ASSEMBLY Tools Required for Assembly 1 - 9/16" socket or open end wrench 1 - electric drill Unpacking Remove all packaging. It may be necessary to brace or support one side of the outfit when removing the pallet because the air compressor will have a tendency to tip.
To Install Air Filter Attach elbow to pump using bolts provided. Tighten until snug. Insert threaded end of air filter assembly into elbow and tighten until snug. INSTALLATION HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT Location of the Air Compressor • Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry, and well ventilated area.
Place the (4) washers (supplied) between the floor and air compressor feet. If needed, solid shims may be placed between the washers and floor to evenly distribute weight on all four feet. See next figure. Place the (4) 3/8" lag screws through the air compressor feet, washers, shims, and into the anchors.
● Use pipe that is the same size as the air tank outlet. Piping that is too small will restrict the flow of air. ● If piping is over 100 feet long, use the next larger size. ● Bury underground lines below the frost line and avoid pockets where condensation can gather and freeze.
OPERATION Know Your Air Compressor READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustrations with your unit to familiarize yourself with the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future reference. Description of Operation Become familiar with these controls before operating the unit.
Check Valve: When the air compressor is operating, Check Valve the check valve is "open", allowing compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches "cut-out" pressure, the check valve "closes", allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank. Pressure Release Valve: The pressure release valve, located on the side of the pressure switch, is designed to automatically release compressed air...
Check for excessive vibration. Readjust or shim air compressor feet, if necessary. After 20 minutes, close the globe valve.The air receiver will fill to "cut-out" pressure and the motor will stop. Before Each Start-Up: Place On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF". Close the globe valve. Attach hose and accessories.

To Drain Tank NOTE: Operation of the air compressor will cause condensation to build up in the air tank. Always drain tank on a washable surface or in a suitable container to prevent damaging or staining surfaces. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF". Close the globe valve.
Air Filter - Inspection and Replacement Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Compressor heads are exposed when filter cover is removed. Allow compressor to cool prior to servicing. A dirty air filter will not allow the compressor to operate at full capacity. Keep the air filter clean at all times.
Motor Pulley/Flywheel Alignment NOTE: Once the motor pulley has been moved from its factory set location, the grooves of the flywheel and pulley must be aligned to within 1/16" to prevent excessive belt wear. The air compressor flywheel and motor pulley must be in-line (in the same plane) within 1/16"...
SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS Unit cycles automatically when power is on. When doing Maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air or moving parts. Personal injuries can occur. Before performing any Maintenance or repair, unplug the compressor and bleed off all air pressure.
Using a screwdriver, carefully push the valve disc up and down. NOTE: The valve disc should move freely up and down on a spring which holds the valve disc in the closed position, if not the check valve needs to be cleaned or replaced.
