Disconnect, tag and lock out power source then release all pressure from the system before attempting to install, service, relocate or perform any maintenance.
No CAUTIONe
unit without appropriately rated equipment. Be sure the unit is securely attached to lifting device used. Do not lift unit by holding onto tubes or coolers. Do not use unit equipment.
CAUTION
Never use the wood shipping skids for mounting the compressor.
Picking the Location
Install and operate unit at least 18 inches from any obstructions in a clean, well ventilated area. The surrounding air temperature should not exceed 100^ F. This will ensure an unobstructed flow of air to cool compressor and allow adequate space for maintenance.
Dr CAUTION compressor air inlet near steam, paint spray, sandblast areas or any other source of contamination.
NOTE: If compressor operates in a hot, moist environment, supply compressor pump with clean, dry outside air. Supply air should be piped in from external sources.
Tank Mounting
The tank should be bolted into a flat, even, concrete floor or on a separate concrete foundation. Vibration isolators should be used between the tank leg and the floor. Model MP345700AJ isolator pads are recommended for installation.
When using isolator pads, do not draw bolts tight. Allow the pads to absorb vibrations. When isolators are used, a flexible hose or coupling should be installed between the tank and service piping.
FairWARNING install the tank can lead to cracks at the welded joints and possible bursting.
Piping
WARNING (PVC) pipe for compressed air. Serious injury or death could result.
Any tube, pipe or hose connected to the unit must be able to withstand the temperature generated and retain the pressure. All pressurized components of the air system must have a pressure rating of 200 psi or higher. Incorrect selection and installation of any tube, pipe or hose could result in bursting and injury. Connect piping system to tank using the same size fitting as the discharge port.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Installing A Shut-Off Valve

natural_image
Close-up of a black cylindrical object with a metallic valve attached, no visible text or symbols.Figure 4 - Shut-off Valve
A shut-off valve should be installed on the discharge port of the tank to control the air flow out of the tank. The valve should be located between the tank and the piping system.
WARNING
Never install a shut-off valve between the compressor pump and the tank. Personal injury and/or equipment damage may occur.
Never use reducers in discharge piping.
When creating a permanently installed system to distribute compressed air, find the total length of the system and select pipe size from the chart on page 7. Bury underground lines below the frost line and avoid pockets where condensation can gather and freeze.
Apply air pressure to the piping installation and make sure all joints are free from leaks BEFORE underground lines are covered. Before putting the compressor into service, find and repair all leaks in the piping, fittings and connections.
Wiring
All WARNING
rical connections must be performed by a qualified electrician familiar with induction motor controls. Installations must be in accordance with local and
national codes.
WARNING
Overheating, short circuiting and fire damage will result from inadequate wiring.
Wiring must be installed in accordance with National Electrical Code and local codes and standards that have been set up covering electrical apparatus and wiring. These should be consulted and local ordinances observed. Be certain that adequate wire sizes are used, and that:
- Service is of adequate ampere rating.
- The supply line has the same electrical characteristics (voltage, cycles and phase) as the motor. Refer to motor name plate for electrical ratings and specifications.
- The line wire is the proper size and that no other equipment is operated from the same line. The chart gives minimum recommended wire sizes for compressor installations.
Minimum Wire Size (Use 75°C Copper Wire)
Make sure voltage is correct with the motor wiring.
NOTE: If using 208 volts single phase, make sure the motor name plate states it is rated for 208 volts single phase. 230 volt single phase motors do not work on 208 volts unless they have the 208 volt rating.
Single Phase
HP Amps 230V
1-4 HP up to 22.0 10 AWG
5.0 8 AWG
Recommended wire sizes may be larger than the minimum set up by local ordinances. If so, the larger size wire should be used to prevent excessive line voltage drop. The additional wire cost is very small compared with the cost of repairing or replacing a motor electrically "starved" by the use of supply wires which are too small.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)

Grounding
A WARNING improved electrical components are shock hazards. Make sure all the components are properly grounded to prevent death or serious injury.
This product must be grounded. Grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current if short circuit occurs. This product must be installed and operated with a power cord or cable that has a grounding wire.
Breakers and Fuses
The entire electrical system should be checked by a certified electrician. Time delay breakers and fuses are required for this compressor. A tripped breaker or blown fuses may indicate a direct short to ground, high current draw, improper wiring, incorrect fuse or breaker size and/or type. This needs to be evaluated by a certified electrician.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Installing Air Inlet Filter
Screw supplied air inlet filter into inlet port of cast iron pump as indicated in Figure 6.
Lubrication
This caution no oil. Before operating compressor, fill to the center of the sight gauge (see Figure 6).
Using the type of oil may shorten pump life and damage valves.
Recommended Oil (2 Options)
| Single viscosity SAE 30 ISO100 nondetergent compressor oil. Part number ST125303AV (0.5 qt) or ST126701AV (4 qt). |
| 10W30 synthetic oil such as Mobil 1 ^® or CE0032 (1 qt). |
| Oil Capacity |
| Approximately 8.5 oz. |
Fill the pump with oil to the center of the sight gauge using oil fill opening (see Figure 6). Do NOT fill the pump through the breather cap opening as this may cause oil to leak and spray out during operation.
NOTE: Some residual oil may still be in the pump from factory testing leaving a thin coat on the sight gauge; however, there is not enough oil to operate the unit.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Important: Check motor rotation before operating the compressor.
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 appropriate water/oil removal equipment may result in damage to machinery or workpiece.
Guarding
The belt warning provided must be installed before operating the unit.
All moving parts must be guarded. All electrical covers must be installed before turning on the power.

Inlet Port Oil Fill Area Oil Drain Plug Full Low Sight GaugeFigure 6 - Lubrication
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Recommended Break-In Period
The compressor should be run continuously at 90 PSI or lower for one hour to allow proper seating of the piston rings.
- Open drain cock completely and run the compressor for 60 minutes.
- Turn off the compressor and close drain cock. The compressor is now ready for use.
If the compressor is run under humid conditions for short periods of time, the humidity will condense in the crankcase and cause the oil to look creamy. Oil contaminated by condensed water will not provide adequate lubrication and must be changed immediately. Using contaminated oil will damage bearings, pistons, cylinders and rings and is not covered under warranty. To avoid water condensation in the oil, periodically run the compressor with tank pressure near 120 psi for single stage compressors by opening the drain valve or an air valve connected to the tank or hose. Run the pump for an hour at a time at least once a week or more often if the condensation reoccurs.
IMPORTANT: Change oil after first 50 hours of operation and every 200 hours afterwards.

Unloader (behind pressure switch) Safety ReliefFigure 7 - Pressure Switch
Pressure Switch, Start - Stop
NOTE: Single stage compressors have a maximum operating pressure of 135 psi. Do not alter pressure settings on control components above this limit.
The compressor unit starts and stops based on preset pressure switch settings of 105 psi cut-in and 135 psi cut-out. The pressure switch contains an unloader which is a small valve that vents air to allow the motor to start easily (see Figure 7).
The unloader valve on the pressure switch should hiss for a short period of time when the compressor shuts off. This relieves the head and the exhaust tubing of any pressure and allows the compressor to start under no load. Because compressors have high starting torque the unloader is necessary for proper starting of the compressor.
The check valve is a one way valve that keeps the air in the tank when the unit shuts off. The easiest way to determine if the check valve is working properly is to make sure that the pressure switch unloader quits hissing after the compressor shuts off. The hissing should last for several seconds and then quit.
Crankcase Breather
During severe operating conditions or initial start-up, some oil may accumulate at the crankcase breather opening. This is normal and will diminish as the pump accumulates run time and the piston rings become fully seated.
Draining Tank
Condensate must be drained from the tank daily, use manual tank drain (see Figure 8).

MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING
Disconnect, tag and lock out power source then release all pressure from the system before attempting to install, service, relocate or perform any maintenance.
In order to maintain efficient operation of the compressor system, check the air filter and oil level before each use. The ASME safety valve should also be checked daily (see Figure 9). Pull ring on safety valve and allow the ring to snap back to normal position. This valve automatically releases air if the tank pressure exceeds the preset maximum. If air leaks after the ring has been released, or the valve is stuck and cannot be actuated by the ring, the ASME safety valve must be replaced.

WARNING
Do not tamper with the ASME safety valve.
Tank
WARNING
pair or modify a tank! Welding, drilling or any other modification will weaken the tank resulting in damage from rupture or explosion. Always replace worn, cracked
or damaged tanks.
NOTICE
Drain liquid from tank daily.
The tank should be carefully inspected at a minimum of once a year. Look for cracks forming near the welds. If a crack is detected, remove pressure from tank immediately and replace.
Compressor Lubrication
See Installation. Add oil as required. The oil should be changed every three months or after every 200 hours of operation; whichever comes first.
If the compressor is run under humid conditions for short periods of time, the humidity will condense in the crankcase and cause the oil to look creamy. Oil contaminated by condensed water will not provide adequate lubrication and must be changed immediately. Using contaminated oil will damage bearings, pistons, cylinders and rings and is not covered under warranty. To avoid water condensation in the oil, periodically run the compressor with tank pressure near 120 psi for single stage compressors by opening the drain cock or an air valve connected to the tank or hose. Run the pump for an hour at a time at least once a week or more often if the condensation reoccurs.
IMPORTANT: Change oil after first 50 hours of operation.
Air Filter
Never run the compressor pump without an intake air filter or with a clogged intake air filter. The air filter element should be checked monthly (see Figure 10). Operating compressor with a dirty filter can cause high oil consumption and increase oil contamination in the discharge air. If the air filter is dirty it must be replaced.

Components
Turn off all power and clean the cylinder head, motor, fan blades, air lines, aftercooler and tank on a monthly basis.
MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Belts
WARNING the power then release all pressure from the tank to prevent unexpected movement of the unit.
Check belt tension every 3 months. Adjust belt tension to allow 3/8 inch to 1/2 inch deflection with normal thumb pressure. Also, align belts using a straight edge against the face of the flywheel and touching the rim on both sides of the face. The belts should be parallel to this straight edge (see Figure 11). Dimension A should be the same as B and C to ensure proper alignment of the belts.
Slots in the bed-plate allow for sliding the motor back and forth to adjust belt tension.
