This information relates to protecting YOUR SAFETY and PREVENTING EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help you recognize this information, we use the following symbols. Please read the manual and pay attention to these sections. URGENT SAFETY INFORMATION -A HAZARD THAT WILL CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE. IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION A HAZARD THAT MIGHTCAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE. NOTE Infon'nation for preventing damage to equipment. Information that you should pay special attention to. HAZARDS CAN OCCUR IF EQUIPMENT IS NOT USED PROPERLY. PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CHART. WHAT TO LOOK FOR Hot Parts Flammable Vapors WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT When operated continuously, the air hose gets hot, especially near the compressor. If you maintain contact by grasping you may suffer minor bums or discomfort. Never touch the air compressor head during or immediately after operation. On tank mounted units, the plumbing between the pump and tank gets hot. On tank mounted units, avoid prolonged contact with the pump to tank plumbing. It is normal for the motor and pressure switch to spark. A spark can ignite flammable vapors from gasoline or solvents, causing a fire or explosion. The air compressor must only be used in well ventilated areas, free of gasoline or solvent vapors. Do not operate the compressor while you are carrying it, or in the spray area. Unsuitable Solvents The solvents 1,1,1 - Trichloroethane and Methylene Chloride can chemically react with aluminum used n paint spray guns, pant pumps, etc., I and cause an explosion. These solvents can also react with galva nized components and cause corrosion and weaken ng of parts. Thisdoes not Jaffect your air compressor - but it may affect the i equipment being used. Read the label or data sheet supplied with the material you intend to spray. If it contains the solvents listed do not use accessories that contain aluminum or galvanized parts. You must either change the material you intend to spray, or use only stainless steel spray equipment. WHAT TO LOOK FOR -- Compressed Air WHAT COULD HAPPEN ! [ Compressed air can propel dust, did or loose padicles it comes in contact with. These propelled particles may cause serious injury or damage. HOW TO PREVENT IT Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward a 3erson or any part of the body. Always wear safety goggles using the air compressor• or glasses when Always turn the air compressor off before attaching or removing accessories• Too much air pressure applied to air tools or accessories can cause damage or risk of bursting. Electricity Check the manufacturer's pressure rating for air tools and accessories. Regulator outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating Always unplug the air compressor prior to mainYour air compressor is powered by electdcity. Like any other electrically powered device, if it is tenance or repair. not used properly it may cause electrical shock. Never use the air compressor in the rain. Always plug the cord into an electrical outlet with the specified voltage and adequate fuse protection. Moving Pads Toxic Vapors This compressor cycles automatically when the pressure switch is in the ON/OFF position. If you attempt repair or maintenance while the compressor is operating, or with the switch in the ON/AUTO position, you can expose yourself to moving parts. These moving parts can cause serious injury or damage if they come into contact with you or your clothing. It is normal for compressed air to contain toxic or irritating vapors. Such vapors are harmful if inhaled. Certain materials you are spraying (like paint, weed killer, sand or insecticide) can be harmful if you inhale them. Never operate the compressor with the belt guard removed. Always unplug the unit and release air pressure from the tank and any accessories before doing repair or maintenance. :Never directly inhale the compressed duced by this unit. air pro- Read labels and safety data for all materials you spray. Follow all safety precautions. Read and follow the safety instructions provided on the label or safety data sheet for the material you are spraying. Use a respirator mask if there is a chance of inhaling anything you are spraying. Read all instructions.., be sure that the respirator mask is suitable for your application. Air Tank Modifications to the air compressor in an attempt to reach higher air pressure can cause the air tank to rupture or explode. Do not adjust, remove or tamper with the safety valve or pressure switch. If safety valve or pressure switch replacement is necessary, a part with the same rating must be used. Never use a motor with a higher horsepower rating than the one supplied. Never replace the air tank with a different model or a larger tank. Changing the air tank will cause it to weaken. Never drill into, weld or in any way modify the air I tank. The tank may rupture or explode. 5 GLOSSARY SCFM or CFM: Standard Cubic Feet per Minute; a unit of measurement of air delivery. PSIG or PSI: Pounds per square inch gauge. 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 tow level the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor automatically re-starts is called "cut-in pressure." 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 .The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called "cut-out pressure." DUTY CYCLE All DeVilbiss Air Power manufactured air compressors should be operated on not more than a 50% duty cycle. This means an air compressor that pumps air more than 50% of one hour is considered misuse, because the air compressor is undersized for the required air demand. Maximum compressor pumping time per hour is 30 minutes. STORAGE you have _ 1.

Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage by winding them loosely around the air compressor. 4. Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location. DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION Air Compressor Pump: To compress air, the piston moves up and down 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 tubes, 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. 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. 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 particular accessory, the outlet regulated air pressure may have to be adjusted while operating the accessory. OutJet Pressure Gauge: The outlet pressure gauge indicatesthe air pressure available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled bythe regulator and is always less or equal to the tank pressure. See "Operating Procedures". This unit DOES NOT require Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank. Pressure Switch: The pressure switch 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. 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. Pressure Release Valve: a pressure release valve. Motor Thermal Overload Protector: The electdc motor has an automatic thermal ovedoad protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the thermal overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool before restarting. Regulator: The air pressure coming from the air tank is controlled by the regulator. Turn the regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure and counter-clockwise to INSTALLATION AND Circuit Protection The advance design of this unit Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of each use. On/Auto-Off Switch: Turn this switch ON to provide automatic power to the pressure switch and OFF to remove power at the end of each use. BREAK-IN Location of the Air Compressor Your compressor comes to you completely assembled and ready for use. Operate the air compressor in a dry, clean, cool and well ventilated area. The air compressor pump and case are designed to allow for proper cooling. Clean or blow off dust or dirt that collects on the air compressor. A clean air compressor runs cooler and provides longer service. The ventilation openings on your air compressor are necessary to maintain proper operating temperature. Do not place rags or other containers on or near these openings. Voltage and See front cover. Air Intake Filter: requires no air filter. PROCEDURES Extension Cords Use extra air hose instead of an extension cord to avoid voltage drop and power loss to the motor. If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is: a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the compressor in good condition no longer than 50 feet 14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (VVire size increases asgauge number decreases.) 12 AWG, IOAWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 16 OR 18 AWG. 7 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE PERFORMING REPAIRS MAY EXPOSE VOLTAGE SOURCES, MOVING PARTS OR COMPRESSED AIR SOURCES. PERSONAL INJURY MAY OCCUR.
