WARNING: RISk Of BURSTING air tank: On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission published Release # 02-108 concerning air compressor tank safety: Air compressor receiver tanks do not have an infinite life. Tank life is dependent upon several factors, some of which include operating conditions, ambient conditions, proper installa- tions, field modifications, and the level of maintenance. The exact effect of these factors on air receiver life is difficult to predict. If proper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal corrosion to the inner wall of the air receiver tank can cause the air tank to unexpectedly rupture allowing pressurized air to suddenly�and�forcefully�escape,�posing�risk�of�injury�to�consumers. Your compressor air tank must be removed from service by the end of the year shown on your tank warning label. The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in a violent air tank explosion: What can haPPen hoW to PreVent It � •� Failure� to� properly� drain� condensed� water from air tank, causing rust and thinning of the steel air tank. •� Drain�air�tank�daily�or�after�each�use.�If�air�tank� develops a leak, replace it immediately with a new air tank or replace the entire compressor. � •� Modifications�or�attempted�repairs�to�the� air tank. � •� Never�drill�into,�weld,�or�make�any�modifications� to the air tank or its attachments. Never attempt to repair a damaged or leaking air tank. Replace with a new air tank. � •� Unauthorized�modifications�to�the�safety� valve or any other components which control air tank pressure. � •� The�air�tank�is�designed�to�withstand�specific� operating�pressures.�Never�make�adjustments� or parts substitutions to alter the factory set operating pressures. attachments & accessories: •� Exceeding� the� pressure� rating� of� air� tools, spray guns, air operated acces- sories, tires, and other inflatables can cause them to explode or fly apart, and could�result�in�serious�injury. ���•� Follow� the� equipment� manufacturers� recommendation and never exceed the maximum allowable pressure rating of attachments. Never use compressor to inflate� small� low� pressure� objects� such� as� children’s toys, footballs, basketballs, etc. tires: � •� Over inflation of tires could result in serious�injury�and�property�damage. � •� Use� a� tire� pressure� gauge� to� check� the� tires� pressure before each use and while inflating tires; see the tire sidewall for the correct tire pressure. note: Air tanks, compressors and similar equipment used to inflate tires can fill small tires� very� rapidly.� Adjust� pressure� regulator� on� air supply to no more than the rating of the tire pressure. Add air in small increments and frequently use the tire gauge to prevent over inflation.

SAve TheSe InSTrucTIonS For FuTure uSe components (Fig. 1) A. On (I) /Off (O) Switch F. Check Valve B. Air Tank Pressure Gauge G. Safety Valve C. Regulated Pressure Gauge H. Air Tank Drain Valve D. Pressure Regulator I. Power Cord Wrap E. Quick Connects FeATureS (Fig. 1) on (I) / oFF (o) sWItch Place this switch (A) in the ON (I) position to provide automatic power to the pressure switch and OFF (O) to remove power at the end of each use. Pressure sWItch The pressure switch automatically starts the motor when the air tank pressure drops below the factory set cut-in pressure. It stops the motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory set cut-out pressure. saFety ValVe If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its cut-out pressure setting, the safety valve (G) will protect against high pressure by popping out at its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch cut-out setting). check ValVe When the air compressor is operating, the check valve (F) is open, allowing compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches cut-out pressure, the check valve closes, allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank. tank Pressure GauGe The tank pressure gauge (B) indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank. reGulated Pressure GauGe The outlet pressure gauge (C) indicates the air pressure available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the regulator and is always less than or equal to the tank pressure. reGulator The regulator (D) controls the air pressure shown on the outlet pressure gauge. Turn regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease pressure. 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. unIVersal QuIck connect BodIes The universal Quick Connect body (E) accepts the three most popular styles of Quick Connect plugs: Industrial, automotive, and ARO. The two quick connect bodies allow the use of two tools at the same time. draIn ValVe The drain valve (H) is located at the base of the air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of each use. See draining air tank under Maintenance. coolInG systeM This compressor contains an advanced design cooling system. It is normal for this fan to blow air through the vent holes in large amounts. The cooling system is working when air is expelled. aIr coMPressor PuMP The pump compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that required at the air outlet. Motor oVerload Protector The motor has a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting. To restart: 1. Set the On/Off lever to OFF and unplug unit. 2. Allow the motor to cool. 3. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. 4. Set the On/Off lever to ON position.
