The pressure adjusting valve can be used to set approximate pressure between 10 and 125 P.S.I. (125 P.S.I. is the highest pressure this compressor will deliver). It is normal for the adjustable pressure valve to release air during operation. ALWAYS SET THE PRESSURE VALVE AT OR BELOW THE REQUIRED PRESSURE FOR THE ACCESSORY BEING USED BEFORE STARTING YOUR COMPRESSOR. FOR INFLATION OR OTHER USES REQUIRING ACCURATE PRESSURE, USE A PRESSURE GAUGE. INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES Location of the Air Compressor Your compressor comes to you completely assembled and ready for use. Operate the air compressor in a dry, clean, cool and well ventilated area. The air compressor pump and case are designed to allow for proper cooling. Clean or blow off dust or dirt that collects on the air compressor. A clean air compressor runs cooler and provides longer service. The ventilation openings on your air compressor are necessary to maintain proper operating temperature. Do not place rags or other containers on or near these openings. Extension Cords Use extra air hose instead of an extension cord to avoid voltage drop and power loss to the motor. Low voltage can cause damage to the motor. If an extension cord must be used, be sure it is: • a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept the plug on the compressor • in good condition • no longer than 50 feet •14 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number decreases.) 12 AWG, 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 16 OR 18 AWG. GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! In the event of a short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current. This air compressor must be properly grounded. The air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be used with an outlet that has been installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. The outlet must have the same configuration as the plug. See illustration. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are signs of damage. IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK. 6 — ENG INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES Do not modify the plug that has been provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, the correct outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician. If repairing or replacing cord or plug, the grounding wire must be kept separate from the current-carrying wires. Never connect the grounding wire to a flat blade plug terminal. The grounding wire has insulation with an outer surface that is green - with or without yellow stripes. If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the compres sor is properly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electrician. 120 Volts, 15 Amps 120 Volt Models Air Hose The air hose attached to your compressor has an integral pressure adjusting valve at the working end of the hose. Should service or replacement be required, make sure that the pressure adjusting valve is present in the air hose line. It is normal for the adjustable pressure valve to release air during operation. DO NOT REPLACE THE HOSE WITH STANDARD HOSE THAT IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH THE PRESSURE ADJUSTING VALVE. THE APPROPRIATE HOSE ASSEMBLY FOR YOUR COMPRESSOR IS AVAILABLE AT SEARS. Do not allow hose to become kinked or pinched at any time. This is important to avoid damage to your compressor and to maintain pressure adjusting valve control. OPERATING PROCEDURES 1. Before plugging in the air compressor, set the adjustable pressure valve to "10" PSI. Make sure the "ON/ OFF" switch is in the "OFF" position. 2. Connect the air tool or accessory to the air hose. Tighten securely. 3. Plug the power cord into the grounded outlet. 4. Start the compressor by setting the "ON/OFF" switch to the "ON" position. TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE COULD CAUSE AN AIR TOOL OR VEHICLE TIRE TO RUPTURE OR EXPLODE. CAREFULLY FOLLOW STEPS 5 AND 6 EACH TIME YOU USE YOUR COMPRESSOR. 5. Check the manufacturer's maximum pressure rating for the air tool, accessory or vehicle tire being used. The air compressor outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating. 6. Slowly increase the pressure setting of the adjustable pressure valve. You should be able to hear and feel air pressure being relieved by the adjustable pressure valve. If pressure is not being relieved, turn the air compressor off immediately. The pressure valve must be replaced. Compressed air from the outfit may contain water condensation. Do not spray unfiltered air at an item that could be damaged by moisture. Some air operated tools or devices may require filtered air. Read the instructions for the air tool or device. 7 — ENG STORAGE When you have finished using the air compressor: 1. Set the "ON/OFF" switch to "OFF" and unplug the 3.
