Discharge Tube
- This tube carries
compressed air from the pump to the
check valve. This tube becomes very hot
during use. To avoid the risk of severe
burns, never touch the discharge tube.
Check Valve
- One-way valve that
allows air to enter the tank, but
prevents air in the tank from flowing
back into the compressor pump.
Tank Drain
- This valve is located on
the bottom of the tank. Use this valve
to drain moisture from the tank daily
to reduce the risk of corrosion.
Reduce tank pressure below 10 psi by
pulling the safety valve, then drain
moisture from tank. Drain daily to
avoid tank corrosion.
LUBRICATION
This is an oilless product and
does not
require lubrication to operate.
Installation
(Cont.)
Improper use of grounding
plug can result in a possible
risk of electrical shock!
Do not
use a
grounding adapter with this product!
2. If repair or replacement of cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect
grounding wire to either flat blade
terminal. The wire with insulation
having an external surface that is
green (with or without yellow
stripes) is the grounding wire.
Never
connect
green (or green and yellow) wire to a
live terminal.
3. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if
in doubt as to whether product is
properly grounded. Do not modify
plug provided; if it will not fit outlet,
have proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
WIRING
1. Local electrical wiring codes differ
from area to area. Source wiring,
plug and protector must be rated for
at least the amperage and voltage
indicated on motor nameplate, and
meet all electrical codes for this
minimum.
2. Use a slow blow fuse or a circuit
breaker.
Glossary of Terms
Pressure Switch
- Auto/Off Switch - In
the
AUTO
position, the compressor
shuts off automatically when tank
pressure reaches the maximum preset
pressure. In the
OFF
position, the
compressor will not operate. This
switch should be in the
OFF
position
when connecting or disconnecting the
power cord from the electrical outlet or
when changing air tools.
Regulator
- The regulator controls the
amount of air pressure released at the
hose outlet.
ASME Safety Valve
- This valve
automatically releases air if the tank
pressure exceeds the preset maximum.

MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR
Moisture in compressed air will
form into droplets as it comes from
an air compressor pump. When
humidity is high or when a
compressor is in continuous use for
an extended period of time, this
moisture will collect in the tank.
When using a paint sprayer, this
water will be carried from the tank
through the hose, and out of the
gun as droplets mixed with the
spray material.
IMPORTANT:
This condensation
will cause water spots in a paint
job, especially when spraying other
than water based paints. A filter in
the air line, located as near to the
gun as possible, will help eliminate
this moisture.
