The California Air Tools 8010AD is an ultra-quiet and oil-free air compressor designed for various applications where clean, oil-free air is essential. Its compact structure, stable performance, and high airflow rate make it a versatile tool for both personal and commercial use. The compressor's motor directly drives the pistons, allowing it to function without lubrication for extended periods.
Function Description:
The California Air Tools 8010AD is an air compressor that generates pressurized air. It is designed to be ultra-quiet and oil-free, making it suitable for environments where noise reduction and air purity are critical. The compressor features an automatic pressure switch that turns the motor off when the tank reaches its maximum working pressure and restarts it when the pressure drops. It also includes an automatic drain valve to remove moisture from the air tank, preventing rust and corrosion. The unit is equipped with a regulator to control the output air pressure, allowing users to adjust it according to the specific requirements of their air tools.
Important Technical Specifications:

- Versatile Applications: Can be used as an independent air supply machine for various air-powered tools and equipment.
Maintenance Features:
- Automatic Air Tank Drainage: Equipped with an EZ-1 Auto Drain Valve that automatically drains moisture from the air tank at the beginning of each cycle. Regular manual draining is also suggested to remove any excess moisture and prevent rust and corrosion, which can weaken the tank and lead to leaks or bursting.
- Air Filter Maintenance: The air filter is designed to reduce noise and prevent particulates from entering the compressor. It should be cleaned or replaced regularly to maintain optimal performance, as a clogged filter can reduce air intake capabilities.
- Leak Detection: Users are advised to regularly check all connections for leaks using soapy water. Any detected leaks should be addressed by tightening connections or replacing broken parts immediately.
- Clear Area Maintenance: It is important to position the compressor with at least 2 feet of obstacle-free space around and above it to ensure adequate airflow and prevent overheating.
- Cleanliness: The compressor should be cleaned regularly with a soft brush or a moistened cloth using a biodegradable solvent to remove dirt and dust, ensuring better performance. Flammable liquids like gasoline or alcohol should not be used for cleaning.
- Storage Guidelines: For prolonged storage, the compressor should be turned off, unplugged, and all pressure released from the air tank. It should be cleaned and covered to protect it from dust and moisture, and no items should be stacked on or around it to prevent damage.
- Troubleshooting Guide: The manual includes a comprehensive troubleshooting guide to help users identify and resolve common issues such as pressure drops, motor not starting, noisy operation, or failure to reach maximum pressure.
- Customer Support: California Air Tools provides customer support via phone and their website, offering a maintenance and troubleshooting guide with valuable information and videos for setup, operation, and maintenance. Warranty service and parts inquiries can also be directed to customer support.
