WARNING: RISK OF BURSTING
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
• 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.
Attachments & accessories:
• Exceeding the pressure rating of air tools,
spray guns, air operated accessories,
tires, and other inflatables can cause
them to explode or fly apart, and could
result in serious injury.
Tires:
• Over inflation of tires could result in
serious injury and property damage.

recommendation and never exceed the
maximum allowable pressure rating of
attachments. Never use compressor to
inflate small low pressure objects such as
children's toys, footballs, basketballs, etc.
• Use a tire pressure gauge to check the tires
pressure before each use and while inflating
tires; see the tire sidewall for the correct tire
pressure.
WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
WHAT CAN HAPPEN

electricity. Like any other electrically
powered device, If it is not used properly
it may cause electric shock.
• Repairs attempted by
personnel can result in serious injury or
death by electrocution.
• Electrical Grounding: Failure to provide
adequate grounding to this product
could result in serious injury or death
from electrocution. See Grounding
Instructions under Installation.
WARNING: RISK FROM FLYING OBJECTS
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• The compressed air stream can cause
soft tissue damage to exposed skin and
can propel dirt, chips, loose particles,
and small objects at high speed, resulting
in property damage or personal injury.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• Touching exposed metal such as the
compressor head, engine head, engine
exhaust or outlet tubes, can result in
serious burns.

FEATURES (FIG. 1)
MINI-SWITCH
Place this switch (L) in the ON(I) position to start the unit and OFF(0) to remove power at
the end of each use.
PRESSURE SWITCH
The pressure switch automatically starts the motor when the air tank pressure drops below
the factory set cut-in pressure. It stops the motor when the air tank pressure reaches the
factory set cut-out pressure.
SAFETY VALVE
If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its cut-out pressure setting,
the safety valve (G) will protect against high pressure by popping out at its factory set
pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch cut-out setting).
CHECK VALVE
When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is open, allowing compressed air
to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches cut-out pressure, the check valve
closes, allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank.
TANK PRESSURE GAUGE
The tank pressure gauge (K) indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank.
REGULATED PRESSURE GAUGE
The regulated pressure gauge (D) indicates the air pressure available at the outlet side of
the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the regulator.
REGULATOR
The regulator (F) controls the air pressure shown on the regulated pressure gauge. Pull the
knob out and turn clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
When the desired pressure is reached push knob in to lock in place. The regulated pressure
range is 7–150 psi.
WARNING: Risk of Bursting. 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.
UNIVERSAL QUICK CONNECT BODIES
The universal quick connect body (E) accepts the three most popular styles of quick connect
plugs: Industrial, automotive, and ARO. One hand push-to-connect operation makes
connections simple and easy. The two quick connect bodies allow the use of two tools at
the same time.
DRAIN VALVE
The drain valve (H) is located at the base of the air tank and is used to drain condensation
at the end of each use. See Draining Air Tank under Maintenance.
COOLING SYSTEM
This compressor contains an advanced design cooling system. It is normal for this fan to
blow air through the vent holes in large amounts. The cooling system is working when air
is expelled.
AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP
The pump compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not available until the compressor
has raised the air tank pressure above that required at the air outlet.
NOTE: Air tanks, compressors and similar
equipment used to inflate tires can fill small
tires very rapidly. Adjust pressure regulator
on air supply to no more than the rating of
the tire pressure. Add air in small increments
and frequently use the tire gauge to prevent
over inflation.
