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.

- Modifications or attempted repairs to the air tank.

- Unauthorized modifications to the safety valve, or any other components which control air tank pressure.

- 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.

- 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.

- The air tank is designed to withstand specific operating pressures. Never make adjustments or parts substitutions to alter the factory set operating pressures.

⚠waRnIng

1. Drain the moisture from the tank on a daily basis. A clean, dry tank will help prevent corrosion.
2. Pull the pressure relief valve ring daily to ensure that the valve is functioning properly, and to clear the valve of any possible obstructions.
3. To provide proper ventilation for cooling, the compressor must be kept a minimum of 12 inches (31 cm) from the nearest wall, in a well-ventilated area.
4. To prevent damage to tank and compressor on stationary models, the tank must be shimmed so the pump base is level within 1/8" to distribute oil properly. All feet must be supported, shimming where necessary, prior to attaching to the floor. Fasten all feet to floor. We also recommend the use of vibration pads (094-0137) under tank feet.

5. Fasten the compressor down securely if transporting is necessary. Pressure must be released from the tank before transporting.

6. Protect the air hose from damage and puncture. Inspect them weekly for weak or worn spots, and replace if necessary.

7. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not expose to rain. Store indoors.

BASIC AIR COMPRESSOR COMPONENTS

The basic components of the air compressor are the electric motor, pump, pressure switch and tank (see Fig. 1).

The electric motor (see A) powers the pump. The electric motor is equipped with an overload protector to help prevent possible motor burnout. If the motor becomes overheated, the overload protector will shut it down. Should this occur, allow the motor to cool for 10-15 minutes, then press (never force) the motor reset switch to restart the motor.

The pump (see B) compresses the air and discharges it into the tank.

The tank (see C) stores the compressed air.

The pressure switch (see D) shuts down the motor and relieves air pressure in the pump and transfer tube when the air pressure in the tank reaches the kick-out pressure. As compressed air is used and the pressure level in the tank drops to the kick-in pressure, the pressure switch restarts the motor automatically, without warning and the pump resumes compressing air.

The air line outlet (see E). Connect 1/4" NPT air hose to this outlet.

Fig. 1

ASSEMBLY

1. Unpack the air compressor. Inspect the unit for damage. If the unit has been damaged in transit, contact the carrier and complete a damage claim. Do this immediately because there are time limitations to damage claims.

The carton should contain:

• air compressor
  • operator/parts manual

• Check the compressor's serial label to ensure that you have received the model ordered, and that it has the required pressure rating for its intended use.

• Locate the compressor according to the following guidelines:

a. Position the compressor near a grounded electrical outlet (see GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS). Avoid using an extension cord; use a longer hose instead.
b. The flywheel side of the compressor must be at least 12 inches (31 cm) from any wall or obstruction, in a clean, well-ventilated area, to ensure sufficient air flow and cooling.
c. In cold climates, store portable compressors in a heated building when not in use. This will reduce problems with lubrication, motor starting and freezing of water condensation.
d. The compressor must be level to ensure proper lubrication of the pump and good drainage of the moisture in the tank.

1. Connect an air hose (not included) to the manifold outlet.

COMPRESSOR CONTROLS

Refer to Fig. 3.

PRESSURE switch (see A)

This switch turns on the compressor. It is operated manually, but when in the ON position, it allows the compressor to start up or shut down automatically, without warning, upon air demand. ALWAYS set this switch to OFF when the compressor is not being used, and before unplugging the compressor.

Pressure Relief Valve (see B)

If the pressure switch does not shut down the motor when pressure reaches the preset level, this valve will pop open automatically to prevent over pressurization. To operate manually, pull the ring on the valve to relieve air pressure in the tank.

Tank Pressure Gauge (see C)

This gauge measures the pressure level of the air stored in the tank. It is not adjustable by the operator, and does not indicate line pressure.

Air Pressure Regulator (see D)

This air pressure regulator enables you to adjust line pressure to the tool you are using.

WARNING

Never exceed the maximum working pressure of the tool.

Turn the knob clockwise to increase pressure, and counterclockwise to decrease pressure.

Regulated pressure gauge (see E)

This gauge measures the regulated outlet pressure.

Air line outlet (see F)

Connect 1/4" NPT air hose to this outlet.

ELECTRICAL POWER REQUIREMENTS

ELECTRICAL WIRING

Refer to the air compressor's serial label for the unit's voltage and amperage requirements.

Use a dedicated circuit

For best performance and reliable starting, the air compressor must be plugged into a dedicated circuit, as close as possible to the fusebox or circuit breaker. The compressor will use the full capacity of a typical 15 amp household circuit. If any other electrical devices are drawing from the compressor's circuit, the compressor may fail to start. Low voltage or an overloaded circuit can result in sluggish starting that causes the motor overload protection system or circuit breaker to trip, especially in cold conditions.

NOTE: A circuit breaker is recommended. If the air compressor is connected to a circuit protected by a fuse, use dual element time delay fuses (Buss Fusetron type "T" only).

EXTENSION CORDS

NOTE: Avoid use of extension cords.

For optimum performance, plug the compressor power cord directly into a grounded wall socket. Do not use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary. Instead, use a longer air hose to reach the area where the air is needed.

If use of an extension cord cannot be avoided, the cord should be no longer than 50 feet and be a minimum wire size of 12 gauge (AWG). Do not use a 16 or 14 gauge extension cord.

Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and overheating. The smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

FOR CORD-CONNECTED MODELS:

This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.

This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinance.

Note: Not all units shipped with power cord.

⚠️ DANGER Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to flat blade terminal. The wire insulation having an outer face that is green with or without yellow stripes is the winding wire.

This product is for use on a nominal 115 volt circuit. A cord with a grounding plug, as shown here, shall be used.

Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the same configuration as the plug (see Fig. 4). No adapter should be used with this product.

Check with a licensed electrician 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 licensed electrician.

FOR PERMANENTLY CONNECTED MODELS OR MODELS SHIPPED

WITHOUT POWER CORD: This product must be connected to a grounded metallic, permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding terminal or lead on the product.

MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE

⚠ WARNING To avoid personal injury, always shut off and unplug the compressor and relieve all air pressure from the system before performing any service on the air compressor.

Regular maintenance will ensure trouble-free operation. Your electric powered air compressor represents high-quality engineering and construction; however, even high-quality machinery requires periodic maintenance. The items listed below should be inspected on a regular basis

DRAINING THE TANK

WARNING

moisture must be

Condensation will accumulate in the tank. To prevent corrosion of the tank from the inside, this is drained at the end of every workday.

WARNING

WARNING Be sure to wear protective eyewear. Relieve the air pressure in the system and open the petcock on the bottom of the tank to drain.

CHECKING THE OIL

Check the level of oil in the pump with the sight glass. The pump oil level must be between A and B (See Fig. 7). Do not overfill or underfill.

CHANGING THE OIL

NOTE: Use synthetic blend, nondetergent air compressor oil.

Remove the oil plug (C) (Fig. 7) and drain the oil until it slows to a drip, then close. Add oil to the pump by first removing the breather plug (E). Add oil until the level viewed through the sight glass (D) is between FULL (A) and ADD (B) (approx. 11.35 oz). Never overfill or underfill the pump.

BELT TENSION AND PULLEY ALIGNMENT

WARNING

To avoid personal injury, always shut off and unplug the compressor and relieve all air pressure from the system

before performing any service on the air compressor.

NOTE: Drive belt tensioning and pulley alignment are done at the same time.

They are discussed separately for clarity.

ADJUSTING DRIVE BELT TENSION

Proper belt tension and pulley alignment must be maintained for maximum drive efficiency and belt life. The correct tension exists if a deflection (see A) of 1/2" (13 mm) occurs by placing 5 lb (2.3 kg) of force (see B) midway between the motor pulley and the pump flywheel (See Fig. 8). This deflection can be adjusted by the following procedure. The pulley should be carefully aligned with the flywheel, and all setscrews should be kept tight.

1. Remove the belt guard.
2. Loosen the motor mounting bolts.
3. Shift the motor to the point where the correct deflection exists.
4. Retighten the motor mounting bolts.
5. Check to ensure that the tension remained correct.
6. Reinstall the belt guard. All moving parts must be guarded.

A B Fig. 8

Pulley alignMent

To check pulley alignment, remove the belt guard and place a straightedge (see a) against the pump flywheel (see b) (See Fig. 9). Measure and record the distance from the straightedge to the edge of the drive belt at point C. Then measure the distance from the straightedge to the edge of the drive belt again at points D and E. Both distances should be the same as at point C. If D or E are different from C, there is a misalignment which must be corrected before the compressor is run. To correct a pulley misalignment, use the following procedure.

1. Remove the belt guard.
2. Loosen the motor mounting bolts.
3. Loosen the setscrew on the motor pulley.
4. Align the motor pulley with the pump flywheel (c = D = e).
5. Retighten the motor pulley setscrew.
6. Adjust the proper belt tension.
7. Retighten the motor mounting bolts.
8. Reinstall the belt guard. All moving parts must be guarded.

MAINTENANCE

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER

A dirty air filter will reduce the compressor's performance and life. To avoid any internal contamination of the pump, the filter should be cleaned frequently, and replaced on a regular basis. Felt filters should be cleaned in warm, soapy water, rinsed, and allowed to air dry before reinstallation. Paper filters should be replaced when dirty. Do not allow the filter to become filled with dirt or paint. If the filter becomes filled with paint, it should be replaced. Direct exposure to dirty conditions or painting areas will void your warranty.

CHECKING THE RELIEF VALVE

Pull the relief valve daily to ensure that it is operating properly and to clear the valve of any possible obstructions.

TESTING FOR LEAKS

Check that all connections are tight. A small leak in any of the hoses, transfer tubes, or pipe connections will substantially reduce the performance of your air compressor. If you suspect a leak, spray a small amount of soapy water around the area of the suspected leak with a spray bottle. If bubbles appear, repair or replace the faulty component. Do not overtighten any connections.

STORAGE

Before storing the compressor for a prolonged period, use an air blow gun to clean all dust and debris from the compressor. Disconnect the power cord and coil it up. Pull the pressure relief valve to release all pressure from the tank. Drain all moisture from the tank. Clean the filter element and filter housing; replace the element if necessary. Drain the oil from the pump crankcase and replace it with new oil. Cover the entire unit to protect it from moisture and dust.
