SPECIFICATIONS
Your 1-1/2 hp ‘Hotdog’ Air Compressor:
=
Light weight: 22 lb / 10kg
=
Oil lubricated for durability and long life.
=
Extremely quiet operation
=
Includes air line regulator & gauge- set your exact line pressure (may require
attachment to compressor)
=
Oil breather cap (may require attachment to compressor)
=
115 volt, 60 hz, 10 amps
=
400 rpm
=
2.5 cfm @ 90 psi
=
Maximum pressure: 115 psi
=
Lubrication oil: SAE20 or SAE30 weight non-detergent oil
Your new air compressor can be used for operating paint, weed killer, and
insecticide sprayers, air tools, grease & caulking guns, sandblasters, inflation, etc.,
although you should compare the air demands of the tool against this compressor’s
2.5 c.f.m. output (at 90 psi). A tool with a higher air demand than this compressor
can produce may either not function, or not function well. It may also cause the
compressor to run without stopping for long periods of time, trying to maintain
pressure in the tank. This can cause the either the motor or compressor pump to
overheat and damage them. Be sure the requirements of your tools can be met by
the compressor.
To compress air, the piston in the pump moves up and down in the cylinder. On
the down stroke, air is drawn in through the inlet valve. Since the discharge valve
remains closed, as the piston goes up, the air in the cylinder is compressed. The
inlet valve closes and compressed air is forced out into the air receiver. A check
valve prevents it from going back into the pump. Working air is not immediately
available. The pump continues to add air until the air receiver pressure builds to
above that required at the regulator.
INSTALLATION AND LOCATION
=
Locate the compressor in a clean, dry and well-ventilated area, on a firm level
surface.
=
It should be located 30 to 45cm / 12 to 18 inches from a wall or any other ob
-
struction that would interfere with the air flow. It is equiped with heat dissipation
fins that allow for proper cooling. Keep them and other parts free of dust or dirt
that could interfere with cooling. A clean compressor runs cooler and provides
longer service.
=
Do not place anything on top of the compressor.
=
Do not use lead-tin solder to join pipes and fittings. It can melt at the tempera
-
tures of the compressor’s air discharge and cause the piping to burst.
EXTENSION CORDS
If you plan to use an extension cord when operating your air compressor, please
note:
=
Maximum length: not to exceed 15m / 50 ft.
=
Minimum wire size: 14 gauge.
If the extension cord is too long or the wire size is too small, the air compressor will
not start.
COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION
=
CHECK THE OIL quantity and quality before operating the compressor. Do not
add or change oil while the compressor is in operation. Use only oil with the
correct specifications. With the air compressor on level surface, the oil level
should be at the red dot on the oil level sight glass.
=
If oil level is low, remove oil fill plug/breather cap, add enough oil to bring level
to the red dot. Do not over-fill.
