Pump Parts List 1. GENERAL INFORMATION Congratulations on your choice of a Powerfist Compressor. This equipment has been designed and manufactured to meet the light industrial and consumer needs of air compressors. Safe, efficient and trouble free operation of your Compressor requires that you and anyone else who will be operating and maintaining the machine, read and understand all of the safety, operation maintenance and troubleshooting information contained within this Operator’s Manual.
2. SAFETY GUIDELINES DEFINITIONS Safety symbols identify important safety messages that alert to the possibility of personal injury or death. Review them carefully before operating the unit and before performing maintenance or repairs. Check the rules and regulations at your location and identify possible hazards. The appropriate signal word for each message has been selected using the following guidelines: - Danger indicates an immediate and specific hazard, which will result in severe personal injury or death if the proper precautions are not taken.
3. OPERATION 3.1 HOW THE COMPRESSOR WORKS 3.1.1 COMPONENTS The basic components of the air compressor are the gasoline engine, pump, tank and unloader. The gasoline engine (item A) powers the pump. The engine drives a pulley and belt, which transfers power from the engine to the pump pistons via a flywheel and a crankshaft.

3.1.2 CONTROLS 1. Unloader/Check Valve The unloader (see Figure 2 below) maintains pressure between the “cut-in” and “cut-out” pressure levels. At low-pressure levels, all the compressor discharge air passes through the unloader into the tank. When the tank air pressure reaches the desired cut-out pressure, the vent port in the unloader opens allowing all compressor discharge air to be vented to atmosphere.
3.1.3 INLET AIR SYSTEM A clean, cool and dry air supply is essential to the satisfactory operation of your compressor. The standard air filter that the compressor is equipped with when leaving the factory is of sufficient size and is designed to meet normal conditions, when properly serviced in accordance with the maintenance section of this manual.

3.2 ASSEMBLY 1. Unpack the air compressor. Inspect the unit for damage. If the unit has been damaged in transit complete a damage claim. 2. Check the compressor’s item number to confirm you have received the model ordered. 3. Ensure that adequate lifting equipment is available for moving the compressor. Follow good shop practices and safety procedures.
3.4 BREAK-IN & START-UP This instruction manual, as well as any instructions supplied by the manufacturers of supporting equipment, should be read and understood prior to starting the compressor. With the pre-operation checklist completed and satisfied proceed to start the compressor. 1.

4.3 LUBRICANT 1. Oil Level Always operate the unit in a level position. Prior to start-up, check the sight glass to ensure the oil in the pump is at the required level. If the oil level is too low, remove the oil fill plug and add oil until the level is at the center of the sight glass.

5. TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION Compressor Stalls Low gasoline Add gasoline. Bad unloader/check valve Replace unloader/check valve. Seized pump Contact authorized service center. Low engine idle speed or improper Refer to Engine Operator’s Manual. carburetor setting Low discharge pressure Air leaks Tighten or replace leaking fittings or connections.
Page 13
PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION Compressor won’t start in cold Too much back pressure in tank Release pressure from unloader by pulling toggle temperature upwards and start the engine. Discharged battery Recharge Compressor too cold Move compressor to a warmer location. Using wrong grade oil Use ISO 1001 30W compressor oil in temperatures above 30°F (-1°C) and 10W oil below 30°F (-1°C).
