Operation

Before operating your new air compressor:

● Inspect for damage before using the air compressor, make sure the air tank is not damaged, inspect all parts for damage, and check that all pipes and hoses are firmly connected.

● Do not use the air compressor if any damage is found. If damaged, have an authorized service center inspect and test the air compressor to ensure that is working properly.

● Pull the ring on the safety valve before each use to make sure the valve is functional.

Silent Air Series

● Depending on the CFM draw of the tools being operated, your new air compressor can be used for operating paint sprayers, air tools, grease guns, airbrushes, caulking guns, abrasive blasters, tire & plastic toy inflation, spraying weed killer and insecticides, etc. Proper adjustment of the air pressure regulator is necessary for all of these operations. Refer to the air pressure specifications provided with the tool you are using.

General Overview

Installation and Location

Locate the compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area. The compressor should be located

12 to 18 inches (30 to 45 cm) from walls or any other obstruction which would interfere with airflow.

Compressor should be located in a temperaturecontrolled area between 32° and 95° fahrenheit

(0 ° and 35 °C). Place the compressor on a firm, level surface. The compressor is designed with heat dissipation fins which allow for proper cooling. Keep the fins (and all other parts which collect dust or dirt) clean. A clean compressor runs cooler and provides longer service. Do not place rags, containers or other material on top of the compressor.

Connecting to Power Source

This air compressor is designed to operate on a properly grounded 120 volt, 60 Hz, single phase, alternating current (AC) power source with a fused

20 amp time-delayed fuse or circuit breaker. It is recommended that a qualified electrician verify the

ACTUAL VOLTAGE at the receptacle into which the unit will be plugged and confirm that the receptacle is properly fused and grounded. The use of the proper circuit size can eliminate nuisance circuit breaker tripping while operating your air compressor.

Extension Cords

● For optimum air compressor performance, an extension cord should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

● If you must choose between an electrical extension cord and a longer air hose, choose the latter. It is far better for the life of the compressor. If necessary, care must be taken in selecting an extension cord appropriate for use with your specific air compressor.

● Use a heavy-gauge extension, since very thin or very long cord may cause voltage drop and result in loss of power in the compressor and overheating. Select a properly grounded extension cord which will mate directly with the power source receptacle and the air compressor power cord without the use of adapters. Make certain that the extension cord is properly wired and in good electrical condition.

● Maximum length of extension cord should be

50 feet (15 meters). Minimum wire size of extension cord should be 12 gauge.

Attaching an air hose

Your air compressor is supplied with a 1/4" pushconnect air coupler (fig 6). With a factory installed air coupler, your compressor is ready to accept air hoses equipped with 1/4" male air connectors (fig 4).

Cold Weather Starting

Temperatures below freezing (32 °F / 0 °C) cause the metal parts of your air compressor to contract and that makes starting more difficult. To assist the air compressor in starting in cold weather, follow these tips:

1. Try to keep the air compressor stored in temperatures above 32 °F (0 °C).

2. Open the air tank drain valve and release all air pressure from the air tank before attempting to start in cold weather. (After air is released from air tank, close drain valve.)

3. Pull the ring on the safety valve before each use to make sure the valve is functional.

4. Plug the air compressor directly into a 120 volt electrical outlet. Do not use an extension cord when starting your air compressor in cold weather.

6. On the reservoir pressure gauge, you can watch pressure build in the tank until the pump stops at the factory-set pressure, about 115 to

125 psi.

7. This first time running your compressor and periodically thereafter, check for air leaks. If the gauge indicates pressure is going down in the tank or you hear leakage, you could apply soapy water to all joints in the air transport piping. Tighten these joints if bubbles form.

Adjusting the air pressure

Your air compressor is supplied with an air pressure regulator. This regulator adjusts the air pressure supplied to the hose.

fig 9

8

• To increase air pressure, turn air regulator knob (fig 10.10) clockwise.

• To decrease air pressure, turn air regulator knob counterclockwise.

• Use the outlet pressure gauge (fig 10.8) to see the resulting pressure.

Shutting off your compressor

1. Move the pressure switch clockwise to the OFF position (fig 9.0).

2. Unplug the compressor from the electical power.

3. If not draining the tank, reduce tank pressure through the air hose.

4. Drain the tank by slowly opening the drain valve

(fig 8.1). Place a catch basin under the valve to protect the surface from water damage.

Maintenance

Daily

● Before each use,

1. check for any unusual noise or vibration

2. be sure all nuts and bolts are tight

● After each use, drain condensation from the air tank.

Monthly

● Inspect air system for leaks by applying soapy water to all joints. Tighten these joints if leaks are discovered.

Storage

When storing your compressor:

1. Be sure the unit is turned OFF.

2. Unplug it from power source.

3. Rotate the regulator to set the outlet pressure to zero.

4. Release air pressure from all hoses and air tank(s).

5. Drain all moisture from air tank(s).

6. Fully close drain valve(s).

7. Protect electrical cord and air hoses from damage

(such as being stepped on or driven over). Wrap all cords and hoses loosely around the (cooled) air compressor.

8. Place air compressor in a cool, dry, safe, and indoor location.
