pressor with a premium quality, 30-weight,

non-detergent oil before each use. Running

the Air Compressor with no oil or low oil will

cause damage to the equipment. Note: The oil

Unpacking

When unpacking, check to make sure all parts are included. Refer to the Assembly Drawing and Parts

List at the end of this manual. If any parts are missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight Tools at the number

on the cover of this manual as soon as possible.

Note: There is a square black plastic shipping insert that is placed between the Shroud and the Cylinder

Head. You must remove it before turning on the compressor. See Assembly Diagram page 8.

Assembly

The Wheels need to be assembled to the Air Compressor. Insert the Axle (54) through one of the Wheels

(55). With these two assembled together, insert Axle (54) through the bracket on the bottom of the Tank Assembly

(50). Slide on Washer (56) and the Lock Washer (57) and tighten with the Nut (58). Once assembled, roll the

Air Compressor to test the operation of the wheels. Periodically check to insure that wheel and axle hardware

is secure. Next connect the Rubber Foot (52) to the compressor. Secure it using Bolt (51), Washer (60), and Nut

(61). See Assembly Diagram page 8.

Before Operation Check

To assist you with operation, please refer to the Assembly Diagram and Parts List located on pages 6, 7 and

Warning: Fill with compressor oil before using;

running with NO OIL or LOW OIL voids warranty.

Checking the Oil

Make certain to add compressor oil prior to operation. The Oil Fill Plug and Oil Sight is shown on the

illustration on page 6. Only use a good quality, 30-weight, non-detergent compressor oil.

Change the oil after every 500 hours of operation.

1. By checking the level of ﬂuid in the Oil Sight (20), you will be able to determine the oil level. The oil

level should be even with the dot in the center of the Oil Sight (20). If low, add oil until it is at the proper

level.

2. Oil is added by removing the Oil Plug (14) and, using a funnel to avoid spills, adding oil to the Compressor.

After Oil is added, replace the Oil Plug.

Operation

1. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet with a grounding prong.

2. Pull up on the Power switch to turn on (see illustration on page 6). Push down on the switch to turn the

compressor off.

3. Allow the tank to ﬁll to 80 PSI before using. With the Air Compressor on, its operation is automatic and

under the control of the internal pressure switch.

Warning: Do not remove the factory sealed Air Control Valve (see illustration on page 6); removal of

this valve voids warranty.

Hose Connections

1. Close the Air Control Valve (turn to right or left).

2. Connect the high pressure air hose to the air outlet. The outlet is 1/4” NPT. Note: For easy connection

or removal, a quick coupler (not included) should be installed on the end of the outlet.

3. Turn the Air Control Valve to the middle position to allow the air to pass. REV 06c, 07h

SKU 40400 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 5

Operation (continued)

WARNING! The automatic Pressure Switch (46) is factory set. It should only be adjusted to have the

original settings restored and this should only be done by a qualiﬁed technician. Adjustments made

by unqualiﬁed personnel or adjusting the pressure valve to other settings will VOID THE WARRANTY

and may cause damage to the compressor or PERSONAL INJURY.

The Safety Valve

The Safety Valve (see illustration on page 6 for location) is used as a backup to help prevent the tank

from exceeding its maximum safe pressure. Check before each use as follows: Pull on the Safety Valve ring to

release pressure; the valve is spring-loaded and has resistance, but it should move without sticking.

Empty Air and Condensation

The Petcock (53) release valve is located underneath the Tank Assembly (50). It must be used daily to

release all trapped air and moisture through this valve. It will also get rid of any condensation that may cause

tank corrosion.

Warning: Do not open the Petcock (53) so that more than four threads are showing.

1. Push down on the Power switch to turn the compressor off.

2. Unscrew the Petcock (53) two to three turns only.

3. When all pressure is released, close the Petcock (53) again.

NOTE: IF THE COMPRESSOR SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF, check and reset the unit’s

Overload Protection (59). Ensure that an extension cord is not being used.
