OPERATION

• To avoid overheating of the electric motor, this compressor is designed for intermittent operation as indicated on the technical data plate (for example, S3 25 % means 2.5 minutes ON, 7.5 minutes OFF). In the case of overheating, the thermal cutout of the motor trips automatically cuts off the power when the temperature is too high. The motor restarts automatically when normal temperature conditions are restored.
• When the compressor is plugged into an electrical source and the I/O switch is in the “ON” position, this compressor will cycle automatically.
  • Never touch any moving parts.
  • Keep all body parts, hair, clothing, and jewellery away from moving parts.
  • Never operate the air compressor without all guards and shrouds in place.
  • Never stand on the compressor.
• The compressor is fitted with a safety valve that is tripped in the case of malfunctioning of the pressure switch to assure machine safety.
• The red notch on the pressure gauge refers to the maximum operating pressure of the tank. It does not refer to the adjusted pressure.
• When fitting a tool, the flow of air in the output must be switched off.
• When using compressed air, you must know and comply with the safety precautions to be adopted for each type of application (inflation, pneumatic tools, painting, washing with water-based detergents only, etc.).
• Never exceed the maximum allowable pressure recommended by the manufacturer of any attachment or accessory you use with this compressor.
• Please check that the air consumption and the maximum working pressure of the pneumatic tool and connection pipes (with the compressor) to be used, are compatible with the pressure set on the pressure regulator and with the amount of air supplied by the compressor.
• The compressor’s performance is guaranteed for operation between 0 and 1000 meters above sea level.

FEATURES

FEATURES (Pic. 1)

• A. I/O Switch: The I/O switch is the activation mechanism that is used to start and stop the compressor. When the switch is “On”, the motor and pump will compress air until tank pressure reaches the upper limit of the factory-set operating pressure. When tank pressure falls below the factory set “cut in” pressure, the compressor will again automatically start to compress air.
• B. Regulated Pressure Gauge: The regulated pressure gauge indicates the amount of pressure that is allowed into the discharge line according to the setting of the regulator.
• C. Regulator Knob: The regulator knob is used to adjust the air pressure that is available at the discharge line. The discharge air pressure is increased by turning the knob clockwise and decreased by turning the knob counterclockwise.
• D. Drain Valve: Ball-style valve that drains moisture from the tank when opened.
• E. Quick Coupler: The quick coupler is used to connect the airline to your tool.
• F. Safety valve: The safety valve is set to avoid over-pressurization of the air tanks. This valve is factory pre-set and will not function unless tank pressure reaches this pressure. Do not attempt to adjust or eliminate this safety device. Any adjustments to this valve could cause serious injury. If this device requires service or maintenance, see an Authorized Service Center.
• G. Handle for lifting/moving.
• H. Rubber foot.
• I. Intake air filter.
