Operating Instructions

NOTE: 120 volt, 15 amp units can be

operated on a 120 volt circuit under

the following conditions:

a. No other electrical appliances

or lights are connected to the same

branch circuit.

b. Voltage supply is normal.

c. Circuit is equipped with a 15

amp circuit breaker or a 15

amp slow blow fuse.

3. If these conditions cannot be met or

if nuisance tripping of current

protection device occurs, it may be

necessary to operate compressor

from a 120 volt, 20 amp circuit.

Pressure switch - Auto/Off Switch - In

the AUTO position, the compressor

shuts off automatically when tank

pressure reaches the maximum preset

pressure. In the OFF position, the

compressor will not operate. This

switch should be in the OFF position

when connecting or disconnecting the

power cord from the electrical outlet or

when changing air tools.

Regulator - The regulator controls the

amount of air pressure released at the

hose outlet.

ASME Safety Valve - This valve

automatically releases air if the tank

pressure exceeds the preset maximum.

Discharge tube - This tube carries

compressed air from the pump to the

check valve. This tube becomes very hot

during use. To avoid the risk of severe

burns, never touch the discharge tube.

Check valve - One-way valve that

allows air to enter the tank, but

prevents air in the tank from flowing

back into the compressor pump.

Drain Petcock - This valve is located on

the bottom of the tank. Use this valve

to drain moisture from the tank daily

to reduce the risk of corrosion.

Reduce tank pressure below 10 PSI,

then drain moisture from tank daily to

avoid tank corrosion. Drain moisture

from tank(s) by opening the drain

petcock located underneath the tank.

LUBRICATION

This is an oilless product and does not

require lubrication to operate.

BREAK-IN PROCEDURE

Do not attach air

chuck or other tool

to open end of hose until start-up has

been completed and unit checks OK.

IMPORTANT: Do not operate

compressor before reading instructions

or damage may result.

1. Turn regulator fully clockwise to

open air flow.

2. If repair or replacement of cord or

plug is necessary, do not connect

grounding wire to either flat blade

terminal. The wire with insulation

having an external surface that is

green (with or without yellow

stripes) is the grounding wire.

Never connect

green (or green

and yellow) wire to a live terminal.

3. Check with a qualified electrician or

serviceman if grounding instructions

are not completely understood, or if

in doubt as to whether product is

properly grounded. Do not modify

plug provided; if it will not fit outlet,

have proper outlet installed by a

qualified electrician.

WIRING

1. Local electrical wiring codes differ

from area to area. Source wiring,

plug and protector must be rated for

at least the amperage and voltage

indicated on motor nameplate, and

meet all electrical codes for this

minimum.

2. Use a slow blow fuse or a circuit

breaker.

Overheating, short

circuiting and fire

damage will result from inadequate

wiring, etc.

MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR

Moisture in compressed air will

form into droplets as it comes from

an air compressor pump. When

humidity is high or when a

compressor is in continuous use for

an extended period of time, this

moisture will collect in the tank.

When using a paint spray or

sandblast gun, this water will be

carried from the tank through the

hose, and out of the gun as droplets

mixed with the spray material.

IMPORTANT: This condensation

will cause water spots in a paint

job, especially when spraying other

than water based paints. If

sandblasting, it will cause the sand

to cake and clog the gun,

rendering it ineffective. A filter in

the air line (MP3105), located as

near to the gun as possible, will

help eliminate this moisture.
