1. MAINTENANCE 4 WARNING Disconnect air compressor from power source and bleed off all air pressure before attempting any maintenance or repair SHUTDOWN AND STORAGE NOTE NEVER stop the air compressor by unplugging it from the power outlet as this may result in damage to the compressor 1 Turn the switch to the OFF position 2 Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet by grabbing the plug not the cord Loop around electric cord holder for storage 3 Turn the pressure regulator knob fully counterclockwise to close airflow from air outlet port Check the outlet pressure gauge to ensure that it reads 0 PSI 4 Remove the air hose and any air accessories 5 Drain moisture from the air tank by slowly opening the air tank drain valve by turning counter clockwise Tilt tank to remove all moisture Once all the mois ture has drained out close the fitting securely 6 Allow the compressor to cool down 7 Wipe the air compressor clean and store it in a clean dry and non freezing location WHEN PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR SERVICE 1 The air compressor must be turned off 2 Disconnect compressor from the power source 3 Open tank drain to bleed off all air pressure before attempting any maintenance or repair 4 Allow compressor to fully cool before attempting any maintenance or repair Check the air compressor frequently for any vis2. SOLUTION Limit the air pressure to the capacity of the air compressor Either use a smaller tool or a larger air compressor SOLUTION Tighten fittings where air can be heard escaping Check fittings with soapy water solution DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN INSUFFICIENT PRESSURE AT AIR TOOL OR AIR ACCESSORY PROBABLE CAUSE SOLUTION 15 Pressure regulator knob is not turned to high enough pressure Defective motor ON OFF switch Air leaks Hose or hose connections are too small or long Air compressor is not large enough for air requirement MOISTURE IN DISCHARGE AIR PROBABLE CAUSE Condensation in air tank caused by high level of atmospheric humidity or air compressor is not running long enough Adjust pressure regulator knob to proper setting Replace Check for leaks by applying soap solution to all fittings and connections Bubbles will appear at leakage points Tighten or replace leaking fittings or connections as needed Replace with larger hose or connectors Check the accessory air requirement If it is higher than the CFM or pressure supply of the air compressor you need a larger air compressor SOLUTION Drain tank after every use Drain air tank more often in humid weather and use an air line filter 16
3. ible problems and follow mainte nance procedures each time the compressor is used MAINTENANCE CHECKLIST Daily e Drain accumulated liquid from tank e Check for unusual noise and or vibrations e Check that all fasteners are secure e Wipe compressor clean 14 Monthly e Check for air leaks MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR Moisture is a normal by product of compressing air As the moisture builds during compressor use it can be carried though the air hose When using paint spray gun or sandblasting gun the use of a special filter to remove moisture from the air line is highly recommended Moisture in the compressed air will cause water spots in paint jobs and cause blasting media to clog the sandblasting gun TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE THE COMPRESSOR DOES NOT START OR RESTART PROBABLE CAUSE Power cord not plugged in Motor Pressure switch in OFF position Wrong gauge wire or length of extension cord Air tank pressure exceeds motor pressure switch cut in pressure SOLUTION Plug cord into grounded outlet Move switch to AUTO position Check chart in instruction manual for proper gauge wire and cord length Motor will start automatically when air tank pressure drops below cut in pressure of motor pressure switch WHEN IN THE START STOP OPTION MOTOR RUNS CONTINUOUSLY PROBABLE CAUSE Air compressor is incorrectly sized AIR LEAKS AT FITTINGS PROBABLE CAUSE Fittings are not tight enough
