Operating Instructions and Parts List
Installation
LOCATION
It is extremely important to use the
compressor in a clean, well ventilated
area where the surrounding air
temperature will not be more than
100°F.
A minimum clearance of 18 inches
between the compressor and a wall is
required because objects could obstruct
air flow.
Do not locate the
compressor air inlet
near steam, paint spray, sandblast areas
or any other source of contamination.
This debris will damage the motor.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. This product is for use on a
nominal 120 volt circuit and has
a grounding plug that looks like
the plug illustrated in Figure 4.
Make sure the product is connected
to an outlet having the same
confi guration as the plug. This
product must be grounded. In
the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces risk of
electrical shock by providing an
escape wire for electric current. This
product is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with an
appropriate grounding plug. Plug
must be plugged into an outlet that
is properly installed and grounded
in accordance with all local codes
and ordinances.

the unit checks OK.
ON / OFF CYCLING OF COMPRESSOR
In the ON / AUTO position, the
compressor pumps air into the tank.
When a shut-off (preset "cut-out")
pressure is reached, the compressor
automatically shuts off.
If the compressor is left in the
ON / AUTO position and air is depleted
from the tank by use of a tire chuck,
tool, etc., the compressor will restart
automatically at its preset "cut-in"
pressure. When a tool is being used
continuously, the compressor will cycle
on and off automatically.
In the OFF position, the pressure switch
cannot function and the compressor
will not operate. Make sure switch
is in OFF position when connecting
or disconnecting power cord from
electrical outlet.
PRESSURE GAUGES
Gauge attached to regulator indicates
air pressure going to hose (and any
tool attached to end of hose).
Gauge attached to pressure switch
indicates air pressure in tank.
