OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preparing for Startup
WARNING:
Risk of bursting. Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating a. Set the ON/OFF switch (I) to the O (off) position.
b. Turn the air pressure regulator knob (D) counter clockwise until it stops.
c. Attach air hose/accessories or air tools (not included) to the quick coupler (F).

2. Starting up the Compressor
WARNING:
High temperatures are generated by the electric motor and the pump. To prevent burns or other injuries, DO NOT touch the compressor while it is running. Allow it to cool before handling or servicing.
Keep children away from the compressor at all times.

WARNING:
When adjusting from a higher to a lower pressure, turn the knob counterclockwise past the desired setting. Then turn clockwise to reach the desired pressure.
Do not exceed operating pressure of the tool or accessory being used.
a. Close the tank drain valve (G) by turning clockwise.
b. Plug in the power cord (J).
c. Set the ON/OFF switch (I) to the I (on) position and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank pressure reaches “cut-out” pressure.
d. Turn the air pressure regulator knob (D) clockwise until desired pressure is reached. e. The compressor is ready for use.
3. Shutting Down the Compressor
WARNING:
To avoid personal injury, always shut off and unplug the unit, and relieve all air pressure from the system before performing any service on the air compressor.
WARNING:
Risk of unsafe operation. The 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 the power source from the compressor and bleed off all air pressure.
CAUTION:
Escaping air and moisture can propel debris that may cause eye injury. Wear safety goggles when opening the drain valve.
a. Set the ON/OFF switch (I) to the O (off) position.
b. Unplug the power cord (J).
c. Reduce the pressure in the tank through the outlet hose. Pulling the pressure relief valve ring (H) and keeping it open will also reduce the pressure in the tank. d. Tip the compressor so the tank drain valve is at the bottom of the tank. Then open the tank drain valve counterclockwise to allow moisture to drain from the tank. kobalttools.com

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
To avoid personal injury, always shut off and unplug the unit and relieve all air pressure from the system before performing any service on the air compressor.
Regular maintenance will ensure trouble-free operation. The items listed here should be inspected on a regular basis.
• On a daily basis, drain the tank to prevent corrosion from forming inside the tank. Drain the condensation at the end of every day. Wear protective goggles. Relieve the air pressure in the system and then open the drain valve (G) on the bottom of the tank.
• On a daily basis, pull the pressure relief valve (H) to ensure that it is operating properly and to clear the valve of any possible obstructions.
• A dirty will reduce the unit’s performance and life. To avoid any contamination inside the pump, the should be cleaned weekly and replaced on a regular basis. Foam should be cleaned in warm and soapy water.
• Check all connections to ensure they are tight. A small leak from any part of the compressor will reduce the unit’s performance. Spray a small amount of soapy water
around the area of the suspected leak with a spray bubble. If bubbles appear,
repair or replace the faulty component. Do not overtighten any connections.
I
• Before storing the unit for a long period, do the following:
• Use an air blow gun (not included) to clean all dust and debris from the compressor.
• Disconnect and coil the power cord.
• Pull the pressure relief valve to release all pressure from the tank.
• Drain all moisture from the tank.
• Cover the entire unit to protect it from moisture and dust.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
There is low pressure, not enough air, or the compressor does not stop.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. The tank drain valve is open.
2. There is a leak in the
3. There is a prolonged or excessive use of air.
4. The compressor is not large enough.
5. There is a hole in the air hose.
6. The tank leaks.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. Close the drain valve.
2. Check with soapy water.
Tighten or reseal leaking
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
3. Decrease the amount of air used.
4. Check the air requirement of the accessory. If it is higher than the
CFM and the pressure supplied by the compressor, you need a larger compressor. Most accessories are rated at 25% of the actual CFM while running continuously.
5. Check and replace if necessary.
6.
WARNING:
Immediately replace the tank. DO NOT attempt to repair.
Air leaks from the regulator or the regulator does not regulate air pressure.
7. The seals are blown.
8. The valve leaks.
9. There is a leaking or worn piston.
1. The internal parts of the regulator are dirty or damaged.
1. This is normal.
The regulated pressure gauge reading drops when the air accessory is being used.
The pressure relief valve opens.
2. The compressor is not large enough.
1. The tank pressure exceeds the normal rating pressure.
2. The pressure switch is stuck.
7. Replace the compressor assembly.
8 Replace the compressor assembly.
9. Replace the compressor assembly.
1. Replace the regulator or internal parts.
1. If the pressure drops too low, adjust the regulator while the accessory is used.
2. Check the air requirement of the accessory. If it is higher than the
CFM and the pressure supplied by the compressor, you need a larger compressor. Most accessories are rated at 25% of the actual CFM while running continuously.
1. Replace the pressure switch.
2. Replace the pressure switch.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM
The motor will not run.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. Tank pressure exceeds the
7.
preset pressure switch limit.
2. The fuse is blown or the circuit breaker tripped.
3. The check valve is stuck in the open position.
4. The wire gauge in the cord is wrong or the extension cord length is excessive.
5. There are loose electrical connections.
6. The motor’s thermal overload protection has tripped.
The motor, capacitor or safety valve is defective.
CORRECTIVE ACTION
1. The motor will start automatically when the tank pressure drops below the tank cut-in pressure.
2. Replace the blown fuse or reset the circuit breaker. Do not use a fuse or circuit breaker with a higher circuit.
Check for proper fuse; type T fuse is acceptable.
Check for low voltage and proper extension cord size.
Disconnect other applications from the circuit. Operate the compressor on a dedicated circuit.
3. Remove and clean or replace.
4. Check for proper gauge and extension cord length.
5. Contact an authorized service center.
6. Turn the air compressor off, unplug the power cord and wait until the motor has cooled down. Plug in the power cord only after the motor has cooled down, waiting the thermal overload protector has recovered.
7. Have the compressor serviced by a qualified technician.
