WARNING: RISK OF BURSTING

Air Tank: On February 26, 2002, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission published Release # 02-108 concerning air compressor tank safety:

Air compressor receiver tanks do not have an infinite life. Tank life is dependent upon several factors, some of which include operating conditions, ambient conditions, proper installations, field modifications, and the level of maintenance. The exact effect of these factors on air receiver life is difficult to predict.

If proper maintenance procedures are not followed, internal corrosion to the inner wall of the air receiver tank can cause the air tank to unexpectedly rupture allowing pressurized air to suddenly and forcefully escape, posing risk of injury to consumers.

Your compressor air tank must be removed from service by the end of the year shown on your tank warning label.

The following conditions could lead to a weakening of the air tank, and result in a violent air tank explosion:

WHAT CAN HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT

- Failure to properly drain condensed water from air tank, causing rust and thinning of the steel air tank.

- Drain air tank daily or after each use. If air tank develops a leak, replace it immediately with a new air tank or replace the entire compressor.

Modifications or attempted repairs to the air tank.	Never drill into, weld, or make any modifications to the air tank or its attachments. Never attempt to repair a damaged or leaking air tank. Replace with a new air tank.
Unauthorized modifications to the safety valve or any other components which control air tank pressure.	The air tank is designed to withstand specific operating pressures. Never make adjustments or parts substitutions to alter the factory set operating pressures.

ATTACHMENTS & ACCESSORIES:

Exceeding the pressure rating of air tools, spray guns, air operated accessories, tires, and other inflatables can cause them to explode or fly apart, and could result in serious injury.

Follow the equipment manufacturers recommendation and never exceed the maximum allowable pressure rating of attachments. Never use compressor to inflate small low pressure objects such as children's toys, footballs, basketballs, etc.

TIRES:

• Over inflation of tires could result in serious injury and property damage.

- Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tires pressure before each use and while inflating tires; see the tire sidewall for the correct tire pressure.

NOTE: Air tanks, compressors and similar equipment used to inflate tires can fill small tires very rapidly. Adjust pressure regulator on air supply to no more than the rating of the tire pressure. Add air in small increments and frequently use the tire gauge to prevent over inflation.

READ THIS OWNER'S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustrations with your unit to familiarize yourself with the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future reference.

ON(I)/OFF(O) SWITCH

Place this switch (A) in the ON (I) position to provide automatic power to the pressure switch and OFF (O) to remove power at the end of each use.

PRESSURE SWITCH (NOT SHOWN)

The pressure switch automatically starts the motor when the air tank pressure drops below the factory set "cut-in" pressure. It stops the motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory set "cut-out" pressure.

SAFETY VALVE

If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its "cut-out" pressure setting, the safety valve (F) will protect against high pressure by "popping out" at its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch "cut-out" setting).

CHECK VALVE (NOT SHOWN)

When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is "open", allowing compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches "cut-out" pressure, the check valve "closes", allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank.

TANK PRESSURE GAUGE

The tank pressure gauge (B) indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank.

REGULATED PRESSURE GAUGE

The regulated pressure gauge (C) indicates the air pressure available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the regulator.

REGULATOR

The regulator (D) controls the air pressure shown on the outlet pressure gauge. Turn regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease pressure.

QUICK CONNECT BODIES

The quick connect body (E) accepts industrial quick connect plugs. The two quick connect bodies allow the use of two tools at the same time.

DRAIN VALVE

The drain valve (G) is located at the base of the air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of each use. See Draining Air Tank under Maintenance.

COOLING SYSTEM (NOT SHOWN)

This compressor contains an advanced design cooling system. At the heart of this cooling system is an engineered fan. It is perfectly normal for this fan to blow air through the vent holes in large amounts. You know that the cooling system is working when air is being expelled.

AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP (NOT SHOWN)

The pump compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not available until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that required at the air outlet.

MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTOR (NOT SHOWN)

The motor has a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting. To restart:

1. Set the On/Off switch (A) to OFF and unplug unit.
2. Allow the motor to cool.
3. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
4. Set the On/Off switch to ON position.
