INSTRUCTIONS.
WARNING
compressor.
High pressure air could result in death or serious injury. Never operate above maximum operating pressure
of the spray gun or tool. Drain water from tank after each use.
Do not weld or repair tank.
Do not operate with pressure switch or safety valve set above maximum allowable working pressure.
Hot compressor surfaces could result in serious injury. Allow compressor to cool before touching.
Inhalation hazard. Using compressor to supply breathing air could result in death or serious injury. Do not
use compressor to supply breathing air.
Risk of fire could result in death or serious injury.
Do not spray flammable materials in vicinity of any flame or ignition sources including the compressor unit.
Do not restrict compressor ventilation openings or place objects against or on top of compressor. Operate

Parts Description
A. ELECTRIC MOTOR: The motor is used to power the pump. It is equipped with at thermal overtoad
pfotector.If the motor overheats for any reason, the thermal overload protector will shut it down in
order to prevt the motor from being damaged.
A IR COMPRESSOR PUMP: The pump compresses the air and discharges it into the tank via the
piston that moves up and down in the cylinder.
B. POWER SWITCH: The switch turns the compressor on and off. It is operated manually and when it is
in the I (on) position, it allows the motor to start if the pressure in the air tank is below the factory
set cut-in pressure, and allows the motor to stop if the pressure in the air tank reaches the factory set
cut-out pressure. Be sure to set this switch to the O (off) position when the compressor is not being
used and before unplugging the compressor.

WARNING: Never exceed the maximum working pressure of the tool.

G
LINE
The outlet is connected to the air hose with quick connector.
WARNING
Never attempt to open the drain valve when the tank pressure is more than 10 PSI.
H. POWER CORD: This compressor should be used on a nominal 120 V grounded circuit Use a power
cord that is equipped with a grounding plug. Verify that the compressor is plugged into an outlet that
has the same configuration as the plug. Do not use an adapter with this compressor.
I. AIR TANK: The tank is where the compressed air is stored.
J. AIR TANK BALL VALVE: The ball valve is used to
remove moisture from the air tank after the compressor
is shut off.
Plug
Grounded
Check with a licensed electrician if the grounding
outlets
instructions are not understood or there is doubt as to
whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify
the plug provided. If it will not fit the outlet, have the
proper outlet installed by a licensed electrician.
Grounding pin
DANGER
Improper installation of the grounding plug will result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or
replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat
blade terminal. The grounding wire is in the green outer surface.
Operation Instructions
Breaking-in the pump
1. Set the power switch (B) to the 0 (off) position.
2. Open the tank drain valve (J) by turning it counter-counter clockwise to permit the air to escape and
prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during the break-in period.
3. Turn the air pressure regulator knob counter-clockwise until it stops.
4. Plug in the power cord (H).
5. Set the power switch (B) to the I (on) position. The compressor will start. Run the compressor
for 30 minutes. If it fails, turn it off immediately and call the toll-free helpline at (800) 743-4115.
6. After 30 mintes, set the power switch (B) to the 0 (off) position.
7. Close the tank drain valve (J) by turning it clockwise.
8. Set the power switch (B) to the I (on) position. The air tank will fill to “cut-out’’ pressure and then
the compressor's motor will stop. The compressor is now ready for use.
NOTES: During the initial break-in cycle, a slight smell from the motor brushes seat might be
present. This is normal for universal motors and should stop after a short moment.
Operating Instructions
Before each start-up
1. Set the power switch (B) to the 0 (off) position.
2. Turn the air pressure regulator knob (D) counter-clockwise until it stops.
3. Attach air hose/accessories or air tools.
Risk of bursting. Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of bursting. Check the
WARNING!
manufacturer's maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet pressure must
never exceed the maximum pressure rating.
How to start
1. Close the tank drain valve (J).
2. Plug in the power cord (H).
3. Set the power switch (B) to the I (on) position and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will stop
when tank pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure.
4. Turn the air pressure regulator knob (D) clockwise until desired pressure is reached.
5. The compressor is ready for use.
WARNING
If the pump has been transported or turned upside down (even partially), allow
the pump to sit in a normal, upright position for approximately 10 minutes before starting.
High temperatures are generated by the electiic motor and the pump.
To prevent bums or other injuries, DO NOT touch the air compressor while it is running.
Allow it to cool before handling or servicing. Keep children away from the air compressor at all times.
How to shut down
1. Set the power switch (B) to the 0 (off) position.
2. Unplug the power cord (H).
3. Reduce the pressure in the tank through the outlet hose.
Pulling the safety valve ring (C) and keeping
it open will also reduce the pressure in the tank.
CAUTION!
Escaping air and moisture can propel debris that may cause eye injury. Wear safety
goggles when opening the drain valve.
WARNING!
To avoid personal injuny, always shut off and unplug the unit, and relieve all air
relieve all air pressure from the system before performing any service on the air compressor.
Risk of unsafe operation. Unit cycles automatically when power is on. When
performing maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air or moving
parts. Personal injuries can occur. Before performing any maintenance or repair, disconnect
power source from the compressor and bleed off all air pressure.
