Grounding instructions
-
This product is for use on a nominal 230 volt circuit and has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated in Fig.5. Make sure the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug. This product must be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. Plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
⚠ DANGER! Do not use a grounding adapter with this product! -
If repair or replacement of power cord or plug is necessary, do not connect grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an external surface that is green (with or without yellow stripes) is the grounding wire.
⚠ WARNING! Never connect green (or green and yellow) wire to a live terminal. -
Check with a qualified electrician or service man if grounding instructions not completely understood or in doubt as to whether product is properly grounded. Never modify the plug receptacle privately; if there are not fitting outlet, make proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
WARNING!
-
Local electrical wiring codes differ from area to area. Source wiring, plug and protector must be rated for at least the amperage and voltage indicated on motor nameplate, and meet all electrical codes for this minimum,
-
Use a slow blow fuse or a circuit breaker.
⚠ CAUTION! Overheating, short circuiting and fire damage will result from inadequate wiring, etc.
NOTE: 230 volt, 5 amp units can be operated on a 230volt circuit under the following conditions:
a. No other electrical appliances or lights are connected to the same branch circuit.
b. Voltage supply is normal.
c. Circuit is equipped with a 5 amp circuit breaker or a 15 amp slow blow fuse. -
If these conditions cannot be met or if disconnection of current protection device occurs, it may be necessary to operate compressor from a 230 volt, 5 amp circuits.
Operation
Pressure Switch-Auto/Off Switch-In the “AUTO” position, the compressor shuts off automatically when tank pressure reaches the maximum preset pressure (0.8Mpa) and runs automatically when tank pressure reaches the minimum preset pressure (about 0.6Mpa). In the “OFF” position, the compressor will not operate.
This switch should be in the “OFF” position when connecting or disconnecting the power cord from the electrical outlet or when changing air tools. Regulator-The regulator use to adjust pressure of outlet to fitting air-power tools. Safety Valve- It release compressed air automatically when pressure in tank exceeds allowing pressure. Discharge Pipe- Discharge pipe connects pump head and check valve. It is hot when compressor is running. To avoid grievous burn, never touch discharge Pipe. Check Valve-Check valve is a one-way valve allowing compressed air go ahead to the tank, but prevents compressed air in tank back to pump. Handle and wheels-Designed to move the compressor easily. YWARNING! Never use the handle on wheeled units to lift the unit completely off the ground. Drain Valve-This valve locate at bottom of the tank used to exhaust water from the tank. Make sure gauge pressure of tank is below 1 Bar, open the drain valve to exhaust water from tank, close it tightly. This action should be done every week.
Break-in procedure
⚠ CAUTION! Do not attach air chuck or other tools to the outlet until
unit have been checked and start procedure has been
completed.
IMPORTANT: Do not operate compressor before reading instructions, otherwise damage may result.
- Turn regulator fully clockwise to open airflow.
- Turn switch to OFF position and plug in power cord.
- Turn switch to AUTO position and run unit for 30 minutes to run the pump parts.
- Turn regulator knob fully counter clockwise. Compressor will build to maximum pre-set pressure and shut off. Figure 8:
- Turn regulator knob clockwise to bleed off air. Compressor will restart at a pre-set pressure (about 6 bar).
- Turn regulator knob counter clockwise to shut off the air and turn switch to off position.
- Attach chuck or other tool to outside. Open the pressure switch to AUTO position, the compressor starts work and pumps air into the tank. It shuts off automatically when unit reaches its maximum preset pressure. In the OFF position, the pressure switch cannot function and the compressor will not operate. Make sure switch is in OFF position when connecting or disconnecting power cord to electrical receptacle.
Moisture in compressed air.
Moisture in the air will change to water when air is compressed or temperature
is drop. When humidity is high or when a compressor is in continuous use for a
long time, Water will collect in the tank. If you use a paint spray or
sandblast gun, Moisture will be carried from the tank through the hose, and
out of the gun as water mixed with the spray material. IMPORTANT: This
condensation will cause water spots in a paint job, especially when spraying
other than water based paints. If sandblasting, it will cause the sand to case
and clog the gun rendering it ineffective. A dry filter in the air line,
located nearby the gun as possible, will help eliminate this moisture.
Safety valve
⚠ WARNING! Do not remove or attempt to adjust the safety valve!
Safety valve should be checked under pressure occasionally by pulling the ring
by hand. If air leakage after ring has been released, or valve is stuck and
cannot be actuated by ring, it MUST be replaced.
Regulator (figure 6)
- Regulator adjusts air pressure to fit an air-operated tool or paint spray gun.
- Adjust outlet air pressure by turn the knob as Fig 6 show. Figure 6:
Pressure gauge There are 1 or 2 gauges on this type of compressor, one shows pressure in tank and another one (if there are 2 gauges) shows outlet’s pressure after regulator.
Maintenance
WARNING! Disconnect power source then release all pressure from the
system before attempting to install, service, relocate or perform any
maintenance. Check compressor often for any visible problems and follow
maintenance procedures each time compressor is used.
-
Pull ring on safety valve and allow it to snap back to normal position.
⚠ WARNING! Safety valve must be replaced if it cannot be actuated or it leaks air after ring is released. -
Turn compressor off and release pressure from system. Drain moisture from tank by opening drain cock underneath
tank. -
Clean dust and dirt from motor, tank, and airlines and pump cooling fins while compressor is still OFF. Important: Locate unit as far from spraying area, as hose will allow preventing overspray from clogging filter.
Lubrication
SAE30 oil is suggested to use. Keep the oil’s level in the red cycle of oil
glass.
Thermal overload protector
CAUTION! This compressor is equipped with an automatic reset thermal overload
protector, which will shut off motor if it becomes overheated. If thermal
overload protector shuts motor OFF frequently, look for the following causes.
- Low voltage.
- Clogged air filter.
- Lack of proper ventilation.
⚠ CAUTION! If the thermal overload protector is actuated, the motor must be allowed to cool down before start-up is possible. The motor will automatically restart without warning if left plugged into electrical outlet and unit is turned on.
Storage
- When not in use, store hose and compressor in a cool dry place.
- Exhaust water from tank.
- Disconnect hose and hang it on top of compressor, to avoid damage.
