COMPRESSOR FEATURES:
1. AIR PUMP: Oil lubricated direct drive pump with cast-iron cylinder for durability.
2. OIL FILL SIGHT GLASS: Located on the face of the crankcase, the oil fill sight
glass provides a convenient way to check the oil fill level within the pump. The
oil level must be checked prior to each use to ensure proper fill level.
Do not operate the compressor without lubricant, or with
low lubrication level. The manufacturer is not responsible for damage caused
to the compressor due to operation without proper lubrication.
3. AUTOMATIC ON/OFF PRESSURE SWITCH: This compressor is equipped with
an automatic on/off pressure switch. The compressor will only run when the
switch is in the ON/AUTO position. Once the tank has reached the desired pre-
set pressure ("cut-out" pressure), the pump motor will automatically shut off.
While the switch is in the ON/AUTO position, the pump motor will automatically
turn back on once the pressure in the tank drops below the minimum preset
pressure ("cut-in" pressure).
Do not leave the compressor unattended while the power
switch is in the on/auto position.
4. MOTOR SHROUD: Protects motor and user.
5. AIR TANK PRESSURE GAUGE: The tank pressure gauge provides a reading of
the air pressure inside of the compressor tank.
6. PRESSURE REGULATORS: The regulators allow you to select the amount of air
pressure that is output through the air hose into tools and accessories. Each
regulator allows you to set a pressure setting independent of the other. This
allows having separate air settings for different tools/requirements. Turn the
pressure regulator knob clockwise to increase discharge pressure, and counter
clockwise to decrease discharge pressure. Please refer to the air delivery
requirements of your tools for the proper pressure settings.
CAUTION: Be careful not to overtighten pressure regulator knob when it "bot-
toms out" as this may damage pressure regulator.
7. OUTLET PRESSURE GAUGES: The outlet pressure gauges provide a reading of
the air pressure at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by
the pressure regulator and is always less than or equal to the air tank pressure.
8. AIR OUTLET PORTS: These ports feature quick connect couplers that are pre-
installed into standard 1/4 in. NPT (F) threads in the pressure manifolds. Use PTFE
thread-sealing tape on the threads to make sure you have an airtight connection
when replacing quick connect couplers.

9. SAFETY RELIEF VALVE: This compressor is equipped with a safety relief valve
that is designed to prevent system failures by relieving pressure from the sys-
tem when the air pressure reaches a predetermined level. The safety relief valve
is preset by the manufacturer. DO NOT attempt to modify or remove the safety
relief valve.
10.AIR TANK DRAIN VALVE: Moisture is produced whenever air is compressed. It
is critical to drain water from the air tank on this compressor frequently. If unit
is used only occasionally, tank should be drained after each use and prior to
the next use. To drain the tank, slowly open the tank drain fitting by turning
counterclockwise. Once all moisture has drained out, close the fitting securely.
NOTE: Air tank will not pressurize while drain valve is open.
11.AIR INTAKE FILTER: This compressor is equipped with an externally accessible
air intake filter that is designed to clean air coming into the pump. The filter
element is easily removed for periodic cleaning. Use compressed air to blow
loose dirt and debris from the paper filter element and reinstall. Replace paper
filter element when necessary.
A dirty air filter will reduce air compressor performance
and can lead to product failure.
12.MANUAL THERMAL OVERLOAD SWITCH: The electric motor has a manual
thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the thermal
overload protector will shut off the motor. Turn pressure switch to the "off"
position and wait for unit to cool before pushing the reset button and restarting
the compressor. NOTICE: This air compressor is designed for household use
only and is not intended to operate heavy-duty air tools. If your application's
demands exceed the capacity of this air compressor, a larger air compressor
that is matched to your application is recommended. If the unit shuts down
again, please call the consumer helpline at 1-866-984-7627 for assistance.
13.OIL INLET: Easily accessible for adding oil to the pump.
14.POWER CORD: 3-wire with ground for added safety against electrical shock.
