Operation; Installation And Location - General International AC1104 Setup And Operation Manual

NOTE: DO NOT over tighten Air Regulator or Air Chuck.
INSTALLING THE AIR FILTER
The metal Air Filter is installed into the threaded port of the cylinder head.
1. Thread the Air Filter into the Cylinder Head by turning the Air Filter
clockwise.
2. Securely tighten the Air Filter in place with a wrench.
NOTE: DO NOT over tighten Air Filter.

OPERATION

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR NEW AIR COMPRESSOR
Please check the following points carefully:
1. Check that all nuts and bolts are secure.
2. Make sure oil has been properly added to compressor. (See Installing
Oil and Oil Breather Cap section.)
INITIAL START-UP PROCEDURE
1. Open the Air Tank Drain Valve to permit air to escape, preventing air
pressure buildup in the air tank.
2. Run the compressor for a minimum of 20 minutes in this "no-load"
position to lubricate the piston and bearings.
3. Close Air Tank Drain Valve. Your compressor is ready for use.
Depending on the CFM draw of the tools being operated, your new Air
Compressor can be used for operating paint sprayers, air tools, grease
guns, airbrushes, caulking guns, abrasive blasters, tire & plastic toy
inflation, spraying weed killer and insecticides, etc. Proper adjustment of
the Air Pressure Regulator is necessary for all of these operations. Refer
to the air pressure specifications provided with the tool you are using.
GENERAL OVERVIEW
To compress air, the piston moves up and down in the cylinder. On the
down stroke air is drawn in through the valve inlet. The discharge valve
remains closed. On the upstroke of the piston air is compressed. The inlet
valve closes and air is forced out through the discharge valve, through
the check valve, and into the air tank. Working air is not available until
the compressor has raised the tank pressure above that required at the
air service connection. The air inlet filter openings must be kept clear of
obstructions, which could reduce air delivery of the compressor.

INSTALLATION AND LOCATION

Locate the compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area. The
compressor should be located 12 to 18 inches from walls or any other
obstruction which would interfere with airflow. Compressor should be
located in a temperature controlled area between 32° and 95° fahrenheit.
Place the compressor on a firm, level surface. The compressor is designed
with heat dissipation fins which allow for proper cooling. Keep the fins (and
all other parts which collect dust or dirt) clean. A clean compressor runs
cooler and provides longer service. Do not place rags, containers or other
material on top of the compressor.
CONNECTING TO POWER SOURCE
This air compressor is designed to operate on a properly grounded 120
volt, 60Hz, single phase, alternating current (ac) power source with a
fused 20 amp time delayed fuse or circuit breaker. It is recommended that
a qualified electrician verify the ACTUAL VOLTAGE at the receptacle into
which the unit will be plugged and confirm that the receptacle is properly
fused and grounded. The use of the proper circuit size can eliminate
nuisance circuit breaker tripping while operating your air compressor.
