WARNING: RISK OF BURNS WHAT CAN HAPPEN Touching exposed metal such as the compressor head or outlet tubes, can result in serious burns. WARNING: RISK FROM MOVING PARTS WHAT CAN HAPPEN Moving parts such as the pulley, flywheel, and belt can cause serious injury if they com into contact with you or your clothing.
RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION WARNING: WHAT CAN HAPPEN Unsafe operation of your air compressor could lead to serious injury or death to you or others. HAZARD HOW TO PREVENT IT Always place COMPRESSOR on a...
Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet. Air compressors should be operated on not more than a 50% duty cycle. This means an air compressor that pumps air more than 50% of one hour is considered misuse, because the air compressor is undersized for the required air demand.
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.
Extension Cords Using extension cords is not recommended. The use of extension cords will cause voltage to drop resulting in power loss to the motor and overheating. Instead of using an extension cord, increase the working reach of the air hose by attaching another length of hose to its end.
"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 will protect against high pressure by "popping out" at its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch "cut-out"...
Serious damage (for units with a tank) 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.

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.
ALL MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OPERATIONS NOT LISTED MUST BE PERFORMED BY TRAINED SERVICE TECHNICIAN. Before servicing: • Unplug or disconnect electrical supply to the air compressor. • Bleed tank of pressure. • Allow the air compressor to cool. To Replace or Clean Check Valve Release all air pressure from air tank.
Reapply pipe sealant to gauges and hose. Reassemble gauges and hose. Orient gauges to read correctly. Tighten hose with wrench. 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.
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...
