OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

  

1.  

IMPORTANT: Always operate the compressor at or below the MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING of  

  the compressor.  Please refer to Application & Specifications Sections of this manual for details.

2.  Always observe the MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE of the air compressor.  Refer to Compressor  

  Applications and Specifications Sections of this manual for details. Operation exceeding  

  maximum pressure ratings and/or duty cycle will result in damage to the air compressor.  

3.  Your air compressor is equipped with an AUTOMATIC THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR.  This  

  feature is designed to protect the air compressor from overheating and causing permanent  

  damage to your air compressor. The thermal overload protector will automatically cut power to  

  your air compressor should the internal operating temperature of the air compressor rise above  

  safe levels during excessive use. 

4.  Should at any time during use, your air compressor automatically shuts off; do not attempt to  

  restart it.  Turn off power and allow unit to cool for about 30 minutes. This will allow the Thermal  

  Overload Protector to reset so you can safely resume use of the air compressor.

5.  To prevent discharge of your vehicle’s battery, and enhance performance, keep the vehicle’s  

  engine running while using the compressor. 

6.  Only operate compressor in well ventilated areas. 

7.  The use of a relay is strongly recommended for installation of this compressor, but not included.  

  (40-amp relay value or higher per compressor recommended).

MAINTENANCE & REPAIRS

1.  Periodically check all electrical and fittings connections.  Clean and tighten as needed.  

2.  Periodically check all mounting screws.  Tighten as needed.

3.  Replace Air Filter Element periodically. Replacement frequency depends on operating frequency and  

  operating environment.  For frequent use in dusty environment, we recommend that you replace air  

  filter element at least once a month.  

4.  Regularly clean dust and dirt from compressor cooling fins and motor housing.

5.  Your air compressor is equipped with a permanently lubricated, maintenance-free motor. Never try to  

  lubricate the compressor.

6.  All repairs should be performed by Manufacturer or Manufacturer’s Authorized Service Agencies only.  

  

 

CAUTION: 

Never touch the air compressor or fittings connected to the air compressor, with bare hands during 

or immediately after use. The leader hose and fittings connected to leader hose will become very 

HOT during and after use. If necessary, wear heat resistant gloves to handle fittings, air line, and 

leader hose.
