Fire Prevention
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION! During normal operation and use of this air
compressor, sparks can be produced by the electrical contacts within the motor
housing. If sparks come into contact with flammable liquids, vapors, gases, or
other combustible materials, a fire or explosion could erupt causing serious
injury, death, or property damage. ALWAYS store flammable liquids or other
combustible materials in a safe location away from the air compressor. ALWAYS
operate the compressor in well ventilated areas that are free of flammable
liquids, vapors, gases, or other combustible materials. If spraying flammable
materials using compressed air, ALWAYS locate the air compressor at least 25
feet (7,62m) away from the spray area.
This compressor is air cooled and has numerous ventilation ports. Covering any
of these ventilation ports could cause excessive heat to build up within the
compressor. This could cause a fire which may result in serious injury, death,
or property damage. NEVER cover any of the ventilation ports on the
compressor. NEVER place any object on top of, or leaning against, the
compressor during use. ALWAYS ensure the compressor has at least 12 inches of
open space on all sides during operation to ensure adequate air flow. This
compressor has two cooling fans within the compressor body. ALWAYS verify the
fans are mounted on their respective shafts, and free of damage or obstruction
before use. If the fan blades are damaged, or if the fan has come free of the
shaft, DO NOT use the air compressor.
Electric Shock
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK CAN KILL! This air compressor is powered by
electricity. Like all other electronic devices, if not used properly it may
cause electric shock. Electric shocks can vary in severity from minor pain or
tingling to unconsciousness, arc burns, cardiac arrest, and death. To avoid
the possibility of electric shock, NEVER attempt to use the air compressor in
a damp environment or outside while it is raining. NEVER attempt to use the
air compressor if any of the protective covers are not properly in place.
NEVER attempt to repair any electronic device without the proper training

Operation
The following procedure explains in detail how to operate your air compressor. These instructions are identical for both the 2.5CFM and 4.5CFM compressor units.
-
Choose a suitable location for your air compressor. The air compressor should be placed on a flat surface at ground level away from any and all flammable materials, liquids, vapors, or gases. If compressed air is needed above ground level (i.e. on a roof), use longer air hoses. DO NOT use your air compressor in a damp environment or outside while it is raining. The air compressor should have at least 12 inches of open space on all sides to allow for adequate cooling air flow. If spraying flammable materials, locate the compressor at least 25 feet away from the spray area.
-
Plug in your air compressor. Your compressor should be plugged into a standard 110-120 Volt wall outlet on an independent 15-20 Amp circuit leg that is properly grounded. DO NOT remove the ground pin from the electrical plug on the compressor.
- If using an extension cord:
- The extension cord must have a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the air compressor plug.
- The extension cord should be no longer than 25 feet. Using an extension cord that is longer than 25 feet will cause a voltage drop at the compressor and will limit compressor performance.
- The extension cord should be at least 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. Note, wire sizes increase as the gauge number decreases. DO NOT USE 14, 16, or 18 AWG EXTENSION CORDS.
-
Use appropriate safety equipment. ALWAYS use the following safety equipment when operating your air compressor:
- Respirator that is in accordance with ANSI Z88.2.
- Hearing protection that is in accordance with ANSI S12.6 (S3.19).
- Eye protection that is in accordance with ANSI Z87.1.
-
Ensure that the air tank drain valve is closed. Locate the air tank drain valve on the bottom of the air tank. Ensure that it is fully closed by turning it clockwise until it comes to a stop.
-
Turn on your air compressor. Locate the On/Off switch and rotate the switch lever from “Off” to “Auto”. The compressor should kick on and the tank should start filling with compressed air. Once the tank pressure reaches 125 PSI, the compressor should turn off automatically. The compressor will automatically refill the tank when the tank pressure reaches approximately 90 PSI.
-
Connect air hoses. Your compressor is equipped with quarter inch (1/4”) universal quick connect air couplers. To attach the air hose, slide back the collar on the quick connect port, insert the male end of the air hose into the quick connect port, and release the collar.
-
Adjust the output pressure. Before making any adjustments, ensure the tank is fully pressurized and
the compressor has stopped. Turning the knob clockwise will increase the output pressure and turning it counterclockwise will decrease the output pressure. -
Turn off the air compressor. When finished using the air compressor, turn it off by rotating the On/Off switch lever from the “Auto” position to the “Off” position.
-
Drain the air tank. The air tank must be drained after each use. Locate the air tank drain valve and open it slowly by turning the valve head counterclockwise. Once air starts hissing out of the tank, continue to rotate the valve head counterclockwise by approximately half of a turn. It is normal for water to spray out of the tank during this process. Once completed, close the air tank valve.
-
Storage. Store the air compressor in a clean, dry, non-freezing environment at ground level. DO NOT store the compressor on a table, workbench, shelf, etc. to avoid injury or property damage.
Motor Overload Protection
Your new air compressor is equipped with automatic thermal overload
protection. If the compressor motor overheats for any reason, it will
automatically shut down.
If your air compressor enters thermal protection mode, the motor must be
allowed to cool for at least one hour. DO NOT attempt to use the air
compressor during this cooling period.
Disconnecting Air Hoses
When finished using your air compressor, disconnect air hoses from the control manifold using the following steps:
- Ensure that the air tank is completely empty. The air tank pressure gauge must read 0 PSI.
- Slide back the quick connect collar on the air compressor to release the air hose.
Compressor Break-In Procedure
Before the first use of your air compressor (or if any major compressor components have been recently replaced), please follow the following break-in procedure to ensure optimum performance:
- After verifying the air compressor is unplugged and powered off, open the air tank drain valve by rotating the valve head counterclockwise.
- Plug the air compressor into an appropriate 110-120V wall outlet.
- Rotate the On/Off switch lever from the “Off” position to the “Auto” position. The compressor will start up automatically.
- Allow the air compressor to run continuously for 20 minutes.
- Rotate the On/Off switch lever from the “Auto” position to the “Off” position.
- Unplug the air compressor.
- Close the air tank drain valve by rotating the valve head clockwise until it comes to a stop.
