Voltage And Circuit Protection; Operation - Craftsman CMXECXM301 Instruction Manual

ENGLISH

Voltage and Circuit Protection

Refer to the Voltage and Minimum Branch Circuit
Requirements under Specifications.
• Voltage supply to circuit must comply with
the National Electrical Code.
• Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs.
• Extension cords comply with specifications.
• Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or 15
amp time delay fuse.
NOTE: If compressor is connected to a circuit protected by
fuses, use only time delay fuses. Time delay fuses should be
marked "D" in Canada and "T" in the US. 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.
INSTALLING AND DISCONNECTING HOSES
Installing Hoses
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp
hose in hand when installing or disconnecting to
prevent hose whip.
1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
2. Grasp the hose at the quick connect plug and push the
plug into the quick connect body (L). Coupler will snap
into place.
3. Grasp the hose and pull to ensure coupler is seated.
Disconnecting Hoses
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp
hose in hand when installing or disconnecting to
prevent hose whip.
1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0kPa).
2. Pull coupler on quick connect body back to release
quick connect plug on hose.

OPERATION

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power
source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories. An
accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Unit cycles
automatically when power is on. When performing
maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage
sources, compressed air, or moving parts. Personal
injuries can occur. Before performing any
maintenance or repair, disconnect power source
from the compressor and bleed off all air pressure.
Know The Air Compressor
READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES
BEFORE OPERATING THE UNIT. Compare the illustrations
with the unit to familiarize yourself with the location of
various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for
future reference.
Description of Operation (Fig. A)
Become familiar with these controls before operating
the unit.
AUTO/ OFF SWITCH
Place this switch (1) in the "AUTO" position to provide
automatic power to the pressure switch and "OFF" to
remove power at the end of each use.
PRESSURE SWITCH (NOT SHOWN)
The pressure switch (2) automatically starts the motor when
the air tank pressure drops below the factory set "cut-in"
pressure. It stops the motor when the air tank pressure
reaches the factory set "cut-out" pressure.
SAFETY VALVE
If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at
its "cut-out" pressure setting, the safety valve (3) will protect
against high pressure by "popping out" at its factory set
pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch "cut-out"
setting).
TANK PRESSURE GAUGE
The tank pressure gauge (4) indicates the reserve air
pressure in the tank.
AIR INTAKE FILTER
The filter (6) is designed to clean air entering the pump. To
ensure the pump continually receives a clean, cool, and dry
air supply, the filter must always be clean and the filter
intake must be free from obstructions.
