Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
Maintenance
Disconnect power
source then release
all pressure from the
system before attempting to
install, service, relocate or perform
any maintenance. Service should be
performed by an authorized service
representative.
The compressor should be checked
often for any visible problems and the
following maintenance procedures
should be performed each time the
compressor is used.
ASME SAFETY VALVE
Do not remove or
attempt to adjust
the safety valve!
Figure 3
Check the safety valve by performing
the following steps:
1. Plug the compressor in and run until
shut off pressure is reached (see
Operating Procedure).
2. Wearing safety glasses, pull the ring
on the safety valve (see Figure 3) to
release pressure from compressor
tank. Use your other hand to deflect
fast-moving air from being directed
toward your face.
3. The safety valve should
automatically close at approximately
40 - 50 psi. If the safety valve does
not allow air to be released when
you pull on the ring, or if it does
not close automatically, it MUST be
replaced.
Safety valve must
be replaced if it
cannot be actuated or it leaks air
after ring is released.

DRAIN TANK
With compressor shut off and pressure
released: Drain moisture from tank by
opening drain valve underneath tank
(See Figure 4).

CLEANING
Turn power OFF and clean dust and
dirt from motor, tank, air lines and
pump cooling fins.
IMPORTANT: Unit should be located
as far from spraying area as hose will
allow to prevent over-spray from
clogging air filter.
AIR FILTER
Check air filter to be sure it is clean.
To service a filter, remove the filter
housing cover. Remove filter and
clean in hot, soapy water (Paper
filters cannot be washed). Rinse and
let dry. Replace air filters that cannot
be cleaned. Place filter back in the
housing base. Replace cover.
LUBRICATION
This is an oilless type compressor
requiring no lubrication.

END OF OPERATION/STORAGE
1. Turn ON/OFF switch (
position (
2. Unplug power cord from wall
outlet and wrap around handle to
prevent damage when not in use.
3. Wearing safety glasses drain tank
of air by pulling the ring on the
safety valve. Use other hand to
deflect fast moving air from being
directed toward your face.
4. Drain tank of condensation by
opening drain valve on bottom
of tank. Tank pressure should be
below 10 psi when draining tank.
5. Air hose should be disconnected
from compressor and hung open
ends down to allow any moisture to
drain.
6. Compressor and hose should be
stored in a cool, dry place.
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, located as near to
the gun as possible, will help eliminate
this moisture.
