GETTING TO KNOW YOUR COMPRESSOR

PSI (Pounds per Square Inch) - Measurement of the pressure exerted by the force of the air. The actual psi output is measured by a pressure gauge on the compressor.
SCFM (Standard Cubic Feet per Minute) - Sometimes called CFM (Cubic Feet per Minute). Measurement of air volume delivered by the compressor.
Air Delivery - A combination of psi and SCFM. The air delivery required by a tool is stated as (number) SCFM at (number) psi. The combination of these figures determines what size unit is needed.
Air Tank Capacity - The volume of air stored in the tank and available for immediate use. A large tank allows the intermittent use of an air tool with an air requirement higher than the compressor's rated delivery.
Amps or Amperage - A measure of the electrical force minus the resistance on an electrical line. This air compressor requires 15 amps for operation. Be sure the compressor will operate on an electrical line with the proper amps. If other appliances operate on the same line, they will reduce the available amps. If the amperage is not adequate, the result will be blown fuses or tripped circuits.
Volts or Voltage - A measurement of the force of an electrical current.
Cut-in/Cut-off Pressure - Specific psi at which a compressor starts and stops while refilling the air tank.
Pressure Switch - Auto On/Off Switch - In the "Auto On" position, the compressor shuts off automatically when tank pressure reaches the maximum preset pressure. After air is used from the tank and drops to a preset low level, the pressure switch automatically turns the motor back on. 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. (Figure 2)
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.

Figure 2
GETTING TO KNOW YOUR COMPRESSOR (CONTINUED)
Regulator - The regulator controls the amount of air pressure at the hose outlet. Turning regulator knob clockwise (to the right) will increase air pressure at the outlet. Turning knob counterclockwise (to the left) will lower air pressure to the outlet. Turning knob fully counterclockwise will shut off flow of air completely.
Handle - Designed to move the compressor.
ASME Safety Valve - This valve automatically releases air if the tank pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
Exhaust 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 exhaust 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.
Air Outlet - A quick connect coupler designed to work in combination with a quick connect plug to quickly and easily join the compressor to an air hose.
Pressure Gauges - These gauges will show air pressure in the compressor tank and at the compressor outlet.
Outlet Pressure Gauge - Will show air pressure at the outlet in pounds per square inch (psi). Make sure this gauge reads ZERO (by adjusting regulator knob fully counterclockwise) before changing air tools or disconnecting air hose from outlet.
Tank Pressure Gauge - Will show air pressure in tank while the compressor is running, indicating compressor is building pressure properly. This gauge will show maximum pressure of compressor when it shuts off automatically at the pressure switch.
Drain Valve - This valve is located underneath the tank. Use this valve to drain moisture from the tank daily to reduce the risk of corrosion.
CAUTION
Drain liquid from tank daily.
Reduce tank pressure below 10 psi, then drain moisture from tank daily to avoid tank corrosion. Drain moisture from tank by opening the drain valve located underneath the tank.

General Electrical Connections
WAWARNING electric shock. Use GFCI. Use indoors only. Disconnect all connections before servicing. Use identical replacement parts. Servicing must be performed by a licensed, qualified
electrician.
In the event of a malfunction or breakdown, grounding provides a path of least resistance for electrical current to reduce the risk of electric shock. This compressor is equipped with an electric cord having an equipment-grounding conductor and a grounding plug, as shown. The plug must be plugged into a matching outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-grounding conductor. If repair or replacement of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a live terminal.
If the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if you are in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded check with a qualified electrician or service personnel.
Grounding Instructions
- This product is for use on a nominal 120 v circuit. It 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 3. If plug will not fit in the desired outlet, have the plug or the outlet replaced by a qualified electrician.

Figure 3 - Grounding Method
WAWARNed electric shock. Improper use of grounding plug can result in a risk of electrical shock. Plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with local codes and ordinances
NOTICE
NOTICE: Do not use grounding adapter.
- Always 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.
- Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that accepts the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is not damaged. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product draws. For lengths less than 25ft. 16-3 AWG extension cords shall be used. An undersized cord results in a drop in the voltage and loss of power and overheating. (NOTICE: Table 1 shows the correct size to use depending on cord length. When in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.)
- Use of an extension cord may cause excess heat to motor. This could lead to tripped breaker (at electrical panel) or tripped thermal overload (on compressor motor). If this occurs, eliminate extension cord and plug compressor directly into electrical outlet. Avoid using extension cords; use longer air hose(s) instead.
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.
