							Duty Cycle:
This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously. However, in order to prolong the life of your air compressor, it is recommended
that a 50% to 75% average duty cycle be maintained. Duty cycle refers to the percentage of time a compressor can safely run within a given
amount of time expressed as a ratio. Example: Oil lubricated 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 significantly shorten the life of the compressor.

WITH OR WITHOUT 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. A TEMPORARY ADAPTER SIMILAR TO THE ADAPTER ILLUSTRATED IN SKETCH B AND C (SEE PAGE 5) MAY BE
USED TO CONNECT THIS PLUG TO A 2-POLE RECEPTACLE AS SHOWN IN ILLUSTRATION B WHEN A PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET IS NOT
AVAILABLE. THE TEMPORARY ADAPTER SHALL BE USED ONLY UNTIL A PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET (ILLUSTRATION A) IS INSTALLED BY A
QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN. TAB FOR GROUNDING SCREW, LUG, OR SIMILAR PART EXTENDING FROM THE ADAPTER MUST BE CONNECTED
TO A PERMANENT GROUND SUCH AS A PROPERLY GROUNDED OUTLET BOX COVER. WHENEVER THE ADAPTER IS USED, IT MUST BE HELD
IN PLACE BY A METAL SCREW.
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
THE USE OF AN EXTENSION CORD WITH THIS PRODUCT IS NOT RECOMMENDEDas this can result in the loss of power to your air
compressor which can prevent the motor from starting or running properly. This can also cause your fuse to blow or circuit breaker to trip.
Running your air compressor on an undersized extension cord will cause permanent damage to internal switches and overheating of the 
electric motor. Use an additional length of air hose rather than an extension cord.
If you must use an extension cord, it should be plugged into a GFCI found in circuit boxes or protected receptacles. Use only UL listed 3-wire
extension cords that have a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the product. Make sure your extension
cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current your product will draw. Refer to
the guide below for minimum gauge required for extension cords.
Use only extension cords that are intended for outdoor use. These cords are identified by a marking “ACCEPTABLE FOR USE WITH OUTDOOR
APPLIANCES, STORE INDOORS WHEN NOT IN USE.” Examine extension cord before use. DO NOT USE DAMAGED EXTENSION CORDS. Do not
pull on cord to disconnect from receptacle; always disconnect by pulling on plug. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always shut OFF
the air compressor AUTO/ON pressure switch before unplugging the compressor. Always disconnect the extension cord from the receptacle
before disconnecting the product from the extension cord.
AVOID ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. NEVER USE THIS COMPRESSOR WITH A DAMAGED OR FRAYED 
ELECTRICAL CORD OR EXTENSION CORD. INSPECT ALL ELECTRICAL CORDS REGULARLY. 
NEVER USE IN OR NEAR WATER OR IN ANY ENVIRONMENT WHERE ELECTRIC SHOCK IS POSSIBLE. 
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF ELECTROCUTION, KEEP ALL CONNECTIONS DRY AND OFF THE GROUND. 
DO NOT TOUCH THE PLUG WITH WET HANDS.
Guard against electrical shock. Avoid body contact with grounded services such as pipes, ovens, stoves, and refrigerator enclosures. If not
properly grounded, this air compressor can incur the potential hazard of light trickle shock, particularly when used in damp locations. If
electrical shock occurs, there is the potential of secondary hazard such as your hands contacting an operating air tool.

							COMPRESSOR FEATURES
OIL LUBRICATION: Oil lubricated direct drive pump with cast-iron cylinder for durability.
OIL FILL SIGHT GLASS: Located on the face of the crankcase, the oil fill sight glass provides a convenient way to check the oil fill level
within the pump. The oil level must be checked prior to each use to ensure proper fill level.
DO NOT OPERATE THE COMPRESSOR WITHOUT LUBRICANT, OR WITH LOW LUBRICATION LEVEL. THE MANUFACTURER IS NOT
RESPONSIBLE FOR DAMAGE CAUSED TO THE COMPRESSOR DUE TO OPERATION WITHOUT PROPER LUBRICATION.
AUTOMATIC ON/OFF PRESSURE SWITCH: This compressor is equipped with an automatic ON/OFFpressure switch. The compressor will
only run when the switch is in the ON/AUTO position. Once the tank has reached the desired preset pressure (“cut-out” pressure), the
pump motor will automatically shut off. While the switch is in the ON/AUTO 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 ON/AUTO POSITION.
INSTRUMENT PANEL: Top mounted instrument panel provides easy access.
AIR TANK PRESSURE GAUGE: The tank pressure gauge provides a reading of the air pressure inside of the compressor tank.
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 overtighten pressure regulator knob when it “bottoms out” as this may damage pressure regulator.
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.
DUAL AIR OUTLET PORTS: The air outlet ports are located on the pressure manifold behind the instrument panel. These ports feature
quick connect couplers that are preinstalled into standard 1/4 NPT (F) threads in the pressure manifold. Use PTFE thread-sealing tape 
on the threads to make sure you have an airtight connection when replacing quick connect couplers.
SAFETY RELIEF VALVE: This compressor is equipped with a safety relief valve that is designed to prevent system failures by relieving
pressure from the system when the air pressure reaches a predetermined level. The safety relief valve is preset by the manufacturer. 
DO NOT attempt to modify or remove the safety relief valve.
AIR TANK DRAIN VALVE: Moisture is produced whenever air is compressed. It is critical to drain water from the air tank on this
compressor frequently. If unit is used only occasionally, tank should be drained after each use and prior to the next use. To drain the tank,
slowly open the tank drain fitting by turning clockwise. Once all moisture has drained out, close the fitting securely. NOTE:Air tank will
not pressurize while drain valve is open.
AIR INTAKE FILTER: This compressor is equipped with an externally accessible air intake filter that is designed to clean air coming into the
pump. The filter element is easily removed for periodic cleaning. Use compressed air to blow loose dirt and debris from the paper filter
element and reinstall. Replace paper filter element when necessary.
A dirty air filter will reduce air compressor performance and can lead to product failure.
