COMPRESSOR FEATURES
OIL LUBRICATION: Oil lubricated direct drive pump with cast-iron cylinder for durability.
OIL FILL SIGHT GLASS: Located on the face of the crankcase, the oil fill sight glass provides a convenient way to check the oil fill level
within the pump. The oil level must be checked prior to each use to ensure proper fill level.
DO NOT OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR WITHOUT LUBRICANT, OR WITH LOW LUBRICATION LEVEL. THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE COMPRESSOR DUE TO OPERATION WITHOUT PROPER LUBRICATION.
AUTOMATIC ON/OFF PRESSURE SWITCH: This compressor is equipped with an automatic ON/OFF pressure switch. The compressor will
only run when the switch is in the ON/AUTO position. Once the tank has reached the desired preset pressure (“cut-out” pressure), the
pump motor will automatically shut off. While the switch is in the ON/AUTO position, the pump motor will automatically turn back on
once the pressure in the tank drops below the minimum preset pressure (“cut-in” pressure).
DO NOT LEAVE THE COMPRESSOR UNATTENDED WHILE THE POWER SWITCH IS IN THE ON/AUTO POSITION.
UNPLUG POWER CORD WHEN NOT IN USE.
AIR TANK PRESSURE GAUGE: The tank pressure gauge provides a reading of the air pressure inside of the compressor tank.
PRESSURE REGULATOR: The regulator allows you to select the amount of air pressure that is output through the air hose into tools and
accessories. Turn the pressure regulator knob clockwise to increase discharge pressure, and counter clockwise to decrease discharge
pressure. Please refer to the air delivery requirements of your tools for the proper pressure settings.
NOTICE: Be careful not to overtighten pressure regulator knob when it “bottoms out” as this may damage pressure regulator.
OUTLET PRESSURE GAUGE: The outlet pressure gauge provides a reading of the air pressure at the outlet side of the regulator. This
pressure is controlled by the pressure regulator and is always less than or equal to the air tank pressure.
AIR OUTLET VALVE: The air outlet Valve is attached to the pressure regulator and can be open or closed to allow for shut off air flow. It is
recommended to attach a quick connect air coupler (not included) for quick connect and disconnection of air hose.
SAFETY RELIEF VALVE: This compressor is equipped with a safety relief valve that is designed to prevent system failures by relieving
pressure from the system when the air pressure reaches a predetermined level. The safety relief valve is preset by the manufacturer.
DO NOT attempt to modify or remove the safety relief valve.
AIR TANK DRAIN VALVE: Moisture is produced whenever air is compressed. It is critical to drain water from the air tank on this
compressor frequently. If unit is used only occasionally, tank should be drained after each use and prior to the next use. To drain the tank,
slowly open the tank drain fitting by turning clockwise. Once all moisture has drained out, close the fitting securely.
NOTE:
Air tank will
not pressurize while drain valve is open.
AIR INTAKE FILTER: This compressor is equipped with an externally accessible air intake filter that is designed to clean air coming into the
pump. The filter element is easily removed for periodic cleaning. Use compressed air to blow loose dirt and debris from the paper filter
element and reinstall. Replace paper filter element when necessary.
A dirty air filter will reduce air compressor performance and can lead to product failure.
MANUAL THERMAL OVERLOAD SWITCH: The electric motor has a manual thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any
reason, the thermal overload protector will shut off the motor. Turn pressure switch to the “off” position and wait for unit to cool before
pushing the reset button and restarting the compressor. NOTICE: This air compressor is designed for household use only and is not
intended to operate heavy-duty air tools. If your application’s demands exceed the capacity of this air compressor, a larger air compressor
that is matched to your application is recommended. If the unit shuts down again, please call the consumer helpline at 1-800-423-3598
for assistance.
CARRY HANDLE: Convenient handle for easy transport.
