WARNING!

1. 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,
2. 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:

• No other electrical appliances or lights are connected to the same branch circuit.
• Voltage supply is normal.
•  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 must 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 to 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.

• Belt Vover
  Designed to protect pulley and belt.

• Handle and wheels
  Designed to move the compressor easily.
  WARNING!
  Never use the handle  on wheeled units to lift the unit completely off the ground.

• Reset switch
  Designed to protect to motor when the power circuit is too low, or compressor is overloading.
  CAUTION!
  If the compressor can not be started when it is connect with power, check the reset switch firstly.

• Drain Valve
  locate at bottom of the tank, used to exhaust water from tank. Make sure the pressure of tank is below 1 bar, open drain valve to exhaust water from tank. Then close it tightly. This action should be done every week.

• ADD OIL
  Air compressor oil is suggested to use. Keep the oil level higher than the red cycle or middle lever of oil glass (the oil level need to be checked and added every week).

• OIL Replacing
  Replace the oil every 6 months
  

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.

1. Turn regulator fully clockwise to open airflow.

2. Turn switch to OFF position and plug in power cord.

3. Turn switch to AUTO position and run unit for 30 minutes to run the pump parts without pressure.

4. Turn regulator knob fully counterclockwise. Compressor will build to maximum preset pressure and shut off.

5. Turn regulator knob clockwise to bleed off air. Compressor will restart at a preset pressure (about 6.0bar).

6. Turn regulator knob counterclockwise to shut off the air and turn switch to off position.

7. 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!

• Never 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.
• If the safety valve start operation automatically, shut up the motor and check the reason. Never use the compressor if safety valve operated.

REGULATOR
