When the pump is not in operation, the valve closes to retain air pressure inside the tank. An internal component.

Installation & Assembly

WARNING
The air compressor should be turned off and unplugged from the power source before any maintenance is performed as well as the air bled from the tank and the unit allowed time to cool. Personal injuries could occur from moving parts, electrical sources, compressed air or hot surfaces. The regulator assembly must be attached before use. Failure to assemble correctly could result in leaks and possible injury.
If unsure of assembly instructions or you experience diffi culty in the assembly please call your local service department for further instruction. To Install the Air Intake Filter
Remove the plastic plug from the compressor head. Remove the air intake fi lter from the poly bag and thread it onto the head of the compressor as shown.
CAUTION
Do not attempt to start the air compressor without fi rst adding oil to the crankcase. Serious damage can result unless fi lled with oil. The5 pump is shipped without oil from the factory.
Only use non-detergent oils since multi-viscosity motor oils leave carbon deposits on pump components, thus reducing performance and compressor life.
WARNING
Drain the tank to release all tank air pressure before removing the oil fi ll cap. Be sure the air vent in the oil fi ll cap (see fi gure to the right) is free from debris. If air vent is blocked, pressure can build in crankcase causing damage to the compressor and possible personal injury. Lubrication and Oil
Remove the oil fi ll cap by turning it counter-clockwise by hand. Fill the compressor pump with an air compressor oil such as SAE-30 non-detergent (API CG/CD Heavy
Duty) oil at slow intervals until the oil reaches the center of the red circle in the sight glass (see fi gure above). Use SAE-10 during extreme winter conditions. Location of the Air Compressor
The air compressor should always be located in a clean, dry, and well ventilated environment.
The unit should have at minimum, 12 inches of space on each side. The air fi lter intake should be free of any debris or obstructions. Check the air fi lter on a daily basis to be sure it is clean and in working order.
Grounding Instructions
This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. (See the fi gure below.)
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. Check with a qualified electrician or service personnel if these instructions are not completely understood or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly grounded. WARNING
Improper installation of the grounding plug will result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualifi ed electrician.
This product is for use on a circuit having a nominal rating of 120 volts and is factory-equipped with a specifi c electric cord and plug to permit connection to a proper electric circuit. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same confi guration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product. If the product must be reconnected for use on a different type of electric circuit,5 qualifi ed service personnel should make the reconnection.
Extension Cords
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. Cords must not exceed 25 feet and No. 12 AWG size must be used. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Break In Procedures
No break in procedure is required by the user. This product is factory tested to ensure proper operation and performance.

Daily Start-Up Procedures

1. Set the Auto-On/Off lever to the Off position.
2. Check the air compressor visually for any damage or obstruction.
3. Close the drain valve.
4. Check the oil level of the pump.
5. Connect the air hose to the quick connect socket on the regulator assembly by inserting the quick connect plug on the air hose into the quick connect socket. The quick connect socket collar will snap forward and lock the plug into place providing an air tight seal between the socket and plug. To release the air hose, push the collar back on the quick connect socket.
6. Plug the power cord into the proper receptacle.
7. Turn the Auto-On/Off lever to the On-Auto position, and the compressor will start and build air pressure in the tank to cut-out pressure and then shut off automatically.
8.  Adjust the regulator to a PSI setting that is needed for your application, and be sure it is within the safety standards required to perform the task. If using a pneumatic tool, the manufacturer should have recommendations in the manual for that particular tool on operating PSI settings.

Note: The air compressor is now ready for use.
The following infl ation and cleaning accessories packaged with this unit should only be operated at maximum pressure of 20-30 PSI: blow gun, tapered nozzle, inflation needles, blow gun adapter. Daily Shut-Down Procedures

1. Set the Auto-On/Off lever to the Off position.
2. Unplug the power cord from the receptacle.
3. Set the outlet pressure to zero on the regulator.
4.  Remove any air tools or accessories. When draining the tank, always use ear and eye protection. Drain the tank in a suitable location; condensation will be present in most cases of draining.
5.  Open the drain valve allowing air to bleed from the tank. After all of the air has bled from the tank, close the drain valve to prevent debris buildup in the valve.

CAUTION
When draining the tank, always use ear and eye protection. Drain the tank in a suitable location; condensation will be present in most cases of draining.
WARNING
Water that remains in the tank during storage will corrode and weaken the air tank which could cause the tank to rupture. To avoid serious injury, be sure to drain the tank after each use or daily.

Troubleshooting Guide

The air compressor should be turned off and unplugged from the power source before any maintenance is performed as well as the air bled from the tank and the unit allowed time to cool. Personal injuries could occur from moving parts, electrical sources, compressed air, or hot surfaces

check valve results in a constant air leak at the pressure relief valve when there is pressure in the tank and the compressor is shut off. Drain the tank, then remove and clean or replace the check valve.
Air leaks between head and cylinder.| Be sure of proper torque on head bolts. If leak remains, contact a service technician.
Air leak from safety valve.| Operate the safety valve manually by pulling on the ring. If the valve con- tinues to leak when in the closed position, it should be replaced.
Pressure reading on the regulated pressure gauge drops when an accessory is used.| If there is an excessive amount of pressure drop when the accessory is used, replace the regulator.
NOTE:
Adjust the regulated pressure under flow conditions (while accessory is being used). It is normal for the gauge to show minimal pressure loss during initial use of the tool.
Excessive tank pres- sure.| Move the Auto-On/Off lever to the Off position. If the unit doesnʼt shut off, unplug it from the power source and contact a service technician.
Motor will not start.| Make sure power cord is plugged in and the switch is on. Inspect for the proper size fuse in your circuit box. If the fuse was tripped, reset it and restart the unit. If repeated tripping occurs, replace the check valve or contact a service technician.
Make sure the Thermal Overload Switch has not tripped. The motor has a built in thermal cut out that trips when necessary to protect the motor from damage when overheated. To reset the motor overload toggle the pressure switch Auto/Off lever to the Off position and unplug the unit from the power outlet. Allow 10 minutes (minimum) for motor overload cut-out to cool and reset. Unit can then be plugged in and re-started.
Excessive moisture in the discharge air.| Remove the water in the tank by draining after each use. High humidity environments will cause excessive condensation. Utilize water filters on your air line.
NOTE:
Water condensation is not caused by compressor malfunction. Be sure the compressorʼs air output is greater than your toolʼs air consumption rate.
Air leaks from the tank body or tank welds.| Never drill into, weld or otherwise modify the air tank or it will weaken. The tank can rupture or explode. Compressor cannot be repaired. Dis- continue use of the air compressor.
