Electrical Safety
Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet
that itself is properly installed and grounded.
Grounding provides a low-resistance path to
carry electricity to the ground and away from the
operator, should the tool malfunction electrically.
Do not remove the grounding prong from the
plug or alter the plug in any way. If in doubt as to
whether the outlet is properly grounded according
to code, check with a qualied electrician.
Observe proper precautions regarding double
insulation. This tool is double insulated. It is
equipped with a polarized plug. One blade is
wider than the other, so it will t into a polarized

Safety precautions for compressor components
Air only: use this compressor for compressing air
only. Do not compress other gases.
Tank safety valve: this valve prevents damage to
the air receiver if a malfunction in the compressor
pump occurs. It is factory pre-set at a limit
specic to your particular model and adjustment.
Do not tamper with it. This will automatically
void your warranty.
Pressure switch: the air pressure switch is factory
pre-set for optimum performance. Do not bypass
or remove this switch. Serious damage to
equipment or personal injury could result from
too high an air pressure.
Motor and compressor pump: air compressors
get hot during operation. Do not touch the
motor, discharge tubing, or compressor while
it is running. The compressor turns itself on
automatically while the power is connected.
Air tanks: over-pressurizing the air receivers,
piping or tanks could cause it to explode or burst.
To protect from over-pressurizing, the compressor
is equipped with a factory preset safety valve. Do
not remove, make adjustments to or substitutions
for this valve. Perform a test of the valve from
time to time: pull the ring on the valve to make
sure that it operates freely. If the valve does not
operate freely, replace it before further use. Never
weld to, drill into, or change the air receivers in
any way.
Tampering: if any of the components above are
found to have been changed or tampered with, the
warranty will be made void. When servicing, we
recommend using only identical replacement parts
and any replacement parts used must have the
same specication as the original equipment.
Smoking. Do not smoke while operating. To
avoid starting a re or setting off an explosion,
never spray where any sparks or ame is present.
The warnings, cautions, and instructions detailed in this manual cannot cover all
possible conditions and situations that occur. It must be understood by the operator
that COMMON SENSE AND CAUTION ARE FACTORS that cannot be built into
this product, but MUST BE SUPPLIED BY THE OPERATOR.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
Your new air compressor can be used for operating paint, weed killer, and insecticide
sprayers, air tools, grease & caulking guns, sandblasters, ination, etc. 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 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 through the discharge valve, through the check valve and into the air receiver.
A check valve prevents it from going back into the pump. Working air is not immediately
available. Air becomes available for use when the receiver pressure is above that required by
the regulator at the air service connection. The pump continues to add air until the air receiver
pressure builds to the factory preset cut-out pressure of the pressure switch.
The air inlet lter openings must be kept clear of obstructions or else it could reduce air
delivery.
SET-UP
After removing it from the carton, and before you can use your compressor,
l check for possible shipping damage to the unit and its components
WARNING
!If you discover any damage, do not operate the compressor until it
is repaired. Failure to do so could result in possible serious injury.
l check for missing parts and components
WARNING
!If any parts are missing, do not operate the compressor until they
have been replaced. Failure to do so could result in possible serious injury.
l add oil preparatory to using your compressor
l retain packing materials until inspection is complete and the compressor runs
satisfactorily
You will need:
l 8 .oz. SAE-20 or SAE-10 non-detergent compressor oil
l small at screwdriver
AIR FILTER INSTALLATION
1. Loosely thread the Air inlet lter / mufer
(K, g.1 & 2) into the hole in the side of the
cylinder head (g.2).
2. To tighten it, use a 24 mm open-end or
combination wrench on the hexagonal
surfaces of the threaded end of the lter,
rather than using your hand on the light
metal housing, which can deform or break
off easily.

OIL
WARNING
! This compressor requires oil of
the correct type and quantity to run. Do not
start it without rst following all the steps in
this section.
1. Be sure the compressor is on a level
surface.
2. With the screwdriver, pry off and remove
the shipping plug from the top of the
crankcase
(Q, g.3) revealing the oil ll hole.
3. Through this hole, ll the oil reservoir
with SAE-20 (API CG/CD heavy duty),
non-detergent compressor oil. In extreme
winter conditions, use lighter SAE-10
weight.
4. There may be some oil left over from the
manufacturing process already in the
reservoir.
5. Check the oil level sight glass (N, g.1 &
3). The oil should show level with the red
dot in the centre of the viewing window. Be
careful not to overll.
6. Find the oil ll plug (L in g.1 & 4). It is
usually shipped separately from the
compressor and enclosed with this manual. Be sure there is a rubber O-ring on
the upper part of the threaded end.
7. Put a little pipe thread sealing tape on the threaded end of the oil ll plug.
8. Gently screw the oil breather cap into the oil ll hole. Do not cross-thread or
overtighten.
NOTE Before installing and using this unit, inspect carefully for damage
and corrosion. Make sure the tank, compressor, motor and pump are
undamaged and that all screws and caps are securely tightened.
INSTALLATION AND LOCATION
Locate the compressor in a clean, dry and well-ventilated area; on a rm, level surface. It
should be located 12 to 18 inches 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.
10
WARNING
! 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.
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
l Check the specication label and be sure the compressor’s voltage and
amperage requirements match the electrical supply capabilities.
l Plug your compressor into an electrical outlet on dedicated 15 amp household
circuit. The closer the outlet is to the circuit panel, the more reliable the
compressor starting and performance will be. Other devices running on the
same circuit may cause starting problems.
l Ideally, the electrical supply circuit should be protected by a circuit breaker
rather than a fuse. If a fuse is necessary, a dual element time delay fuse should
be used.
EXTENSION CORDS
If you plan to use an extension cord when operating your air compressor, please note:
l Maximum length: not to exceed 50 ft. (15 m)
l Minimum wire size: 14 gauge.
l If the extension cord is too long or the wire size is too small, the air compressor
will not start.
COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION
1. CHECK THE OIL quantity and quality every time before operating the
compressor. Do not add or change oil while the compressor is in operation.
Use only oil with the correct specications
2. With the air compressor on level surface, the oil level should be at the red dot
on the oil level sight glass (N, g.1 & 5).
3. If oil level is low, remove oil ll plug, add enough oil to bring level to the red dot.
Do not over-ll.
4. Replace oil ll plug before starting compressor.
