Operating Instructions
Preparation (Cont.)
2. If repair or replacement of cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect
grounding wire to either flat blade
terminal. The grounding wire has
insulation and an outer surface that
is green with or without yellow
stripes.
3. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman to ensure product is
properly grounded. Do not modify
plug provided; if plug will not fit
outlet, have proper outlet installed
by a qualified electrician.
Never connect

!
green (or green and
yellow) wire to a live terminal.

EXTENSION CORDS

Avoid using an extension cord. To extend
the reach of the compressor, additional
air hose is recommended.
1. Use only a 3-wire extension cord
that has a 3-blade grounding plug,
and a 3-slot receptacle that will
accept plug on product.
2. Make sure extension cord is in good
condition, and heavy enough to carry
current product will draw. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in
line voltage resulting in loss of power
and overheating.
3. The chart on page 3 shows correct
size to use depending on cord length
and nameplate ampere rating. If in
doubt, use next heavier gauge.
NOTE: The smaller the gauge number,
the heavier the cord.

Operation

FOR TROUBLE-FREE OPERATION
1. Keep compressor level during
operation and while checking oil
level.
2. Check oil level before each use. Add
oil to full line on the dipstick.
Operation with low oil will damage
pump and may cause difficulty in
starting.
3. Read instructions: Carefully read
through this owner's manual BEFORE
OPERATING the new air compressor.
www.chpower.com
It contains information
about operation and
maintenance of unit.
4. Drain tank daily: Open
drain cocks and tilt unit
to drain moisture from tanks (See
Figure 12). Be sure to close drain cocks
tightly before operating compressor.
This helps prevent tank corrosion and
keeps oil and moisture out of
compressed air.
5. Check air filter: Never run compressor
without an air filter nor with a
clogged air filter. See maintenance
section for cleaning and replacement
instructions.
BREAK-IN
Break-in: Allow new compressor to run
for at least 30 minutes without
compressing air, to properly seat working
parts.
Do not attach air

5. Turn regulator knob clockwise to
cause air to bleed off. Compressor will
restart at present pressure.
6. Turn regulator knob counterclockwise
to shut off air and turn switch to OFF
position.
7. Attach air chuck or other tool to open
end of hose. Turn regulator fully ON.
Apply a soap and water solution
around hose fittings and check for
signs of leaks (bubbles forming). If
there is a leak, tighten connections
and check again. When there are no
leaks, compressor is ready for
operation.

2. This valve should be checked
occasionally by pulling the ring by
hand. Air may leak even after ring
has been released. However, if the
leaking continues for an extended
period of time, or if the safety valve is
stuck and cannot be activated by the
ring, the safety valve MUST be
replaced. (Note: Valve will reset when
tank pressure reaches 40-50 PSI.)
