Speedaire Operating Instructions

Introduction
E
Refer to Figure 3 to locate the following
N
items.
G
Pressure Switch - Auto/Off Switch - In
L
the AUTO position, the compressor shuts
I
off automatically when tank pressure
S
reaches the maximum preset pressure.
H
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 - 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.

ASME Safety Valve - This valve is
located on the side of the pressure
switch. It will automatically release 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 discharge tube.
Check Valve - This valve is located at
the end of the exhaust tube where it
meets the tank. It is a 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.
Never use the
handle to lift the
unit completely off the ground.

Tank Drain Valve - 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.
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.
Operation
BEFORE FIRST START-UP BREAK-IN
PROCEDURE
Complete this procedure before using
compressor for the first time. Once
completed, it is not necessary to repeat.
1. Open drain valve on tank.
2. Turn on/off switch to OFF position.
3. Plug in power cord.
4. Turn on/off switch to ON position and
run compressor for 30 minutes.

5. Turn on/off switch to OFF position.
Minimum Gauge of Extension Cord
ASME Safety Valve
25 feet

Tank Gauge
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.
