Portable Air Compressors
Description
Air compressor units are intended to provide compressed air to power pneumatic tools and operate spray guns. The pumps on these units 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 filter installed. The air compressor unit must be mounted 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.

Introduction
Refer to Figure 1 to locate the following items.
Pressure switch - 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. (See Figure 8.) When the pressure switch turns the motor off you will hear air leaking out of the Pressure Switch Unloader Valve for a short time. This releases the air pressure from the discharge tube and allows the compressor to restart easier.
Regulator - The regulator controls the amount of air pressure in the air hose. The air hose is attached at the outlet of the regulator.
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.
AWARNING
To avoid the risk of severe burns, never tube.
Check valve - One-way valve that allows air to enter the tank, but

LUBRICATION
ACAUTION
THIS UNIT IS SHIPPED WITHOUT
OIL! Follow lubrication instructions before operating compressor.
Ensure oil drain extension and cap has been installed (if included) then remove the dipstick breather (See Figure 6) and fill pump oil according to Chart 1.
OIL DRAIN EXTENSION
Some models include an oil drain extension and cap (found with the owner's manual). Install the oil drain extension and cap before adding oil to the pump. To avoid oil leaks, it is highly recommended to apply PTFE thread sealant tape or paste type sealant to the threads on each end of the oil drain extension. Screw the cap onto
one end of Assembly (Continued)
the extension. Remove the oil drain plug from the base of the pump and install the oil drain extension (See Figure 6).
See specification label on air tank for pump model number and refer to Chart 1 for the proper oil capacity. Use SAE 30 industrial grade air compressor oil or full synthetic motor oil like Mobil 1 10W-30.
Do not use regular automotive oil
such as 10W-30. Additives in regular motor oil can cause valve deposits and reduce pump life. For maximum pump life, drain and replace oil after the first hour of run time. Proper oil fill level is illustrated in Figure 6.

WIRING
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 your motor nameplate, and meet all electrical codes for this minimum. Use a slow blow fuse type T or a circuit breaker.
ACAUTION
Overheating, short circuiting and fire damage will result from inadequate wiring.

NOTE: 120 volt, 15 amp units can be operated on a 120 volt 15 amp 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 15 amp circuit breaker or a 15 amp slow blow fuse type T (For Canada use Type D).
If the above conditions cannot be met or if nuisance tripping of the current protection device occurs, it may be necessary to operate the compressor from a 120 volt 20 amp circuit. Some models convert to 240 volt operation, see DUAL VOLTAGE MOTOR.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
- This product must be grounded. In the event of an electric short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. Unit is equipped with a cord that has a grounding prong. It will fit one of the common outlet types shown in Figure 7. If plug will not fit in the desired outlet, have the plug or the outlet replaced by a qualified electrician.

text_image

DANGER
Improper use of grounding plug can result in a risk of electrical shock.

NOTE: Do not use grounding adapter.
- If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
- Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the plug provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
PLUGS AND RECEPTACLES
-
If the plug on the electrical cord of the unit is unfamiliar to you or will not fit your particular receptacle, Figure 7 will help you understand why by illustrating the different plugs and the voltages they are to be used with.
-
Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
- The receptacles must be connected to circuits rated to carry at least the voltage and amperages shown.
- NEVER have a receptacle replaced with one of a higher amperage before determining the change can be made according to all electrical codes affecting your particular area. The installation should be made by a qualified electrician. If the products must be reconnected for use on different types of circuits, the reconnection should be made by qualified personnel.
DUAL VOLTAGE MOTORS (SOME MODELS)
Dual voltage motors may be connected for either 120 volts or 240 volts. By comparing the plug on the cord with the receptacles shown in Figure 7, you can determine for which voltage your compressor is factory wired. Also check motor decal to change from low voltage to high voltage.
AWARNING All wiring must be performed by a qualified electrician.
To change connections for alternate voltage:
- Disconnect cord from power source
- Remove motor terminal cover.
- Find connection diagram on back side of the cover or on motor nameplate and reconnect to desired voltage as indicated on diagram.
WARNING If you do not understand this wiring diagram you must find a qualified electrician that does understand wiring diagrams.
- Change plug to match voltage and current requirements.
Assembly (Continued)
AWARNING
When converting to an alternate
voltage, be sure the green ground wire of the cord connects to the ground pin of the plug and to the metal body of the pressure switch.

-
After use, turn pressure switch lever or knob to the OFF position.
-
If compressor is not used for a long time period, bleed air from line and use drain valve to drain water from the tank. Then, follow the maintenance schedule.
NOTE: Electric models are equipped with a pressure switch that automatically 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.
Maintenance
AWARNING
Disconnect, tag and lock out power source, then release all pressure from the system before
attempting to install, service, relocate or perform any maintenance.
All repairs should be performed by an authorized service representative.

Perform the following test to verify free operation of the safety valve weekly and follow maintenance schedule below.
- Pull ring on safety valve and allow the ring to snap back to normal position (See Figure 9). This valve automatically releases air if the tank pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
ACAUTION A large amount of fast moving air will be release if the safety valve is actuated with air pressure in the tank.
ADANGER Do not attempt to tamper with this valve. This valve should be checked occasionally. If air leaks after the ring has been released, or the valve is stuck and cannot be actuated by the ring, the safety valve must be replaced.
- With motor OFF and unplugged, clean debris from motor, flywheel, tank, air lines and pump cooling fins.
Figure 9

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.

1/2" Deflection Figure 10DRIVE BELT
Belts will stretch in normal use. Properly adjusted, a 5-pound pressure applied to the belt between the motor pulley and the pump will deflect the belt about 1/2" (See Figure 10).
TO ADJUST DRIVE BELT:
- Remove belt guard.
- Loosen the four fasteners holding the motor to the baseplate.
- Shift the motor in the proper direction. The belt must be properly aligned when adjustment is made.
- Adjust flywheel or motor pulley so that the belt runs straight.
- If necessary, use a gear puller to move the pulley on the motor shaft. Tighten setscrew after pulley is positioned.
- Attach belt guard.
STORAGE
-
When not in use, hose and compressor should be stored in a cool dry place.
-
Tanks should be drained of moisture and hose should be disconnected and hung with open ends down to allow any moisture to drain.
- Protect the electrical cord from possible damage by winding the cord loosely around the handle of the unit or coiling the cord up.
