COMPRESSOR FEATURES

COMPRESSOR FEATURES OIL LUBRICATION: Oil lubricated direct drive pump with cast-iron cylinder for durability. 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.
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 preset 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.
INSTRUMENT PANEL: Top mounted instrument panel provides easy access. AIR TANK PRESSURE GAUGE: The tank pressure gauge provides a reading of the air pressure inside of the compressor tank. PRESSURE REGULATOR: The regulator allows you to select the amount of air pressure that is output through the air hose into tools and accessories. 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. NOTICE: Be careful not to overtighten pressure regulator knob when it bottoms out as this may damage pressure regulator. OUTLET PRESSURE GAUGE: The outlet pressure gauge provides 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. DUAL AIR OUTLET PORTS: The air outlet ports are located on the pressure manifold behind the instrument panel. These ports feature quick connect couplers that are preinstalled into standard 1/4" NPT (F) threads in the pressure manifold. Use PTFE thread-sealing tape on the threads to make sure you have an airtight connection when replacing quick connect couplers. SAFETY RELIEF VALVE: This compressor is equipped with a safety relief valve that is designed to prevent system failures by relieving pressure from the system 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. 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 clockwise. Once all moisture has drained out, close the fitting securely. NOTE: Air tank will not pressurize while drain valve is open. 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.
COMPRESSOR FEATURES 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 applications 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 1-800-423-3598 for assistance. CARRY HANDLE: Convenient handle for easy transport.
