THIS MANUAL IS DESIGNED TO MAKE iT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE
FOR YOU TO SET UP, OPERATE AND MAiNTAiN
YOUR NEW AiR COMPRESSOR
GENERAL iNFORMATiON ASSEMBLY iNSTRUCTiONS
You have purchased a complete portable compressor
outfit consisting of a 2 cylinder single-stage air
compressor with air tank, air hose assembly, wheels
and handle. You will also find an air chuck and a
helpful "Power Painting With Sprayers" booklet. The
2 horsepower unit has a removable foot extension
bracket which allows for stationary mounting.
These units can be used for operating caulking guns,
grease guns, air brushes, sandblasters, air tools, etc., or
inflating tires and plastic toys, spraying weed killer,
insecticides, etc.
Tools Needed For Assembly
Tools needed are: (1) a 9/_6"socket or open end wrench
for attaching the wheels and hose adapter; and (2) an
adjustable wrench for attaching the pressure regulator,
and (3) a Z/l_"open end wrench for attaching the air
pressure gauge, (4) a 7/_6"socket or open end wrench for
attaching the foot extension bracket (2 hp. unit only), (5)
a 3/_6"hex key for installing the plug in the regulator and
(6) pipe thread sealant.
Attaching Wheels, Handle, Etc.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION
To compress air, the pistons move up and down in the
cylinder. On the downstroke, air is drawn in through the
air intake valve. The exhaust valve remains dosed. On
the upstroke of the piston, air iscompressed. The intake
valves close and compressed air is forced out through
the exhaust valve, through the check valve and 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. The air intake opening must be kept clear
of obstructions which could reduce air delivery of the
compressor.
THE WHEELS AND HANDLE DO NOT
PROVIDE ADEQUATE CLEARANCE, STA-
BILITY OR SUPPORT FOR PULLING THE
UNiT UP OR DOWN STAIRS AND STEPS.
THE UNiT MUST BE UFTED OR PUSHED UP
A RAMP.

Start-Up Procedures
All units are shipped without oil. Serious
damage may result if the following break=in
instructions are not closely followed. This
operation has to be completed only once
when first putting the unit in service.
Place unit on a level surface. Remove oil fill plug (50)
and slowly add a special compressor oil such as
Sears 9-16426 or SAE 20-20W SF motor oil until it is
even with the top of the oil fill hole. When filling the
crankcase, the oil flows into it very slowly. If the oil is
added too quickly, it will overflow and appear to be
full. (Crankcase oil capacity is 16fluid ounces.) Under
winter-type conditions use SAE 10W oil. Multi-
viscosity oil (10W 30) may be used but will result in
carbon deposits on critical components and reduce
performance and compressor life. Replace oil fill plug
(50). Plug the compressor into the correct power
source. Start the compressor by switching the ON-
AUTO/OFF switch (20) to the ON-AUTO position.
Open the regulator (46) by turning knob clockwise
fully to permit air to escape and prevent air pressure
buildup in the air tank. RUN THE COMPRESSOR 30
MINUTES iN THiS MANNER TO LUBRICATE PIS-
TONS AND BEARINGS. Shut off air with regulator
(turn knob counterclockwise) and let the unit pump up
to cut-off pressure. Turn the switch to "OFF" and
check the oil level; add oil if necessary. Turn switch to
"ON" and the unit is ready for use. Connect the air
hose to the air adapter (86) located at the end of the
regulator.Refer to Figure 1.
OPERATION
Manifold
The manifold (28) is located on the top of the unit
between the motor and air compressor pump. On the
manifold is the pressureswitch (20), safety valve (29),
regulator (46) and pressure gauge (27). The gauge
shows the air tank pressure. The air pressure coming
from the air tank is controlled by the regulator knob.
Turn the knob clockwise to increase pressure and
counterclockwise to decrease pressure. Refer to Fig-
ure 3. To avoid minor readjustment after making a
change in pressure setting, always approach the
desired pressure from a lower pressure. When reduc-
ing from a higher to a lower setting, first reduce to
some pressurelessthan that desired, then bring up to
the desired pressure. Depending on the air flow
requirements of each particular accessory, the outlet
regulated air pressure might have to be adjusted under
flow conditions.

The pressure switch (20) starts the motor when the air
tank pressure drops below the factory set cut-in pres-
sure and stops the motor when the air tank pressure
reaches the factory set cut-off pressure. (See specifica-
tion chart, page 5.)

The pressure switch (20) is pre-set to shut off the motor
automatically at the maximum operating pressure. If the
pressure switch does not shut off the outfit at its cut-off
pressure setting, the safety valve will protect against
high pressure by popping at its pre-set pressure.
Motor
Pressure Release Valve
{Models 919.174410 & 919.174320 Only)
The pressure release valve located on the bottom of the
pressure switch is designed to unload air from the com-
pressor head automatically at unit shut off. This protects
the motor from starting against air pressure remaining in
the compressor head and tubing. When the motor stops
running, air will be heard escaping from the valve for a
few seconds. When the motor is running, no air should
be leaking from the pressure release valve.
Note
Models 919.174212& 919.174311are designed to
operate withoutthis unloading feature.
MAINTENANCE
Replacing Air intake Filter
A dirty air intake filter will not allow the compressor to
operate at full capacity. When the intake filter becomes
dirty, oily, or covered with paint overspray, replace it. Do
not operate the compressor with the air intake filter
removed. To replace the filter, use needle nosed pliers
and pull or pry the old filter out. Replace with new. Refer
to Figure 1.
The motor has a thermal overload protector, tf the motor
overheats for any reason, the overload protector will
shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool
before restarting. Turn the ON-AUTO/OFF switch to the
OFF position. To restart, turn the ON-AUTO/OFF switch
to the ON position. Depress the reset button located on
the end of the motor. Refer to Figure 1.
Note
If the overload protector shuts the motor off
frequently, check for a possible voltage prob-
lem. Low voltage can also be suspected when:
1. The motor does not get up to full power or
speed.
2. Fuses blow out when starting motor.

Location of Air Compressor
Locate the unit in a dry, clean, cool and well ventilated
area. The compressor crankcase and head are designed
with fins which allow for proper cooling. Clean or blow off
fins and any other parts of the compressor that collect
dust or dirt. A dean compressor runs cooler and provides
longer service. Do not place rags, containers or other
matedal on or against the belt guard which wouJd obstruct
ventilation openings necessary for proper compressor
operating temperature, ffhumidity is high, aSears air filter
can be used to remove excessive moisture. Follow the
instructions packaged with the air filter for proper
installation.
Draining Water From Air Tank
[
/WARNING
WATER WmLL CONDENSE mN THE AmR
TANK. IF NOT DRAmNED, THE WATER W_LL
CORRODE AND WEAKEN THE TANK.
DRAIN THE TANK AS iNSTRUCTED
BELOW.
Water should be drained from the air tank weekly depend-
ing on where and how often the outfit has been used. If
humidity is high, drain more often. To drain the water that
has gathered in the air tank, open drain cock valve (41,
page 10) and allow to drain. When empty, close the valve
tightly before operating the compressor.
Note
if drain cock valve is clogged, release air
pressure in the air tank and then remove.
Clean and reinstall the valve.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
WARNING
PERFORMmNG TROUBLESHOOTING OR REPAIRS MAY EXPOSE VOLTAGE SOURCES, MOVmNG PARTS, OR COM-
PRESSED AiR SOURCES. PERSONAL iNJURY MAY OCCUR iF EXPOSED, PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING ANY
TROUBLESHOOTING OFt REPAIRS, THE COMPRESSOR MUST BE DmSCONNECTED FROM THE POWER SOURCE.
NEVER OPERATE THE OUTFmT WITH THE BELT GUARD REMOVED. THE BELT GUARD SHOULD BE REMOVED
ONLY WHEN THE POWER CORD IS DISCONNECTED.
PROBLEM
Motor Will Not Run
CAUSE
Motor overload protection switch
has tripped.
Tank pressure exceeds pressure
switch cut-in pressure.
Fuse blown, circuit breaker tripped.
Wrong extension cord.
Pressure release valve on
pressure switch has not unloaded
head pressure.
Check valve stuck.
Loose electrical connections.
Capacitor on the motor.
Faulty motor.
Pressure switch does not shut off
motor.
Pressure switch cut-out too high.
Excessive tank pressure
(safety valve pops off).
CORRECTION
Let motor cool off and reset switch by pres-
sing the red reset button located on the end of
motor (see motor section on page 8).
Motor will start automatically when tank pres-
sure drops below cut-in pressure of pressure
switch.
1) Check fuse box for blown fuse and replace
as necessary. Reset circuit breaker. Do not
use a fuse or circuit breaker with higher rating
than that specified for your particular branch
circuit (see specification chart, page 5).
2) Check for proper fuse, only "Fusetron" Type
T fuses are acceptable.
3) Check for low voltage conditions and/or
proper extension cord as outlined in the motor
section on page 8.
4) Remove check valve and clean or replace if
it is stuck open or closed.
5) Disconnect the other electrical appliances
from circuit or operate the compressor on its
own branch circuit.
Check for proper gauge wire and cord length.
Refer to extension cord recommendations
under Motor Section on page 8.
Bleed line by pushing lever on pressure switch
to OFF position which opens the pressure
release valve. If valve still does not open,
replace it. Models 919.174212 and 919.174311
are designed to operate without a head pres-
sure unloader.
A defective check valve results in a constant
air leak at the pressure release valve attached
to the side of the pressure switch (20) when
there is pressure in the air tank and the com-
pressor is not running. Remove and clean or
replace check valve (do not overtighten).
Check in motor connection box and pressure
switch. Pressure switch cover can easily be
removed by lifting cover at rear of switch.
Return to Sears Service Center to check and
replace if necessary.
Unless motor is visibly damaged, remove
motor and have it checked at alocal Sears
Service Center.
Move pressure switch lever to the "off" posi-
tion. If outfit doesn't shut-off replace the
switch.
Return outfit to Sears Service Center to check
and adjust or replace if necessary.
