Assembly
(Con't)
Repeat on the opposite side.
3. When assembled, the tank must sit
level or slope slightly towards the
drain cock to allow the tank to
drain properly.
Installation
LOCATION
It is extremely important to install the
compressor in a clean, well ventilated area
where the surrounding air temperature
will not be more than 100°F.
A minimum clearance of 18 inches
between the compressor and a wall is
required because objects could
obstruct air flow.
Do not locate the

inlet near steam, paint spray, sandblast
areas or any other source of
contamination. This debris will damage
the motor.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
All wiring and
WARNING
!
electrical
connections should be performed by a
qualified electrician. Installation must be
in accordance with local codes and
national electrical codes.
CAUTION
!
Never use an extension
cord with this product. Use
additional air hose instead
of an extension cord to
avoid power loss and permanent motor
damage. Use of an extension cord voids
the warranty.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
1. This product is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug illustrated
in Fig. 3. Make sure the product is
connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug. 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 product is
equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire with an appropriate
grounding plug. Plug must be plugged
into an outlet that is properly installed
and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.

with this product!
2. If repair or replacement of cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect grounding
wire to either flat blade terminal. The
wire with insulation having an external
surface that is green (with or without
yellow stripes) is the grounding wire.

3. Check with a qualified electrician or
serviceman if grounding instructions
are not completely understood, or if in
doubt as to whether product is
properly grounded. Do not modify

have proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
WIRING
1. 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.
2. Use a slow blow fuse or a circuit
breaker.
CAUTION
!
damage will result from inadequate
wiring, etc.
NOTE: 120 volt, 15 amp units can be
operated on a 120 volt circuit under the
following conditions:
a. No other electrical appliances or lights

b. Voltage supply is normal.
c. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp

fuse.
3. If these conditions cannot be met or if
nuisance tripping of current
protection device occurs, it may be
necessary to operate compressor from
a 120 volt, 20 amp circuit.
Operation
Pressure Switch - Auto/Off Switch - In
the AUTO position, the compressor
shuts off automatically when tank
pressure reaches the maximum preset
pressure. In the OFF position, the
compressor will not operate. This
switch should be in the OFF position
when connecting or disconnecting the
power cord from the electrical outlet
or when changing air tools.
Regulator - The regulator controls the
amount of air pressure released at the
hose outlet.
ASME Safety Valve - This valve
automatically releases air if the tank
pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
Discharge Tube - This tube carries
compressed air from the pump to the
check valve. This tube becomes very
hot during use. To avoid the risk of
severe burns, never touch the
discharge tube.
Check Valve - A one-way valve that
allows air to enter the tank, but
prevents air in the tank from flowing
back into the compressor pump.
Handle - Designed to move the
compressor.
Never use the
WARNING
!
handle on wheeled
units to lift the unit completely off the
ground.
Drain Petcock - This valve is located on
the bottom of the tank. Use this valve
to drain moisture from the tank daily
to reduce the risk of corrosion.
Reduce tank pressure below 10 PSI,
then drain moisture from tank daily to
avoid tank corrosion. Drain moisture
