Operating Instructions
General Safety
(Continued)
18. Use a face
mask/respirator when
spraying and spray in
a well ventilated area
to prevent health
and fire hazards.
19. Do not direct paint or other sprayed
material at the compressor. Locate
compressor as far away from the
spraying area as possible to minimize
overspray accumulation on the
compressor.
20. When spraying with solvent of toxic
chemicals, follow instructions
provided by the chemical
manufacturer.
Assembly
HOSE (MAY NOT BE SUPPLIED WITH
UNIT)
Use an air hose with at least 140 PSI
rating. Assemble the hose to hose
connector or manifold and tighten snugly
with a wrench.
Preparation
LUBRICATION
THIS UNIT
NOTICE
CONTAINS NO OIL!
Fill the crankcase to the full line on the
dipstick before turning unit on. Crankcase
requires 7.1 fluid oz. (210 ml) of oil to fill.
Operating without oil, even for just a few
seconds will damage the pump.
Use Chevron synthetic 5W-30, Mobil 1
5W-30 or 0W-30 synthetic motor oil in this
compressor. Using other types of oil will
cause starting problems.
1. Check and tighten all bolts, fittings,
etc., before operating compressor.
2. Operate compressor in a ventilated
area so that compressor may be
properly cooled.
3. Locate compressor on a level surface
where it can be directly plugged

into an outlet. If accidentally
bumped, ensure compressor will
not fall on anyone or anything.
4. If extension cord is used, refer to
chart on page 3 to select the
appropriate cord.
5. To avoid loss of power and
overheating, use additional air hose
instead of extension cords to reach
work area.
WIRING
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.
NOTE: This compressor unit may be
operated on a 115 volt, 15 amp circuit
if the following conditions are met:
1. No other electrical appliances or
lights are connected to the same
branch circuit.
2. Voltage supply is normal.
3. Extension cords are of the minimum
gauge specified in this instruction
manual.
4. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp
circuit breaker or a 15 amp slow
blow type fuse.
If previous conditions cannot be met or
if nuisance tripping of current
protection device occurs, operate
compressor from a 115 volt, 20 amp
circuit.
CAUTION
!
Overheating, short
circuiting and fire
damage will result from
inadequate wiring, etc.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. This product must be grounded. In
the event of an electrical short
circuit, grounding reduces risk of
electrical shock by providing an
escape wire for electric current. This

DANGER
!
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.
