UNPACKING
When unpacking, check to make sure all the parts shown on the Parts Lists on pages 10,
and 11 are included. If any parts are missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight Tools at
the number shown on the cover of this manual as soon as possible.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
NOTE: For additional references to the parts listed below, refer to the Assembly
Diagrams on pages 10, and 11.
To Check The Oil Level:
1.
The Oil Window (20B) is used to determine if oil is needed. The oil level should
always be at the maximum level (red line on the Oil Window). (See Figure C, and
Assy. Diagram B.)
REV 02/04
SKU 47065
For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

2.
If necessary, add a premium quality, 30-weight, non-detergent oil into the Oil Fill
Hole until the level of oil reaches the maximum level as indicated on the Oil
Window (20B). The optimal capacity of the oil reservoir is 30 ounces. Do not
overfill. Then thread the Dip Stick back into the Oil Fill Hole, being careful not to
strip the plastic threads.

ToTurn The Air Compressor On:
1.
Check to make sure the Water Drain Valve (10A) is fully closed.
(See Assy. Diagram A.)
2.
3.
Turn the Air Flow Valve (6A) to its “OFF” position. (See Assy. Diagram A.)
Connect the air hose (not provided) to the Air Flow Valve (6A) of the Air Com-
pressor. Then, connect the other end of the air hose to the pneumatic tool (not
provided) that is to be used. (See Assy. Diagram A.)
4.
5.
Note: Always plug the Power Cord of the Air Compressor into a 115V elec-
trical source ( 10% maximum variation).
Pull up on the “ON/OFF” Power Switch (1A) to turn the Air Compressor on.
(Push down on the “ON/OFF” Power Switch to turn the Air Compressor off.)
(See Assy. Diagram A.)
6.
7.
Allow sufficient time for the Tank Pressure Gauge (4A) to indicate 80 PSI before
using the Air Compressor. (See Assy. Diagram A.)
Turn the Air Flow Valve (6A) to its “ON” position to allow air to the pneumatic tool.
(See Assy. Diagram A.)

8.
NOTE:With the Air Compressor turned on, the operation is automatic and under the
control of the automatic switches inside the box under the Power Switch (1A).
NEVER open the power switch box or adjust the controls within.
To AdjustThe Air Output To The Pneumatic Tool:
1.
2.
3.
NOTE: When adjusting the air pressure being forwarded to the pneumatic tool, you
will need to compare the pressure readings of both the Tank Pressure Gauge (3A)
and the Tool Pressure Gauge (4A). The reading on the Tank Pressure Gauge dic-
tates the maximum/minimum air pressure at which the Tool Pressure Gauge may
also be set. (See Assy. Diagram A.)
With the Air Compressor running, and the air hose and pneumatic tool hooked up to
the Air Compressor, pull up on the Tool Pressure Adjuster (2A). Turn the Tool Pres-
sure Adjuster clockwise to increase the air output to the tool, up to the working air
pressure (115 PSI) as indicated on the Tank Pressure Gauge (3A). (See Assy.
Diagram A.)
Turn the Tool Pressure Adjuster (2A) counterclockwise to decrease the air output
to the tool, down to the minimum rated pressure (0 PSI) as indicated on the Tank
Pressure Gauge (3A). (See Assy. Diagram.)
To UseThe Tank Pressure Relief Valve:
1.
2.
3.
The Tank Pressure Relief Valve Ring (5A) is used when decompression is needed
quickly and efficiently. (See Assy. Diagram A.)
To decompress the Air Tank (9A) pressure, press the “ON/OFF” Power Switch (1A)
down to turn off the Air Compressor. (See Assy. Diagram A.)
Pull out on the Tank Pressure Relief Valve Ring (5A) to immediately release air
pressure in the Air Tank (9A). (See Assy. Diagram A.)
To Empty Air And Condensation FromThe Tank:
1.
The Water DrainValve (10A) is located underneath the Air Tank (9A), and should be
used daily to release all trapped moisture through this valve. The Water Drain Valve
will also eliminate condensation that may cause Air Tank corrosion. (See Assy.
Diagram A.)
2.
3.
WARNING: Do not open the Water Drain Valve (10A) so that more than four
threads are showing.
Push down on the“ON/OFF” Power Switch (1A) to turn off the Air Compressor. Then,
unplug the Air Compressor’s Power Cord from the electrical outlet. (See Assy. Dia-
gram A.)
4.
Slowly and carefully unscrew (no more than four threads) the Water Drain Valve
(10A) until the compressed air and condensation begins to be released from the Air
Tank (9A). Allow sufficient time for all of the air and condensation to escape from
the AirTank. Then, firmly retighten the Water Drain Valve. (See Assy. Diagram A.)

Reference: Overload Switch (#35B)
The overload breaker will trip if an over-current condition is sensed, stopping the
motor. If this occurs, shut off the pressure switch and wait at least 5 minutes.
Release the air pressure in the tank to ease restarting. Then press the breaker
button to reset it, and turn on the pressure switch.
INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING
1.
2.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the Air Compressor from its electrical supply source
before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning.
BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the Air Compressor. Check
all air fittings for leaks. Check for loose screws, misalignment or binding of moving
parts, cracked or broken parts, damaged power cord and plug, and any other con-
dition that may affect the safe operation of this tool. If abnormal noise or vibration
occurs, immediately disconnect the Air Compressor from its electrical supply source
and have the problem corrected before further use.
Do not use damaged equipment.
3.
4.
DAILY: Check the Air Compressor oil level. If necessary, fill with a premium quality,
30-weight, non-detergent oil. NOTE: When checking the oil level, make sure to
unscrew (do not pull) the Dip Stick (14B). (See Assy. Diagram B.)
DAILY: Purge the Air Tank (9A) of all air and moisture to prevent corrosion. To do
so, slowly and carefully unscrew (no more than four threads) the Water DrainValve
(10A) until the compressed air and condensation begins to be released from the Air
Tank. Allow sufficient time for all of the air and condensation to escape from the Air
Tank. Then, firmly retighten the Water Drain Valve. (See Assy. Diagram A.)
5.
6.
EVERY 100 HOURS OF USE: Clean the Air Filter (7A) with a mild solvent. Then,
dry and reattach the Air Filter. NOTE: Replace the Air Filter if it is too dirty to
properly clean. (See Assy. Diagram A.)
EVERY 500 HOURS OR 12 MONTHS: Replace the old oil with new, premium qual-
ity, 30-weight, non-detergent oil.
7.
8.
TO CLEAN: wipe with a damp cloth, using a mild detergent or mild solvent.
WHEN STORING: Keep the Air Compressor in a clean, dry location.
