4. WARNING – to reduce the risk of electrocution, keep all connections dry and off the ground. Do not touch the plug with wet hands. Assembly Instructions: 1. After opening the carton, please remove all parts and check against photograph on carton. If any parts are missing, please call Alltrade at 1-800-423-3598. 2. Close the drain valve on the bottom of the air tank by turning the valve clockwise until fully closed. 3. Attach the air hose to the compressor regulator valve. Use included Teflon thread-sealing tape on the threads to make sure you have an airtight connection. Do not overtighten fittings. 4. Attach the desired accessory to the end of the hose. Use included Teflon thread-sealing tape on the threads to make sure you have an airtight connection. Do not overtighten fittings. WARNING: READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL PRODUCT FEATURES PRIOR TO OPERATING COMPRESSOR Product Features 1. 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 (see Operating Instructions), the pump motor will automatically shut off. While the switch is in the “I” (ON) position, the pump motor will automatically turn WARNING AVERTISSEM back on once the pressure in the tank drops below the minimum preset pressure. Do not leave the compressor unattended while the power switch is in the “I” (ON) position. 2. REGULATOR: The regulator allows you to select the amount of air pressure that is output through the air hose into tools and accessories. Please refer to the air delivery requirements of your tools for the proper pressure settings. 3. TANK PRESSURE GAUGE: The tank pressure gauge provides a reading of the air pressure inside of the compressor tank. 4. SAFETY VALVE: This compressor is equipped with a safety valve switch that will engage when the pressure in the tank exceeds the maximum rated pressure. DO NOT attempt to modify or remove safety valve. 5. TANK DRAIN FITTING: Water 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 water has drained out, close the fitting securely. NOTE: tank will not pressurize while fitting is open. 6. THERMAL SHUTDOWN SWITCH: The electric motor is equipped with an automatic thermal overload protector. If the unit is overheating, the motor will automatically shut down. Turn the unit off and wait 5-10 minutes before turning the unit back to the “I” (ON) position. If the unit shuts down again, please contact the manufacturer for assistance. Operating Instructions: START UP: 1. Slowly open tank drain by turning clockwise. Allow any water in tank to drain out. Close fitting securely. 2. Before connecting the compressor to the grounded outlet, check for broken components and accessories, and check for damage to the hose. 3. Make sure the power switch is turned “O” (OFF) position. 4. Plug the unit into a grounded outlet. 5. Attach desired tool to the end of the air hose. 6. Turn the switch on the “I” (ON) position. 7. Adjust regulator knob to desired pressure level once the pump has shut off and the compressor has stopped running. STORAGE: 1. Disconnect unit from grounded outlet. 2. Disconnect tools and/or accessories from the air hose. 3. Locate drain valve on bottom side of tank. 4. Open drain valve to release remaining pressurized air and moisture from the air tank. Moisture build-up in the tank is normal with air compressors, so a small amount of water may come out while draining the tank. Draining the tank is vital for the longevity and safety of your air compressor. 5. Close valve and store the compressor in a cool, dry place. MAINTENANCE: 1. This compressor is supplied with a closed lubrication system, so no lubrication is needed. 2. Periodically drain tank of excess moisture. Excess moisture in the tank will result in wear and tear on tools and accessories. 3.Fuse Replacement - Disconnect power cord from electrical outlet prior to fuse replacement. - Replace with 5A 250V Glass Tube Fuse only! 4 5 Troubleshooting: 1. The compressor will not run. Probable cause: 1. No power, or the switch is in the “OFF” position. 2. Motor overheated 3. Tank Pressure at maximum Solutions: 1. Make sure the compressor is plugged in and the switch is in the “ON position. 2. Allow compressor to cool for 5-10 minutes until thermal overload switch resets. 3. Release air from tank 2 .Tank pressure drops when compressor shuts off. Probable cause: 1.Loose drain valve 2.Loose connection at regulator or pressure switch Solutions: 1. Tighten drain valve 2. Check connections for leaks 3. Compressor runs continuously. Probable cause: 1. Excessive water in tank 2. Humidity too high Solutions: 1. Decrease usage or...
