INSTALLATION
Assembly
Unpack the air compressor. Inspect the unit for damage. If the
unit has been damaged in transit, contact the carrier and
complete a damage claim. Do this immediately because there
are time limitations to damage claims.
The carton should contain:
•
air compressor
•
handle
•
operator's manual
•
instruction sheet
Check the compressor’s 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.
Lubrication and Oil
AIR COMPRESSOR
The air compressor pump was filled
WITH
oil at the manufacturer.
Check air compressor pump oil level before operating unit. See
Compressor Pump Oil
under
Maintenance
.
Compatibility
Air tools and accessories that are run off the compressor must be
compatible with petroleum based products. If you suspect that a
material is not compatible with petroleum products, an air line filter
for removal of moisture and oil vapor in compressed air is required.
NOTE:
Always use an air line filter to remove moisture and oil vapor
when spraying paint.
Location
• Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry, and well ventilated
area.
•
Locate the air compressor at least 12” (30.5 cm) away from the
wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air.
•
Locate the air compressor as close to the main power supply
as possible to avoid using long lengths of electrical wiring.
NOTE:
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 running parts to wear out
prematurely. Excessive moisture is especially likely to occur if
the unit is located in an unheated area that is subject to large
