Installation

Unpack and inspect contents. Place on level, stable surface.

Position compressor: Ensure adequate ventilation (minimum 12 inches clearance).
Check oil level: Verify pump is properly lubricated (if applicable).
Connect air hose: Attach to quick-connect outlet.
Plug into proper power outlet: 120V, 15-amp dedicated circuit.

WARNING! Compressor is heavy; use proper lifting techniques. Ensure location is dry and well-ventilated.

First-Time Setup

Power on compressor; follow initial setup procedure.

Check tank pressure: Ensure pressure gauge reads zero before starting.
Set pressure regulator: Turn clockwise to increase, counterclockwise to decrease.
Test safety valve: Pull ring to verify proper operation.
Run break-in cycle: Allow compressor to run for 30 minutes without load.

CAUTION! Wear safety glasses during operation. Keep hands clear of moving parts.

Controls and Settings

Front panel controls: Power switch, Pressure regulator, Pressure gauges (tank and outlet).

Operation: POWER switch (ON/OFF), PRESSURE REGULATOR (output adjustment), SAFETY VALVE (manual test), DRAIN VALVE (tank condensation).

Pressure Settings: Regulator controls tool output pressure (30-150 PSI). Tank gauge shows stored air pressure. Thermal protection automatically shuts off motor if overheated. Automatic pressure switch maintains tank pressure between cut-in and cut-out settings.

Connecting Accessories

Air tools: Connect to quick-connect outlet. Air hose: Use 1/4-inch or 3/8-inch hose.

Ensure compressor is off and tank pressure is released.
Connect air hose to quick-connect fitting.
Attach air tool to other end of hose.
Set regulator to recommended tool pressure.

Tip: Use thread sealant on all connections. Check for leaks before operation.

Operation Guidelines

Supports various air tools: nailers, staplers, inflators, spray guns.

Start compressor: Turn power switch to ON position.
Monitor pressure: Watch tank gauge until cut-out pressure reached.
Use tools: Adjust regulator for specific tool requirements.
Shut down: Turn power OFF, release pressure, drain tank.
Daily maintenance: Check for leaks, clean air filter.
Weekly: Inspect safety valve, check hose condition.
Monthly: Tighten all fasteners, inspect motor brushes.

WARNING! Never exceed maximum pressure rating. Always wear eye protection.

Maintenance Schedule

Daily: Drain tank condensation, check for leaks. Monthly: Inspect air filter, safety valve. Annually: Check piston rings, motor condition.

Care & Cleaning

Disconnect power before cleaning. Wipe exterior with damp cloth. Keep air intake clean.

CAUTION! Do not use solvents or compressed air for cleaning. Keep motor ventilation clear.

Regulatory Information

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Possible Cause	Corrective Action
Compressor won't start	Power supply/thermal overload	Check power cord; reset thermal overload; verify voltage.
Low pressure	Leaks/regulator setting	Check for air leaks; adjust regulator; inspect check valve.
Excessive noise	Loose parts/worn components	Tighten all fasteners; check piston and connecting rods.
Motor overheating	Ventilation/overuse	Ensure proper clearance; allow cool-down periods.
Air leaks	Fittings/hose connections	Tighten connections; replace damaged seals or hoses.

Reset: Thermal overload reset button on motor.
