and precautions can cause you and others to be seriously hurt or killed. Save
this manual for future reference.
Introduction
This air compressor features a compact structure, stable performance, a high
airflow rate, easy operation and maintenance. Because the air compressor
produces no oil in the airflow, it can be used as an independent air
supplymachine for situations in which oil in the airflow is an issue.
The motor directly drives the pistons and is able to function without lubrication for a long period of time.
Assembly
- Connect your air supply hose to a 1/4 male industrial quick connect coupler. Connect the male quick connect coupler to thefemale quick connect coupler located on the air compressor
- Make sure the drainage valve is off and that the pressure switch is in the OFF position.
- Ensure that the power supply you are going to use is operating normally. 110 Volts 60 Hertz 15 amp Outlet.
- Insert the power supply cord into the power supply socket.
Test Run
Before using the air compressor for the first time, complete a test run as follows:
- Turn the power switch to the OFF position. Plug the power supply cord into a power supply socket. Start the air compressor by turning the power switch to the ON position. The pressure gauge reading will slowly rise as pressure increases inside the air tank. When the Tank Pressure Gauge reading reaches 125 PSI (+/- 5 PSI), the pressure switch will automatically turn the power off. This indicates the compressor is working normally.
- Turn the power switch to the Off position, unplug the power supply cord and release the air in the air tank by opening the Manual Drain Valve at the bottom of the tank. Proceed to the next step (Daily Operation).
Note : If the Air Compressor is not working properly, the pressure gauge
will indicate that there is a decrease in pressure in the air tank. If there
is an air leak from the compressor the pressure in the air tank decreases, the
pressure switch resets and the motor automatically turns back on.
If you detect an air leakage, turn the power switch to theOff position,
release the air from the tank by opening Manual Drain Valve. Unplug the power
supply cord and contact Customer Support for Assistance.
WARNING

Shutting down the compressor:
- Turn the power switch to the OFF position.
- Unplug the power supply cord.
- Remove the pressure and water in the air tank through the drain valve.
MAINTENANCE
Draining the Air Tank
The frequency at which you should drain the air tank depends on the
environmental conditions and the amount of operating time logged. With regular
compressor use the average draining frequency is every 1 to 2 days.
- Place the air compressor above a container capable of holding water.
- With compressed air in the air tank, slowly turn the drain valve knob to the forward (open) or straight position. The water in the air tank will drain out.
- After all of the accumulated water has drained out, turn the drain valve knob to the closed or left position in order to avoid leakage.
- Draining the air tank protects parts from rust and corrosion.
Cleaning or Changing the Air Filter
The air filter is designed to reduce noise and help prevent particulates in
the air from entering and damaging the air compressor. After being used for a
period of time, the air filter will become clogged. This will reduce the air
intake capabilities of the air compressor, reducing performance. Therefore,
the air filter must be cleaned or replaced regularly.
- Open the lid on the air filter, then remove the air filter element.
- To clean the element blow off or brush off the dirt and dust.
- If clogged, replace with a new air filter.
Testing for Leaks
- Make sure all connections are tight. Do not overtighten.
- A small leak in any hose or pipe connection will reduce the air compressor’s performance.
- To test for small leaks, spray a small amount of soapy water on the area suspected of leaking. If the soap bubbles, replace the broken part.
Cleaning
- Clean items with a soft brush, or wipe with a moistened cloth using a biodegradable solvent.
- Do not use flammable liquids such as gasoline or alcohol. Always keep parts clean from dirt and dust for better performance.
Pressure Switch
The pressure switch is factory pre-set to shut off at approximately 125 PSI,
as read on the TANK PRESSURE GAUGE (+/- 5 PSI) and to re-start at 90-95 PSI
(+/- 5 PSI).
STORAGE
Before storing for a prolonged period of time:
- Turn off the power supply.
- Disconnect the power cord from the power supply and wrap the power cord around the air compressor handle to reduce the risk of damage.
- Pull the relief valve and release all the pressure from the air tank.
- Clean the air compressor to remove all dirt and dust.
- Cover the air compressor with a cover to protect the unit from dust and moisture.
- Do not stack or store any items on top of or around the air compressor. Damage could occur.
