Check the air compressor specification label to ensure that you
have received the model ordered, and that it has the required
pressure rating for its intended use.
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.
Air Compressor Lubrication and Oil
The air compressor pump was filled WITH oil at the manufactur-
er. Check pump oil level before operating unit. See Air Com-
pressor Pump Oil under Maintenance.
COMPATIBILITY
Air tools and accessories that are run off the air compressor
must be compatible with petroleum based products. If you sus-
pect that a material is not compatible with petroleum products,
an air line filter for removal of moisture and oil vapor in com-
pressed air is required.
NOTICE: Always use an air line filter to remove moisture and oil
vapor when spraying paint.
LOCATION
•
Locate air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated
area.
•
Place air compressor at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from wall
or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air.
•
Place the air compressor as close to the main power supply
as possible to avoid using long lengths of electrical wiring.
NOTICE: Long lengths of electrical wiring could cause power-
loss to the motor.
•
The air filter must be kept clear of obstructions which could
reduce air flow to the air compressor.
HUMID AREAS
In frequently humid areas, moisture may form in the pump and
produce sludge in the oil, causing parts to wear out premature-
ly. Excessive moisture is especially likely to occur if the unit is
located in an unheated area that is subject to large temperature
changes. Two signs of excessive humidity are external conden-
sation on the pump when it cools down and a "milky" appear-
