Contractor Air Compressors

Description

Air compressor units are intended to provide compressed air to power pneumatic tools and operate spray guns. The pumps supplied are oil lubricated. A small amount of oil carryover is present in the compressed air stream. Applications requiring air free of oil or water should have the appropriate coalescing filter installed. The air compressor unit must be placed on a solid floor or solid ground. Any other use of these units will void the warranty and the manufacturer will not be responsible for problems or damages resulting from such misuse.

All models are equipped with cast-iron pumps. Gas engine models are equipped with an air governor for automatic idle down when the tanks reach a preset pressure. Model VT6131 is driven by a dual capacitor, 3450 RPM, 60 Hz, 120/240 dual-voltage motor with manual reset thermal protection. Honda engine models have a low-oil level shutdown.

Compressors include factory-mounted belt guards, ductile iron crankshafts, fly-wheels and ball bearings on crankshaft.

Operation

Pressure switch (Electric Models only) - Auto/Off Switch - In the "auto" position, the compressor shuts off automatically when tank pressure reaches the maximum preset pressure. In the "off" position, the compressor will not operate. This switch should be in the "off" position when connecting or disconnecting the power cord from the electrical outlet or when changing air tools.

Regulator - A regulator controls the amount of air pressure released at the hose outlet.

ASME Safety Valve - This valve automatically releases air if the tank pressure exceeds the preset maximum.

Discharge tube - This tube carries compressed air from the pump to the check valve. This tube becomes very hot during use. To avoid the risk of severe burns, never touch the discharge tube.

Check valve - One-way valve that allows air to enter the tank, but prevents air in the tank from flowing back into the compressor pump.

Handle - Designed to move the compressor.

AWARNING

Never use the handle to lift the the ground.

Belt Guard - Covers the belt, motor pulley and flywheel.

Drain Petcock - This valve is located on the bottom of the tank. Use this valve to drain moisture from the tank daily to reduce the risk of corrosion.

Reduce tank pressure below 10 PSI, then drain moisture from tank daily to avoid tank corrosion. Drain moisture from tank(s) by opening the drain petcocks located underneath each tank section.

NOTICE

Before starting the compressor, thor-

oughly read all component instruction manuals, especially the engine manual.

All lubricated compressor pumps discharge some condensed water and oil with the compressed air. Install appropriate water/oil removal equipment and controls as necessary for the intended application.

NOTICE

Failure to install appropriate

water/oil removal equipment may result in damage to machinery or workpiece.

NOTICE

Drain liquid from tank daily.

MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR

Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets as it comes from an air compressor pump. When humidity is high or when a compressor is in continuous use for an extended period of time, this moisture will collect in the tank. When using a paint spray or sandblast gun, this water will be carried from the tank through the hose, and out of the gun as droplets 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 cake and clog the gun, rendering it ineffective.

A filter or air dryer in the air line, located as near to the gun as possible, will help eliminate moisture.

ly turns the motor OFF when the tank pressure reaches a preset level. After air is used from the tank and drops to a preset low level, the pressure switch automatically turns the motor back on.
