Operator Safety
Equipment Description
Read this manual carefully and become familiar
with your air compressor. Know its applications, its
limitations and any hazards involved.
This manual contains operation and maintenance information
for a single-stage air compressor that produces 11.0 CFM at
40 PSI (2.8 bars) and 9.3 CFM at 90 PSI (6.2 bars) using an
internal combustion engine. This high quality system
features a belt drive oil lubricated pump with cast iron
sleeve, an easy start valve, and two air outlets.
This air compressor has been manufactured to provide an
adequate volume of compressed air for operating a variety of
light-duty air tools (hand grinders, nailers, ratchets,
staplers), spraying equipment, and inflators requiring less
than 11.0 CFM air flow for operation. Operate this
compressor ONLY in an ambient temperature range from
32° to 95°F (0° to 35°C). Operate this compressor ONLY on
a level surface to avoid lubrication problems. This
compressor is designed for a maximum of 70% duty per
hour at full load.
This air compressor is not intended for use in mobile
equipment or marine applications.
Every effort has been made to ensure that information in this
manual is accurate and current. However, we reserve the
right to change, alter or otherwise improve the product and
this document at any time without prior notice.
