• Protect unit from dirt and moisture.
• Do not pump flammable or explosive gases or use in an
atmosphere that contains such gases.
• Protect all surrounding items from exhaust air. This exhaust
air can become very hot.
• Corrosive gases and particulate material will damage unit.
Water vapor, oil-based contaminants, or other liquids must

and “WARNING” will preceed all safety messages.
These words mean:
mDANGER
You will be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow in-
structions.
mWARNING
You can be killed or seriously injured if you don’t follow
instructions.
All safety messages will identify the hazard, tell you how to
reduce the chance of injury, and tell you what can happen if
the safety instructions are not followed.
INSTALLATION
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
Disconnect electrical power at the circuit breaker or fuse
box before installing this product.
Install this product where it will not come into contact with
water or other liquids.
Install this product where it will be weather protected.
Electrically ground this product.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire,
or electrical shock.
Correct installation is your responsibility. Make sure you have
the proper installation conditions and that installation clearances
do not block air flow.
WARNING
Blocking air flow over the product in any way can cause
the product to overheat.
MOUNTING/PLUMBING
1. Unpack the system. Remove only the two (2) bolts holding
the top Unistrut to the plywood using a ½” socket or wrench.
DO NOT remove the two (2) bottom bolts. The lower Unistrut
is pre-installed on the compressor frame and simplifies the
mounting process.
2. Find the top Unistrut section in the packaging and install
using the proper sized clamps for the riser pipe diameter.
2”, 2-½”, 3”, and 4” clamps are included with every unit. Use
appropriate socket & channel locks/adjustable wrench to
secure clamp bolt & nut (2”, 2-½”, & 3” = ½” & 4” = 9/16”).
3. Ensure there is enough space between the bolt head and
Unistrut to allow the system frame to mount in-between
4. Grasping the system by the hand cutouts, carefully hang the
frame on the Unistrut. Ensure both tabs on the frame are
secured between the bolt heads and Unistrut.
5. Using a 3/4” socket or wrench, tighten both bolts. Confirm
the frame is securely attached to the Unistrut.

6. Slide the bottom pipe clamps into the Unistrut already
attached to the system. Use appropriate socket & channel
locks/adjustable wrench to secure clamp bolt & nut.
7. If using, attach the supplied hose whip to the 3/4” threaded
outlet. Secure flange nut on hose whip using adjustable
wrench. Remove the blue plug from the compressor head
and install the filter, hand tightening.
8. Complete the installation by having a certified electrician
make the electrical connections. This compressor system
provides standard electrical conduit connection.
Once finished, turn the system on and ensure it pressurizes
the system and turns off once pressure setting is reached.
If needed, the pressure switch can be adjusted using the
provided instructions.
MOTOR CONTROL
It is your responsibility to contact a qualified electrician
and assure that the electrical installation is adequate and in
conformance with all national and local codes and ordinances.
Determine the correct overload setting required to protect the
motor (see motor starter manufacturer’s recommendations).
Select fuses, motor protective switches or thermal protective
switches to provide protection. Fuses act as short circuit
protection for the motor, not as protection against overload.
Incoming line fuses must be able to withstand the motor’s
starting current. Motor starters with thermal magnetic overload
or circuit breakers protect motor from overload or reduced
voltage conditions.
The wiring diagram supplied with the product provides required
electrical information. Check that power source is correct to
properly operate the motor.
WARNING
Electrical Shock Hazard
This product must be properly grounded.
Check the condition of the power supply wiring.
Do not permanently connect this product to wiring that
is not in good condition or is inadequate for the requirements
of this product.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in death, fire,
or electrical shock.
Model that is Permanently Wired
This product must be connected to a grounded, metallic,
permanent wiring system, or an equipment grounding terminal or
lead on the product.
Power supply wiring must conform to all required safety codes
and be installed by a qualified person. Check that supply voltage
agrees with that listed on product nameplate.
OPERATION
WARNING
Injury Hazard
Install proper safety guards as needed.
Keep fingers and objects away from openings and
rotating parts.
When provided, motor terminal covers must be in place
for safe operation.

allow product surfaces to cool before handling.
Air stream from the product may contain solid or liquid
material that can result in eye or skin damage, wear proper
eye protection.
Wear hearing protection. Sound level from motor may
exceed 70 dBA.
Failure to follow these instructions can result in burns,
eye injury, or other serious injury.
It is your responsibility to operate this product at recommended
pressures and room ambient temperatures. Do not start against a
pressure load.
Start Up
WARNING
This motor is thermally protected and may restart
after cooling.
If motor fails to start or slows down significantly under load, shut
off and disconnect from power supply. Check that the voltage
is correct for motor and that motor is turning in the proper
direction. Check the switch for damage. If so equipped, the
thermal protection switch has tripped, the motor can restart after
cooling.
