Descriptions
GENERAL
The Powerex reciprocating air compres-
sor has advanced compressor technolo-
gy. The Powerex reciprocating com-
pressor is available in single stage
model. Individually precision machined
cylinders and lap joint rings provide the
lowest oil carryover in the industry. The
onboard cooling fan and finned fly-
wheel create lower operating tempera-
tures.
DRY TYPE INLET FILTER
The inlet filter on the Powerex com-
pressor assures 99% of particulate free
air is admitted to the unit. Change
every 500 hours or more often in dirty
locations.
PISTON RINGS AND CYLINDERS
The Powerex reciprocating compressor
cylinder is made of a 390R cast alloy
construction machined with the most
advanced technology available. These
heat reducing cylinders eliminate the

Breathable Air Warning
This compressor/pump is NOT
equipped and should NOT be used
“as is” to supply breathing quality
air. For any application of air for
human consumption, you must fit
the compressor/pump with suitable
in-line safety and alarm equipment.
This additional equipment is neces-
sary to properly filter and purify
the air to meet minimal specifica-
tions for Grade D breathing as
described in Compressed Gas
Association Commodity
Specification G 7.1 - 1966, OSHA 29
CFR 1910. 134, and/or Canadian
Standards Associations (CSA).
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
In the event the compressor/pump
is used for the purpose of breathing
air application and proper in-line
safety and alarm equipment is not
simultaneously used, existing war-
ranties are void, and Powerex dis-
claims any liability whatsoever for
any loss, personal injury or damage.

DANGER
effect of excessive ring and cylinder
wear. Piston rings should be replaced
every 15,000 hours of operation.
VALVING
Low lift Swedish stainless steel valves
resist carbon build-up and offer out-
standing durability. The reduced num-
ber of valves lessens the risk of failure.
Installation
