Duty Cycle:
Duty cycle refers to the percentage of time a compressor can safely run within a given amount of time expressed as a ratio. Oil lubricat-
ed compressors are typically rated at a 50% duty cycle, meaning that the compressor motor can run about 50% of the total time it is
being used to supply air to a tool. During the “on” time, the motor is running to pressurize the tank. During the “off” time, the motor is
stopped and the tools are running off on the pressurized air stored in the tank. If your air tools are draining pressure off of the tank too
quickly, the compressor motor must run more than 50% of the time the compressor is in use. This can lead to overheating and will sig-
nificantly shorten the life of the compressor. 
INSTALLATION AND LOCATION
The compressor must be used on a stable level surface. The air compressor must be used in a clean and well-ventilated area. The com-
pressor requires an unobstructed airflow and must be located a minimum of 20 inches from any walls or other obstructions.

							GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an
escape wire for the electric current. This product is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug.
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
Improper installation of the grounding plug can result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord is necessary, do
not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or with-
out yellow stripes is the grounding wire.
This product is for use on a nominal 120-volt circuit and has a three-prong grounding plug that
looks like the plug illustrated in Figure 1. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet
having the same configuration as the plug. No adapter could be used with this product.
The use of a GFCI outlet is strongly recommended. The third prong is to be used to ground the
tool and provide protection against electrical shock. Never remove the third prong.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug
provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Extension Cords- Alltrade does not recommend the use on an extension cord with this product as this may result in the loss of power
and overheating of the motor. An additional air hose should be used instead of an extension cord. 
However, if the use of an extension cord is unavoidable, use only UL listed three wire extension cords that have three-pronged ground-
ing type plugs and three prong receptacles that accept the tools plug. Improper use of extension cords may cause inefficient operation
of your tool, which can result in overheating. Be sure your extension cord is rated to allow sufficient flow to motor. Refer to the guide
below for minimum gauge required for extension cords.
Extension Cord LengthWire Size (A.W.C.)
Up to 25 Feet14
26 to 50 Feet12
51 to 100 Feet10
Use of an extension cord rated to carry the current the tool will draw is very important, especially when the power source is at great
distance. An extension cord of insufficient rating will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in power loss and causing the motor to
overheat.
Guard against electrical shock. Avoid body contact with grounded services such as pipes, radiators, ovens, stoves, and refrigerator
enclosures. If not properly grounded, this power tool can incur the potential hazard of light trickle shock, particularly when used in
damp locations. If an electrical shock occurs, there is the potential of a secondary hazard such as your hands contacting an operating
air tool.

							3.AUTOMATIC ON/OFF PRESSURE SWITCH: This compressor is equipped with an automatic on/off pressure switch. The compressor
will only run when the switch is in the “I” (ON) position. Once the tank has reached the desired preset pressure (“cut-out” pres-
sure), the pump motor will automatically shut off. While the switch is in the “I” (ON) position, the pump motor will automatically
turn back on once the pressure in the tank drops below the minimum preset pressure (“cut-in” pressure).
DO NOT LEAVE THE COMPRESSOR UNATTENDED WHILE THE POWER SWITCH IS IN THE “I” (ON) POSITION.
4.AIR TANK PRESSURE GAUGE:The tank pressure gauge provides a reading of the air pressure inside of the compressor tank.
5.PRESSURE REGULATOR:The regulator allows you to select the amount of air pressure that is output through the air hose into
tools and accessories. Turn the pressure regulator knob clockwise to increase discharge pressure, and counter clockwise to
decrease discharge pressure. Please refer to the air delivery requirements of your tools for the proper pressure settings. NOTICE:
Be careful not to over tighten pressure regulator knob when it “bottoms out” as this may damage pressure regulator.
6.OUTLET PRESSURE GAUGE: The outlet pressure gauge provides a reading of the air pressure at the outlet side of the regulator.
This pressure is controlled by the pressure regulator and is always less than or equal to the air tank pressure.
7.AIR OUTLET PORT: The air outlet port is located on the pressure regulator body. This port is threaded to accommodate standard
1/4 NPT (M) air fittings found on air hoses and quick connectors. Use PTFE thread-sealing tape on the threads to make sure you
have an airtight connection.
8.SAFETY RELIEF VALVE: This compressor is equipped with a safety relief valve that is designed to prevent system failures by reliev-
ing pressure from the system when the air pressure reaches a predetermined level. The safety relieve valve is preset by the manu-
facturer - DO NOT attempt to modify or remove the safety relief valve.
9.AIR TANK DRAIN VALVE: Moisture is produced whenever air is compressed. It is critical to drain water from the air tank on this
