Resumen del manual
The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow for proper cooling. The ventilation openings on the compressor are necessary to maintain proper operating temperature. Do not place rags or other containers on or near these openings. 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 portable air compressor is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding plug (see following illustrations). The plug must be used with an outlet that has been installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. 1. The cord set and plug with this unit contains a grounding pin. This plug MUST be used with a grounded outlet. IMPORTANT: The outlet being used must be installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. 2. Make sure the outlet being used has the same configuration as the grounded plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER. See illustration. 3. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are signs of damage. 4. If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electrician. IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Do not modify the plug provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, a correct outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician. Repairs to the cord set or plug MUST be made by a qualified electrician. Grounding Pin Grounded Outlets Plug 9 - ENG D26126 Extension Cords Using extension cords is not recommended. The use of extension cords will cause voltage to drop resulting in power loss to the motor and overheating. Attach extra air hoses at the air outlet instead of using extension cords. 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 product • in good condition • no longer than 50 feet • 12 gauge (AWG) or larger. (Wire size increases as gauge number decreases. 10 AWG and 8 AWG may also be used. DO NOT USE 14 OR 16 AWG.) Voltage and Circuit Protection Refer to the Specification Chart for the voltage and minimum branch circuit requirements. Certain air compressors can be operated on a 15 amp circuit if the following conditions are met. 1. Voltage supply through branch circuit is 15 amps. 2. Circuit is not used to supply any other electrical needs (lights, appliances, etc.). 3. Extension cords comply with specifications. 4. Circuit is equipped with a 15 amp circuit breaker or 15 amp time delay fuse. NOTE: If compressor is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use only time delay fuses. Time delay fuses should be marked "D" in Canada and "T" in the US. If any of the above conditions cannot be met, or if operation of the compressor repeatedly causes interruption of the power, it may be necessary to operate it from a 20 amp circuit. It is not necessary to change the cord set. D26126 10 - ENG DESCRIPTION OF OPERATION Know Your Air Compressor READ THIS OWNER’S MANUAL AND SAFETY RULES BEFORE OPERATING YOUR UNIT. Compare the illustrations with your unit to familiarize yourself with the location of various controls and adjustments. Save this manual for future reference. Outlet Pressure Gauge Safety Valve Pressure Switch RegulatorTank Pressure Gauge On/Auto/Off Switch Quick Connect Description of Operation Become familiar with these controls before operating the unit. On/Auto/Off Switch: Turn this switch ON to provide automatic power to the pressure switch and OFF to remove power at the end of each use. Pressure Switch: The pressure switch automatically starts the motor when the air tank pressure drops below the factory set "cut-in” pressure. It stops the motor when the air tank pressure reaches the factory set "cut-out” pressure. Safety Valve: If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its "cut-out” pressure setting, the safety valve will protect against high pressure by "popping out” at its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch "cut-out” setting). Outlet Pressure Gauge: The outlet pressure gauge indicates the air pressure available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the regulator and is always less than or equal to the tank pressure. Tank Pressure Gauge: The tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank. Regulator: Controls the air pressure shown on the outlet pressure gauge. Pull the knob out and turn clockwise to increase pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease pressure. When the desired pressure is reached push knob in to lock in place. Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of each use.
