MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting face mask or respirator when using such tools. When using air tools, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of of personal injury. A08184 Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.

The low pressure at which the motor automatically restarts is called "cut-in" pressure. Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before the motor automatically shuts off - protecting your air tank from pressure higher than its capacity.
The unit must be lifted, or pushed up a ramp. Assemble Rubber Feet Attach rubber feet with the screws provided as shown in previous figure. Tighten securely. Wheel 9- ENG Rubber Feet Screw Shoulder Bolt A08184...
HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT Location of the Air Compressor Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area. The air compressor should be located at least 12" away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air. The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling.
If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the compressor repeatedly causes interruption of the power, it may be necessary to operate it from a 20 amp circuit. It is not necessary to change the cord set. 11- ENG A08184...
Safety Valve: If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its "cut-out" pressure setting, the safety valve will protect against high pressure by "popping out" at its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch "cut-out" setting).
Serious damage may result if the following break-in instructions are not closely followed. This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into service and when the check valve or a complete compressor pump has been replaced. Make sure the On/Auto/Off lever is in the "OFF" position.
Turn regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure and stop when desired pressure is reached. The compressor is ready for use. NOTE: Always operate the air compressor in well-ventilated areas free of gasoline or other combustible vapors. If the compressor is being used to operate a sprayer DO NOT place near the spray area.
To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air compressor outfit, a routine maintenance schedule should be prepared and followed. The following routine maintenance schedule is geared to an outfit in a normal working environment operating on a daily basis. If necessary, the schedule should be modified to suit the conditions under which your compressor is used.
Push in the new air filter. Air Compressor Pump Intake and Exhaust Valves Once a year have a Trained Service Technician check the air compressor pump intake and exhaust valves. SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS Unit cycles automatically when power is on.
NOTE: Arrow indicates flow of air. Make sure it is pointing in the direction of air flow. Reapply pipe sealant to outlet pressure gauge and quick connect. Reassemble outlet pressure gauge and quick connect. Orient outlet pressure gauge to read correctly. Tighten quick connect with wrench. 17- ENG A08184...

Before you store the air compressor, make sure you do the following: Review the "Maintenance" section on the preceding pages and perform scheduled maintenance as necessary. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF". Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the outlet pressure to zero.
Performing repairs may expose voltage sources, moving parts or compressed air sources, moving parts or compressed air sources. Personal injury may occur. Prior to attempting any repairs, unplug the air compressor and bleed off all air tank air pressure. PROBLEM...
