INSTALLATION HOW TO SET UP YOUR UNIT Location of the Air Compressor Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry, and well ventilated area. Locate the air compressor at least 12" away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air. Locate the air compressor as close to the main power supply as possible to avoid using long lengths of electrical wiring. NOTE: Long lengths of electrical wiring could cause power loss to the motor. The air filter must be kept clea

Wiring Instructions RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Improper electrical grounding can result in electrical shock. The wiring should be done by a qualified electrician to comply with national and local electrical codes. A qualified electrician needs to knows the following before wiring: 1. The amperage rating of the electrical box should be adequate. Refer to the product specifications, found in the parts manual, for this information. 2. The supply line should have the same electrical characteristics

Air Distribution System Plastic or PVC pipe is not designed for use with compressed air. Regardless of its indicated pressure rating, plastic pipe can burst from air pressure. Use only metal pipe for air distribution lines. The next figure represents a typical air distribution system. The following are tips to remember when setting up the air compressor’s air distribution system. ● Use pipe that is the same size as the air tank outlet. Piping that is too small will restrict the flow of air. ● I

Pressure Release Valve: The pressure release Pressure Release valve, located on the side of the pressure switch, is Valve designed to automatically release compressed air from the compressor head and the outlet tube when the air compressor reaches “cut-out” pressure or is shut off. The pressure release valve allows the motor to restart freely. When the motor stops running, air will be heard escaping from this valve for a few seconds. No air should be heard leaking when the motor is running, or

Before Each Start-Up: 1. Place On/Auto/Off lever to “OFF”. 2. Close the globe valve. 3. Attach hose and accessories. NOTE: A regulator MUST be installed when using accessories rated at less than 110 PSI. Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating. How to Start 1. Turn the On/Auto/Off lever to “AUTO” and allow tank pressure to
