Included are wheels, regulator, gauges, and handle. This air compressor requires no oil. Now you can enjoy all the benefits of having an air compressor without ever having to purchase, add or change oil. Your air compressor can be used for operating paint spray guns, air tools, blow guns, nailers/staplers, air brushes, and inflator kits. An air pressure regulator is required for most of the applications. An inline air filter which removes moisture and dirt from compressed air should be used where applicable. An inline regulator can be used if a more precise adjustment of air pressure is needed downstream. GLOSSARY CFM: Cubic Feet per Minute. SCFM: Standard of air delivery. Cubic Feet per Minute; a unit of measure PSh Pounds per Square Inch; a unit of measure of pressure. ASME: American tested, inspected the ASME, Society of Mechanical Engineers; made, and registered to meet the standards of Cut-Out Pressure: When you turn on your air compressor and it begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before the motor automatically shuts off - protecting your air tank from pres sure higher than its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called "cut-out pressure." CSA: Electrical products sold in Canada are required to be certified to the applicable CSA standard (s), Canadian Standards Association (CSA) is a standards writing and safety testing organization. Products that are CSA certified have been evaluated and tested and found to meet or exceed Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off. air tank pressure drops as you continue to use your accessory. When the tank pressure drops to a certain low level and the pressure switch lever is in "Auto", the motor will restart automati- the applicable performance. CSA standard (s) for safety and electrical cally. The low pressure at which the motor automatically restarts is called "cut-in pressure." SPECIFICATION Model Bore Stroke No. Voltage - Single Phase Minimum Branch Circuit Requirement Fuse Type Amperage at Maximum Pressure Air Tank/Capacity Approximate Cut-in Pressure Approximate Cut-out Pressure SCFM @ 40 psi SCFM @ 90 psi CHART 919.727360 2 3/8" 1.35" 120 15 amps Time Delay 15,0 ASME!30 gal. (U.S.) 100 130 7.8 5.5 DESCRIPTION Air Compressor Pump: To compress air, the piston moves up and clown in the cylinder. On the downstroke, air is drawn in through the air intake valves. The exhaust valves remain closed, On the upstroke of the piston, air is compressed. The intake valves close and compressed air is forced out through the exhaust valves, through the outlet tube, through the check valve and into the air tank. 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. Pressure Switch: lever. It is labeled The pressure switch is fitted with a small "Auto/O" for automatic run or off. In the "O" position, the motor will not run. In the "Auto" position, it 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. Pressure Release Valve: The pressure release valve Io+ cated on the side of the pressure switch is designed to automatically release compressed air trapped within the compressor head and outlet tube. This short release of air wilt occur when the air compressor reaches "cut-out" pressure or the unit is shut off. If the air is not released, the motor will not be able to start when next required. Flow Valve: The flow valve allows air to flow from the head as the motor is getting "up to speed". Once the motor reaches normal operating speed, the flow valve closes and the pump begins to compress air, thus requiring less amp draw on initial start. OF OPERATION Regulator: The air pressure coming FROM the air tank is controlled by the regulator. The regulator control knob is a vibration proof design. Lift the regulator knob to engage and depress the knob to lock. Turn the regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease pressure. To avoid minor readjustment after making a change in pressure setting, always approach the desired pressure from a lower pressure. When reducing from a higher to a lower setting, first reduce to some pressure less than that desired, then bring up to the desired pressure. Depending on the air requirements of each )articular accessory, the outlet regulated air pressure ma, have to be adjusted while operating the accessory. Regulator Gauge: The outlet pressure gauge indicates the air pressure available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the regulator and is always less than or equal to the tank pressure. See "Operating Procedures". Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank. Cooling System: This compressor contains an advanced design cooling system. At the heart of this cooling system is an engineered fan. It is perfectly normal for this fan to blow air through the vent holes in large amounts. You know that the cooling system is working when air is being expelled. Drain Valve: This valve is located at the bottom of the tank. To drain accumulated moisture from the tank, pull on the safety valve until tank pressure is 15 PSI. Unscrew the drain valve and allow the water to drain. Safety Valve: If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its cut-out pressure setting, the safety valve will protect the tank against high pressure by "popping out" at its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch cut-out setting). Tools Needed • a 9/16" socket and an open end wrench for attaching the wheels for Assembly • a 3/8" open end wrench or socket to tighten handle screws ASSEMBLY Installing Wheels, Foot Strip Handles, Rubber 1. Attach the handle to the compressor saddle by inserting the handle inside the compressor saddle and lining up the two bolt holes on each side. Install the four screws, two on each side.

Remove the protective paper strip from the adhesive backed rubber foot strip. Attach the rubber foot strip to the bottom of leg. Press firmly into place, BREAK-IN PROCEDURES Location of the Air Compressor Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well ventilated area. The air filter must be kept clear of obstructions which could reduce air delivery of the air compressor. The air compressor should be located at least 12" away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of fresh intake and cooling air. Lubrication CAN RESULT IN Do not modify the plug that has been provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, the correct outlet should be installed by a qualified technician. and Oil This unit needs no lubrication Grounding IMPROPER GROUNDING ELECTRICAL SHOCK. or oiling. Instructions RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. In the event of a short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This air compressor must be properly grounded. If repairing or replacing cord or plug, the grounding wire must be kept separate from the current-carrying wires. Never connect the grounding wire to a flat blade plug terminal. The grounding wire has insulation with an outer surface that is green with or without yellow stripes. If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electrician. 120 Volt Models white This portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be used with an outlet that has been installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. The outlet must have the same configuration as the plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are signs of damage. 15 AMP PLUG _ OUTLET _GROUNDED GR_N_SG J PIN _ Voltage and Circuit Protection Refer to page 5 (Specification Chart) for the voltage and circuit protection requirements of your compressor. Use only a fuse or circuit breaker that is the same rating as the branch circuit the air compressor is operated on. If the compressor is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use only dual element time delay fuses. Extension Cords It is preferable to use extra air hose instead of an extension cord to avoid voltage drop and power loss to the motor, and to prevent overheating. If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is: 12 gauge (AWG) or heavier. (Wire size increases as gauge number decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 14 OR 16 AWG.) a three-wire extension cord that has a three-connector grounding plug, and a three-slot receptacle that wi!l accept the plug. n,: longer than 50 feet rr] good condition Break-in Procedure Serious damage may result if the following break-in instructions are not closely followed. This procedure is required only once, before the air compressor is put into service. 1. Set the pressure switch "AUTO/O" lever in the "O" position for "Off". 2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. 3. Do not attach hose to outlet. Leave the outlet open to the atmosphere. 4. Turn the regulator clockwise, opening it fully, to prevent air pressure build-up in the tank. 5. Move the "AUTO/C)" tever to AUTO". The compressor will start, 6. RUN THE COMPRESSOR FOR 15 MINUTES.
