SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Please familiarize yourself with the following information to prevent damage to your compressor unit and injury to the operator.
CAUTIONS

CAUTION
The air compressor and motor will get hot while in 4 ad operation. Never touch the discharge tubing, motor or compressor pump while in operation. The compressor operates automatically while the power is connected and turned on.

WARNING
Compressed air from the unit may contain hazard­ous fumes. Air produced by this compressor is not suitable for breathing purposes. Always use a res­ praetor when  spraying paint or chemicals, or when sandblasting. Always wear safety glasses or goggles when using compressed air.
It is not practical or possible to warn you  about all the hazards associated with operating or maintaining this equipment. You must use your own good judgment.

AIR RECEIVER
Over pressurizing the air receiver could cause personal injury or material damage. To protect from over pressurizing, a factory pre-set safety valve is installed.

NEVER WELD, DRILL OR CHANGE THE AIR RECEIVER IN ANY WAY

Any replacement parts should be purchased with the same specifica­tions as the original equipment. Please contact the authorized dealer for replacement parts or  specifications.
SAFETY VALVE
This valve is factory installed to prevent over pressurizing of the air receiver. It is factory set at a specific limit for your particular model, and should never be tampered with.
Adjustment by user will automatically void the warranty.

DO NOT REMOVE, MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO OR SUBSTITUTE THIS VALVE!

INSTALLATION & OPERATION

INSTALLATION
Proper care, maintenance and lubrication ensures longevity. The com­ pressor should always be level for proper lubrication. Use only in a clean, dry, and well- ventilated area. The compressor has heat dissipation fins for proper cooling. Keep the fins and other parts that collect dust clean. Do not place rags or other  materials on top of the compressor, as this obstructs cooling and can be a fire hazard. For Indoor Use Only.
MOUNTING
Mount the compressor on a concrete pad or solid floor, making certain that the air receiver feet are level and that no stress is placed on the legs when the mounting  nuts, if used, are tightened, shim feet if necessary. Severe vibrations will result when feet are uneven and drawn tightly to the floor, which can lead to welds  cracking or fatigue failure of the air receiver. Mount at least 12 inches from side walls (and floor or ceiling).

ALMOST ALL WELD CRACKS OR FATIGUE FAILURES ARE CAUSED BY IMPROPER INSTALLATION AND ARE NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY.

WIRING
**** REGULATIONS REQUIRE THAT ALL WIRING BE DONE BY A LICENSED ELECTRICIAN, FAILURE TO DO SO COULD VOID YOUR WARRANTY.

A) Single phase models with factory installed wiring between the electric motor and the pressure switch, – do not require a mag­netic starter.
B) Single phase models which are not pre wired between pressure switch and motor require a magnetic starter or combo switch (can be supplied by Wood Industries, Inc.)
C) Three phase models require magnetic starters or comb pressure switches (can be supplied by Wood Industries, Inc.) and are not factory Pre-wired in any way.
**** ALL WIRING INFORMATION IS STATED ON THE ELECTRIC MOTOR AND ON THE PRESSURE SWITCH OR PROVIDED WITH THE MAGNETIC  STARTER, IF SUPPLIED. WII CUSTOMER SERVICE PERSONNEL CANNOT, BY LAW, PROVIDE ANY WIRING INFORMATION.
Any warranty claims for electrical components can only be considered when submitted with proof of proper electrical installation.
BEFORE OPERATING THE AIR COMPRESSOR PLEASE CHECK THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY:

1. Check to see that nuts and bolts are all snug.
2. Check if the quantity and quality of oil is correct.
3. If the intake filters are dirty, they should be replaced or cleaned.

COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION
**** LWAYS CHECK THE OIL LEVEL AND QUALITY BEFORE START-UP. DO NOT ADD OR CHANGE OIL WHILE THE UNIT IS RUNNING.USE ONLY RECOMMENDED NON-DETERGENT OIL.

RECOMMENDED OIL.
Eagle compressor oil: #EAOIL 10 (1 Liter)
Eagle compressor oil: #EAOIL 40 (4 Liters).
* Compressor originally filled with SAE 20W oil (ISO 68)

compressor oil is a non-detergent mineral oil formulated with ad­ditives to help minimize carbon build-up, increase ring life and reduce oil  consumption, for use at ambient temperatures of 0° to 30°C (32F -86F).

OTHER APPROVED OILS.

Regular mineral oils can also be used in Wood Industries, Inc. compressors. Always use a non-detergent oil with the following specifications:

FILLING THE COMPRESSOR WITH OIL

1. Remove the oil filler plug
2. Slowly pour the proper oil into the pump crankcase.
3. Always keep oil level in the middle of the sight glass.

OIL CHANGES

INITIAL OIL CHANGE DUE AT 100 HOURS.
CHANGE OIL EVERY 300 HOURS OR 3 MONTHS WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.

1. Remove the oil drain plug. Allow oil to drain completely.
2. Replace the oil drain plug.
3. Refill with the recommended oil to the proper level.

ENGINE LUBRICATION (If Engine Driven)
Check engine Owner’s manual for lubrication and maintenance requirements.

MAINTENANCE

Before doing any maintenance or adjustments to your air compressor, the following safety precautions should be taken:
► TURN OFF AND LOCK OUT ELECTRIC POWER.
► DRAIN AIR RECEIVER AND AIR LINES OF AIR PRESSURE.

CHECKING BELT TENSION (If_belt_driven)
Adjust belt(s) so when pressure is applied at the center, there is approx.­ matily 1/2″ slack (see diagram “Figure A” below).
If the belt is in­ stalled too tight, the motor might be overloaded. This will cause the mo­tor to overheat. If the belt is installed too loosely, it will slip and excessive  wear and vibration will occur.

HOW TO INSTALL A NEW BELT IF REQUIRED:

1. Disconnect power supply.
2. Remove belt guard.
3. Loosen motor bolts and slide motor toward compressor head just enough to allow old belt to be removed.
4. Install proper replacement belt.
5. Slide motor away from compressor head to provide recommend­ed tension as shown in diagram (Figure A.)
6. Align belt using a straight edge ruler against pulley’s edge.
7. Fasten motor bolts.
8. Ensure motor and compressor pulley’s are secure. Re­check alignment.
9. Re­install belt guard and reconnect power supply.
10. Belt tension should be checked after 20 hours of operation. Check tension monthly thereafter.

OPERATING YOUR AIR COMPRESSOR
**** EXTRA CARE SHOULD BE TAKEN’ TO AVOID PERSONAL INJURIES WITH AUTOMATIC CONTROLLED COMPRESSORS.

1. Check unit for any damage. All compressors are tested and in­ specter at the factory and supplied in perfect condition. Any damage is the freight carriers’  responsibility and you must notify the freight company immediately upon discovering any damage, and submit a claim. Ensure you have documented the  damage on the waybill receipt if possible.
2. Check compressor installation and wiring
3. Turn on electric power and turn pressure switch knob to “auto”. Compressor should start running and air pressure should build up in the air receiver as  evidenced by the air receiver pressure gauge. Make sure drain valve and outlet valve are closed.
4. When air receiver pressure reaches the pressure switch cut-out pressure, the compressor should stop automatically and you are now ready to start using the  compressed air. As air is used, the pressure in the air receiver will drop and cause the pressure switch to close and this will automatically start the compressor.
5. The compressor will cycle automatically until you are finished using compressed air and the pressure switch knob is switched to “off.

DO NOT LEAVE THE POWER TO ‘ THE COMPRESSOR OVERNIGHT OR CONNECTED WHEN UNIT IS UNATTENDED

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product must be connected to a grounded, metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment-grounding terminal or lead on the product.
