INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
Your new air compressor can be used for operating paint, weed killer, and
insecticide sprayers, air tools, grease & caulking guns, sandblasters, ination, etc.
The air demands of the tool must be compared against this compressor’s
2.5 CFM output (at 90 PSI). A tool with a higher air demand than this compressor
can produce may either not function, or not function well. It may also cause the
compressor to run without stopping for long periods of time, trying to maintain
pressure in the tank. This can cause the either the motor or compressor pump to
overheat and damage them. Be sure the requirements of your tools can be met by
the compressor.
To compress air, the piston in the pump moves up and down in the cylinder. On
the down stroke, air is drawn in through the inlet valve. Since the discharge valve
remains closed, as the piston goes up, the air in the cylinder is compressed. The
inlet valve closes and compressed air is forced out into the air receiver. A check
valve prevents it from going back into the pump. Working air is not immediately
available. The pump continues to add air until the air receiver pressure builds to
above the pressure required at the regulator.
 Locate the compressor in a clean, dry and well-ventilated area, on a rm level
surface.
 It should be located 12 to 18 inches (30 to 45cm) from a wall or any other
obstruction that would interfere with the air ow. It is equiped with heat
dissipation ns that allow for proper cooling. Keep them and other parts free of
dust or dirt that could interfere with cooling. A clean compressor runs cooler and
provides longer service.
 Do not place anything on top of the compressor.
 Do not use lead-tin solder to join pipes and ttings. It can melt at the
temperatures of the compressor’s air discharge and cause the piping to burst.
EXTENSION CORDS
If you plan to use an extension cord when operating your air compressor, please
note:
 Maximum length: not to exceed 50 ft. (15m)
 Minimum wire size: 14 gauge.
If the extension cord is too long or the wire size is too small, the air compressor will
not start.
COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION
 CHECK THE OIL quantity and quality before operating the compressor. Do not
add or change oil while the compressor is in operation. Use only oil with the
correct specications.
 With the air compressor on level surface, the oil level should be at the red dot
on the oil level sight glass. If oil level is low, remove oil ll plug/breather cap,
add enough oil to bring level to the red dot. Do not over-ll.
 Replace oil ll plug before starting compressor.
DRAINING THE OIL
1. Remove the oil drain plug (oil level sight glass). Allow oil to drain
completely.
2. Replace the oil drain plug (we recommend the use of a sealing compound
or Teon tape to avoid leakage). Do not over-tighten.
3. Rell with the recommended oil to the red dot in the oil level sight glass.
