It is very important to read this manual carefully and understand it thoroughly before using the compressor. The symbols listed below are used to indicate this information. DANGER - POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT WILL RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE WARNING - POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE CAUTION - POTENTIAL HAZARD THAT MAY RESULT IN MODERATE INJURY OR DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT WARNING 1. RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION. Do not spray a flammable or combustible liquid or paint near sparks, flames, pilot lights, or in a confined area. The spray area must be well-ventilated. Keep compressor at least 20' away from spray area. Do not carry and operate the compressor, or any other electrical device near the spray area. Never smoke when spraying. Use a minimum of 25' of hose to connect a spray gun to compressor. 2. RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Do not expose to rain. Store indoors. Hazardous voltage. Disconnect from power source before servicing. Compressor must be grounded, do not use grounding adaptors. RISK OF BURSTING. Make sure the regulator is adjusted so that the compressor outlet pressure is set lower than maximum operating pressure of the spray gun or tool. Before starting the compressor, pull the ring on the safety valve to make sure the valve moves freely. Drain water from tank after each use. Do not weld or repair tank. 3. RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY. Wear safety glasses. Never spray compressed air or material at self or others. Do not use compressed air for breathing. 4. RISK OF BURSTING. Check the maximum pressure rating in the manual or the serial tag label. The compressor outlet pressure must be regulated so that it does not exceed the maximum pressure rating. Relieve all pressure in the hose before removing or attaching accessories. 5. RISK OF BURSTING. Do not adjust the pressure switch or relief valve for any reason. They have been preset at the factory for this compressor’s maximum pressure. Tampering with the pressure switch or the relief valve may cause personal injury or property damage. 6. RISK OF BURNS. The pump and the manifold generate high temperatures. In order to avoid burns or other injuries, do not touch the pump, the manifold, or the transfer tube while the compressor is running. Allow the parts to cool down before handling or servicing. Keep children away from the compressor at all times. 7. RISK TO BREATHING. Be certain to read all labels when you are spraying paints or toxic materials, and follow the safety instructions. Use a respirator mask if there is a chance of inhaling anything you are spraying. Also, NEVER directly inhale the compressed air produced by a compressor. 8. RISK OF EYE INJURY. Wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety goggles when using an air compressor. Do not point any nozzle or sprayer toward a person or any part of the body. Serious injury may occur if the spray penetrates the skin. CAUTION 1. Pull the pressure relief valve ring every day in order to ensure that the valve is functioning properly. 2. The compressor must be located in a well-ventilated area for cooling, and must be a minimum of 12” (30 cm) away from the nearest wall. 3. Protect the air hose and the power cord from damage and puncture. Inspect them for weak or worn spots every week, and replace them if necessary. 4. Always wear hearing protection when using an air compressor. Failure to do so may result in hearing loss. 5. Do not operate the compressor if it is not in a stable position. Do not operate the compressor on a rooftop or an elevated position that could allow the unit to fall or be tipped over. 3 BASIC COMPRESSOR FEATURES B C A D E F G H K J I A--------ELECTRIC MOTOR B--------AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP C--------PRESSURE SWITCH D--------PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE E--------AIR PRESSURE REGULATOR F--------TANK PRESSURE GAUGE G--------REGULATED PRESSURE GAUGE H--------AIR LINE OUTLET I---------AIR TANK DRAIN VALVE J---------AIR TANK K--------POWER CORD 4 BASIC COMPRESSOR FEATURES A. ELECTRIC MOTOR: The motor is used to power the pump. It is equipped with a thermal overload protector and an automatic reset. If the motor overheats for any reason, the thermal overload protector will shut it down in order to prevent the motor from being damaged. The motor will automatically restart when it has cooled completely. B. AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP: The pump compresses the air and discharges it into the tank via the piston that moves up and down in the cylinder. C. PRESSURE SWITCH: This switch turns the compressor on and off. It is operated manually, and when it is in the ON position, it allows the motor to start if the pressure in the air tank is below the factory set cut-in pressure, and allows the motor to stop if the pressure in the air tank reaches the factory set cutout pressure. Be sure to set this switch to the OFF position when the compressor is not being used and before unplugging the compressor. D. PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE: This valve is used to prevent system failure by draining pressure from the system when it reaches a preset level if the pressure switch has not shut down the motor. It will pop open automatically, or it can be activated manually by pulling the ring on the valve. E. AIR PRESSURE REGULATOR: The regulator is used to adjust the pressure inside the line to the tool that is being used. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease the pressure. WARNING:Do not exceed the tool’s maximum working pressure. F. TANK PRESSURE GAUGE: The gauge measures the pressure level of the air that is stored in the tank. It cannot be adjusted by the operator, and it does not indicate the pressure inside the line. G. REGULATED PRESSURE GAUGE: The gauge measures the regulated outlet pressure. H. AIR LINE OUTLET: The outlet is connected to the 1/4” (6.4 mm) NPT air hose. I. AIR TANK DRAIN VALVE: The drain valve is used to remove moisture from the air tank after the compressor is shut off. WARNING:Do not attempt to open the drain valve when there is more than 10 PSI of air pressure in the tank. J. AIR TANK: The tank is where the compressed air is stored. K. POWER CORD: This compressor should be used on a nominal 115 V grounded circuit. Use a power cord that is equipped with a grounding plug. Verify that the compressor is plugged into an outlet that has the same configuration as the plug (see Figure 1). Do not use an adaptor with this compressor. If the grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if there is any doubt as to whether the compressor is properly grounded, check with a licensed electrician Do not alter the plug in any way. If it will not fit into the outlet, have the proper type of outlet installed by a licensed electrician. DANGER:Improper installation of the grounding plug will result in a risk of electric shock. If it is necessary to repair or replace the cord or plug, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The grounding wire is in the green coating.

If any parts are missing or damaged, call the toll-free helpline, at 1-800-689-9928. D C 2. Check the serial tag label to ensure that the compressor has the required pressure rating for its intended use. A B 3. Take the two wheels (A), two bolts (B), four washers (C) and two nuts (D) out of the bag, and install them on the foot section of the tank (see Figure 1). Figure 1 4. Unpack the smaller plastic bag that contains the air filter (E), and install the air filter on the pump (see Figure 2). 5. Push the removable handle (F) into the fixed steel sleeves and make sure that the tapped holes on the handle align with the holes on the steel sleeves. Using the four thumbscrews (G), securely fasten the handle to the sleeves (see Figure 3). E Figure 2 6. Determine the location of the compressor according to the following guidelines: a. Place the compressor near a grounded electrical outlet. b. The compressor must be at least 12’ (30 cm) away from any wall or obstruction, and must be installed in a clean, wellventilated area in order to ensure sufficient air flow and cooling. c. The compressor must be level in order to ensure proper drainage of moisture from the tank. d. In cold weather, store the compressor in a heated building when it is not in use. This will reduce problems related to starting the motor and freezing of water condensation. 6. F G Connect an air hose with a 1/4” (6.4 mm) NPT fitting kit to the compressor’s air line outlet. Figure 3 6 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS BREAKING IN THE PUMP NOTE: The pump is shipped without oil. Before using the compressor, pour the break-in oil (included) into the pump through the oil nozzle. Change the break-in oil after 8 hours of operation. In order to reduce maintenance and repair problems, use 58-8143-6 Campbell Hausfeld Air Compressor Oil. To extend the life of your compressor, add air compressor oil before starting the air compressor. NOTE: Please dispose of used hydraulic oil in a manner that is compatible with the environment. 1. Check the oil level in the pump through the oil sight glass. The pump oil level must be between A1 and A2. Do not operate the compressor if the oil is over-filled or under-filled (see A). 2. Turn the pressure switch to the OFF position (See B) 3. Open the tank drain valve by turning it counter-clockwise (see C). 4. Plug in the power cord. 5. Turn the pressure switch to the ON position (See D). The compressor will start. Allow the compressor to run for 30 minutes in order to break in the internal parts. If the compressor does not operate properly after 30 minutes, turn it off immediately and call the toll-free helpline, at 1-800-689-9928.. 6. After the compressor has been running for 30 minutes, turn the pressure switch to the OFF position. 7. Close the tank drain valve by turning it clockwise. 8. Turn the pressure switch to the ON position. The compressor will start, fill the tank to the cut-out pressure, and then stop. NOTE: Leaving the pressure switch in the ON position will allow the motor to restart automatically as the compressed air is used. OFF B B ON D E A START-UP 1. Before starting the compressor, check the oil sight glass in order to verify the oil level in the pump. 2. Turn the pressure switch to the OFF position. 3. Close the tank drain valve. 4. Plug in the power cord. 5. Turn the pressure switch to the ON position. 6. Adjust the pressure regulator to the tool’s working pressure. When lowering the pressure, turn the knob counter-clockwise past the desired setting, and then turn it clockwise back to the desired pressure. Do not exceed the operating pressure of the tool or accessory that is being used. SHUT-DOWN 1. Turn the pressure switch to the OFF position. 2. Unplug the power cord. 3. Reduce the pressure in the tank through the outlet hose. Pulling the relief valve ring and keeping it open will also reduce the pressure in the tank (See E). CAUTION Escaping air and moisture can propel debris that may cause eye injury. Wear safety goggles when opening the drain valve 7 CLOSE OPEN C MAINTENANCE WARNING: In order to avoid personal injury, shut off and unplug the air compressor and relieves all air pressure from the system before performing any service. Regular maintenance will ensure trouble-free operation. The items listed in this chart should be inspected on a regular basis. ITEM DESCRIPTION SERVICE INTERVAL Drain the tank To prevent corrosion of the tank from the inside, the condensation must be drained at the end of every workday. Be sure to wear protective goggles. Relieve the air pressure in the system and open the drain valve on the bottom of the tank in order to drain it. Daily Check the oil Check the oil level in the pump through the oil sight glass. The oil level in the pump must be within the red circle. Do not over-fill or under-fill. Daily Pull the relief valve on the ring every day in order to ensure that it is operating properly and in order to clear the valve of any possible obstructions. Daily Check the relief valve Clean the air filter A dirty filter will reduce the performance and the life of the compressor. In order to avoid any contamination of the inside pump, the filter should be cleaned frequently and replaced on a regular basis. The foam filter should be cleaned using warm and soapy water. Weekly Check all connections to verify that they are tight. A small leak in the tank, hoses, pipe connections, or transfer tubes will reduce the performance of the compressor. Test for leakage Storage Spray a small amount of soapy water around the area of the suspected leak with a spray bottle. If bubbles appear, repair or replace the faulty component. Do not over-tighten the connections. Before storing the compressor for a long period, use an air blowgun to clean all dust and debris from the compressor. Disconnect and coil the power cord. Pull the pressure relief valve in order to release all pressure from the tank. Drain all moisture from the tank. Cover the entire compressor in order to protect it from moisture and dust. 8 N/A N/A TROUBLESHOOTING NOTE: Several problems may have similar causes and solutions. PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION The power cord is not plugged in The pressure switch is in the “OFF” position The extension cord is the wrong wire gauge or is too long The motor will not run or start Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet. Turn the switch to the “ON” position Check chart on page 2 for the proper wire gauge and cord length The motor’s thermal overload protection has tripped Turn the air compressor off, wait until the motor has cooled down, and then check the motor’s circuit breaker A fuse has blown or a circuit breaker has been tripped -Replace the fuse or reset the circuit breaker -Verify that the fuse has the proper amperage -Check for low voltage conditions -Disconnect any other electrical appliances from the circuit, or operate the compressor on a dedicated circuit The air tank pressure exceeds the preset pressure switch limit The motor will start automatically when the tank pressure drops below the cut-in pressure. The check valve is stuck open The motor, capacitor, or check valve is defective Remove the check valve and clean it or replace it. Have the compressor serviced by a qualified professional. Have the compressor serviced by a qualified professional. The pressure switch does not shut off the motor when the air compressor reaches the cut-out pressure and the safety relief valve activates Move the pressure switch to the OFF position. If the motor does not shut off, unplug the air compressor. If the electrical contacts are welded together, replace the pressure switch. The compressor is not large enough Check the air requirement of the accessory that is being used. If it is higher than the CFM and the pressure supplied by compressor, a larger compressor is needed. Most accessories are rated at 25% of actual CFM while running continuously. The regulator or its internal parts are dirty or damaged. Replace the regulator. There is a leak at one of the fittings Check the fittings with soapy water. Tighten or reseal leaking fittings. Do not over-tighten. Electrical connections are loose The motor runs continuously when the Start/Stop option is activated The regulator does not regulate the pressure The pressure is low, or there is not enough air There is moisture in the discharge air The tank drain valve is open The air intake is restricted Prolonged excessive use of air There is a hole in the air hose The tank leaks The valve is leaking There is condensation in air tank caused by a high level of atmospheric humidity or because the air compressor has not been running long enough. Close the drain valve Clean or replace the air filter element. Decrease the amount of air used. Check the air hose, and replace it if necessary. Replace the tank Immediately. Do not attempt to repair it. Check for worn parts, and replace them if necessary. Drain the air tank after each use. Drain the air tank more often in humid weather, and use an air line filter. Relocate the compressor to an area with cool, dry, and well-circulated air. Clean all cooling surfaces on the pump and the motor thoroughly. The ventilation is inadequate The compressor overheats Cooling surfaces are dirty The valve is leaking Replace worn parts and reassemble using new seals. 9 EXPLODED VIEW PARTS LIST Part No. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Description SHOULDER BOLT WHEEL WASHER SPRING WASHER NUT TANK TRANSFER TUBE RIGHT ELBOW INTAKE FILTER PUMP ASSEMBLY MOTOR ASSEMBLY SHROUD HANDLE HANDLE SLEEVE THUMBSCREW RELIEF VALVE Quantity 2 2 4 2 4 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 4 1 Part No. 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 10 Description BLEEDING TUBE PRESSURE SWITCH PRESSURE GAUGE ADAPT FITTING REGULATOR QUICK CONNECTOR PLASTIC ANCHOR&NUT POWER CORD BOLT RUBBER FOOT CHECK VALVE DRAIN VALVE BOLT WASHER BOLT PRESSURE GAUGE Quantity 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 1 2 2 1 1 4 6 2 1 MASTERCRAFT® LIMITED WARRANTY This MASTERCRAFT® product is guaranteed for a period of 3 years from the date of original retail purchase against defects in materials and workmanship.
