Assembly (Continued)
adding oil gradually and checking the
oil level with the sight glass several
times. Add enough oil to reach the
“max” level on the sight glass. Proper
oil level is illustrated in Figure 1.
INTAKE FILTER
Thread the intake air filter into the
threaded opening in the side of the
compressor head as illustrated in
Figure 2. Tighten gently with a wrench.
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 compressor air inlet near steam,
paint spray, sandblast areas or any
other source of contamination. This
debris will damage the motor.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
All
wiring
and electrical connections should be
performed by a qualified electrician.
Installation must be in accordance with
local codes and national electrical
codes.
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.
3. This product is for use on a nominal
120 volt circuit and has a grounding
plug that looks like the plug
illustrated in Figure 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.
Overheating, short circuiting and fire
damage will result from inadequate
wiring.
Operation
•Pressure Switch - Auto/Off Switch
(Figure 5) - 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.
