injury. Follow the manufacturers recommended pressure settings for all air  
tools and air accessories.  
INSTALLATION AND LOCATION  
RISK TO BREATHING  
This air compressor is not designed, nor intended for the supply of breathable  
quality air. Air produced by this unit may contain carbon monoxide or other  
toxic vapors. Do not inhale air from the compressor or from a breathing  
device connected to it.  
Operate the air compressor in a well-ventilated area. Read and follow all safe-  
ty instructions for the material you are spraying. Be sure to use an approved  
respirator designed for use with your specific application.  
In order to avoid damaging the air compressor, do not allow the unit to be tilt-  
ed more than 10º from the normal horizontal position when operating.  
The compressor must be run with the rubber feet resting on a flat and stable  
horizontal surface.  
The air compressor must be used in a clean and well-ventilated area. The com-  
pressor requires an unobstructed airflow and must be located a minimum of 20  
inches from any walls or other obstructions that may prevent proper ventilation.  
RISK OF BURNS  
Touching exposed metal such as the compressor head or exhaust tube can  
result in serious burns. Keep hands and fingers away from exposed metal parts  
on air compressor during or immediately after operation. Air compressors gen-  
erate significant heat during normal operation and will remain hot for some time  
after use. Do not reach around protective shrouds or attempt any maintenance  
until compressor has been allowed to cool.

WHEN IN THE START/STOP OPTION, MOTOR RUNS CONTINUOUSLY:  
5. Remove the face of the filter body to access the filter element by removing  
screw holding filter in place.  
PROBABLE CAUSE:  
SOLUTION:  
Motor/Pressure switch does  
not shut off motor when air  
compressor reaches "cut-out"  
pressure and safety relief  
valve activates  
Move the motor/pressure switch to the OFF  
position. If the motor does not shut off,  
unplug the air compressor. If the electrical  
contacts are welded together, replace the  
pressure switch.  
6. Use compressed air to blow loose dirt and debris from the paper filter element.  
Replace filter element if it cannot be cleaned sufficiently.  
7. Reinsert filter element into filter body and reinstall filter faceplate.  
MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR  
Air compressor is incorrectly  
sized.  
Limit the air pressure to the capacity of the air  
compressor. Either use a smaller tool or a  
larger air compressor.  
Moisture is a normal by-product of compressing air. As the moisture builds during  
compressor use, it can be carried though the air hose. When using paint spray gun  
or sandblasting gun, the use of a special filter to remove moisture from the air line  
is highly recommended. Moisture in the compressed air will cause water spots in  
paint jobs and cause blasting media to clog the sandblasting gun.

AIR CONTINUES TO LEAK AT MOTOR/PRESSURE SWITCH RELEASE VALVE  
AFTER MOTOR STOPS:  
INSUFFICIENT PRESSURE AT AIR TOOL OR AIR ACCESSORY:  
PROBABLE CAUSE:  
SOLUTION:  
PROBABLE CAUSE:  
SOLUTION:  
Pressure regulator knob is  
not turned to high enough  
pressure.  
Adjust pressure regulator knob to proper setting.  
Defective pilot valve, the check Remove, clean or replace.  
valve is stuck open.  
Defective motor/pressure  
regulator switch.  
Restricted air intake filter.  
Air leaks.  
Replace.  
AIR CONTINUES TO LEAK AT MOTOR/PRESSURE SWITCH RELEASE VALVE  
WHILE MOTOR IS RUNNING:  
Clean or replace the filter element.  
Check for leaks by applying soap solution to  
all fittings and connections. Bubbles will  
appear at leakage points. Tighten or replace  
leaking fittings or connections as needed.  
PROBABLE CAUSE:  
SOLUTION:  
Defective motor/pressure switch Replace.  
Check valve stuck in open  
position.  
Replace check valve.  
DANGER  
Do not disassemble the check valve  
Hose or hose connections  
are too small or long.  
Air compressor is not large  
enough for air requirement.  
Replace with larger hose or connectors.  
with tank pressurized. Open tank petcock  
valve to allow air to escape from tank prior to  
servicing.  
Check the accessory air requirement. If it is  
higher than the CFM or pressure supply of the  
air compressor, you need a larger air  
compressor.  
AIR LEAKS FROM SAFETY RELIEF VALVE:  
PROBABLE CAUSE:  
SOLUTION:  
Possible defective safety  
relief valve.  
Excessive tank pressure.  
Operate safety relief valve manually by pulling  
on ring. If it still leaks, it should be replaced.  
Defective motor/pressure switch. Replace.  
MOISTURE IN DISCHARGE AIR:  
PROBABLE CAUSE:  
SOLUTION:  
Condensation in air tank  
caused by high level of  
atmospheric humidity or air  
compressor is not running  
long enough.  
Drain tank after every use. Drain air tank  
more often in humid weather and use  
an air line filter.  
AIR LEAKS AT FITTINGS:  
PROBABLE CAUSE:  
SOLUTION:  
Fittings are not tight enough.  
Tighten fittings where air can be heard  
escaping. Check fittings with soapy water  
solution. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.  
AIR LEAKS IN AIR TANK:  
PROBABLE CAUSE:  
SOLUTION:  
Defective or rusted air tank.  
Air tank must be replaced. DO NOT ATTEMPT  
TO REPAIR AIR TANK!  
AIR BLOWING FROM INLET FILTER:  
PROBABLE CAUSE:  
SOLUTION:  
Damaged inlet (reed) valve.
