the pump. The electric motor is equipped with an overload protector and an automatic reset.

Page 11: Assembling The Compressor
ASSEMBLY ASSEMBLING THE COMPRESSOR (Figure 2) 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. Check the compressor’s serial label to ensure that you have received the model ordered, and that it has the required pressure rating for its intended use. -
Page 12: Electrical Power Requirements
ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS ELECTRICAL WIRING Refer to the air compressor’s serial label for the unit’s voltage and amperage requirements. ExTENSION CORDS NOTE: Avoid use of extension cords. For optimum performance, plug the compressor power cord directly into a grounded wall socket. Do not use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary. Instead, use a longer air hose to reach the area where the air is needed. -
Page 13: Compressor Controls
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS COMPRESSOR CONTROLS (Figure 4) Pressure Switch (A): This switch turns on the compressor. It is operated manually, but when in the AUTO 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. Pressure Relief Valve (B): If the pressure switch does not shut down the motor when pressure reaches the preset level, this valve will pop open automatically to prevent over pressurization. -
Page 14: Daily Startup
DAILY STARTUP (Figure 5) Turn the pressure switch to the OFF position (A). Close the tank drain valve (B). Plug in the power cord (C). High temperatures are generated by the electric motor and the pump. To prevent burns or other injuries, DO NOT touch the compressor while it is running. -
Page 15: Maintenance
MAINTENANCE 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. -
Page 16: Troubleshooting
TROUBLESHOOTING Risk of Unsafe Operation. Unit cycles automatically when power is on. When servicing, you may be exposed to voltage sources, com- pressed air, or moving parts. Before servicing unit unplug or disconnect elec- trical supply to the air compressor, bleed tank of pressure, and allow the air compressor to cool. - Page 17 PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION Motor will Tank pressure exceeds Motor will start automatically when not run preset pressure switch tank pressure drops below cut- in limit pressure of pressure tank.
