INSTALLATION
Area
1. Install compressor in a clean, dry, and well-lit area. Be sure installation area can maintain a
temperature range between 35˚ - 110˚ F.
2. Allow sufficient space around the compressor for maintenance access and adequate airflow. Mount
unit with the belt guard (pulley and flywheel) side to the wall and leave a minimum of 15 inches of
clearance.
3. If acid is used in operating environment or air is dust laden, pipe intake to outside fresh air. Increase
pipe size by 1/8”’ for every 20ft of run. Be sure to install a protective hood at the outside air intake
location to prevent debris and foreign objects from blocking the intake pipe.
4. In operating environments where excessive water, oil, dirt, acid, or alkaline fumes are present, a
TEFC (totally enclosed, fan cooled) motor is highly recommended. Check nameplates for motor type.
5. Insulate cold water or tother low temperature pipes that pass overhead to avoid condensation
dripping on the compressor.
6. In environments where fine dust is common such as granite, marble, or concrete plants the unit must
be installed in a separate room with its own dedicated ventilation system.
7. The unit can be stored outside under the following guidelines: It must be in a covered area out of
extreme weather with no ability for moisture to get to the unit, it is also highly recommended that the
unit is out of direct sunlight as it can fade and/or damage the coating on the unit. Direct sunlight may
also interfere with safety decals on the unit.
8. If the unit is in an enclosed space, it requires proper ventilation as the ambient air temp where the
compressor is located CANNOT exceed 115 degrees F.
9. Use shims to level the compressor if installation area is not flat. This will help prevent excessive
vibration and premature pump wear.

4. Make sure any tube, pipe, fitting, or hose connected to the unit can withstand operating temperatures
and retain pressure.
5. Never use reducers in discharge piping. Keep all piping and fittings the same size in the piping system.
WARNING: Never use plastic (PVC) pipe for compressed air. Serious
injury or death could result. Piping MUST have a pressure rating of
200 PSI or greater.
PRE-USE INSPECTION
1. The unit is shipped with pump break-in oil and should be ready to operate. Be sure to check for proper
oil level before running the compressor. Break in oil should be changed after 150 Hours of operation
(active pumping time). See maintenance section for more information on oil changes and frequency.
Oil level should be to the center of the red circle in the sight glass. Oil
level WILL SLIGHTLY LOWER once the unit turns on and oil begins to
circulate.
2. Check for proper belt tension. There should be ½ inch of belt slack/deflection. Refer to maintenance
section if adjustment is necessary.
3. Inspect belts for frays or unit for an excess buildup of black rubber dust indicating belt wear.
4. Check proper operation of all pop off safety valves on unit. Pull rings on valves to ensure they move
and are free of any obstructions. DO NOT pull the safety valve on the tank if there is air in the tank!

5. Inspect all air lines/piping for proper for secure fit and corrosion or line degradation. DO NOT operate
the compressor with damaged lines. DO NOT use damaged or cracked air lines as a rupture could
result in damage/injury to personnel or property.
6. WITH UNIT LOCKED OUT (power off at source i,e. the electrical panel/disconnect) ensure all electrical
wiring, including all terminals, are in good condition and are free of buildup, fraying, cracks or
discoloration replace as needed. Check tightness of bolts securing wiring in place.
7. Ensure unit is secured in place and has not shifted. Verify anchor bolts are in place and are in good
condition.
8. Remove any loose items from around/on compressor to avoid damage to the unit. Examples would be
loose clothing items, rags, papers, bottles, or any item that may have been placed on the unit.
9. Check unit for any oil leaks. If leaks are found contact manufacturer for further instructions.
10. Unit should NEVER be operated without the belt guard in place.
11. Inspect Flywheel for cracks or missing fins. NEVER operate a unit with a damaged flywheel; serious
injury or death could result. If you suspect your flywheel may have been damaged, contact technical
assistance and DO NOT allow the machine to be operated.
OPERATION
Ensure all personnel that work around or operate the compressor have read this manual and are well
versed in the operation of this machinery. NEVER allow untrained personnel to operate this unit.
1. Once the inspection is completed, open your discharge port (outlet ball valve). This should already be
connected to your shop airline system.
2. Ensure all personnel are clear of the compressor and aware that it is being started.
3. Turn the selector on your pressure switch to AUTO. This will start your compressor and allow it to fill.
The tank will fill to 175 PSI, and unless otherwise noted, will shut off. The unit will begin pumping again
once the tank is drained down to approximately 135 PSI.
Pump Up Time (General):
Horsepower Tank size Average pump up time (empty to full 175 PSI) times may vary +/- 20%
(gallons)
5 80 7 min 15 seconds

Maintenance Schedule
The table below is a generalized maintenance schedule based on the normal usage of a compressor. Your
specific needs may vary based on operating environment and duty.
Oil Level Daily Check oil level while the unit is OFF. If oil is low add to fill point. If
level is high, drain off oil.
Tank Daily Drain the tank daily at the end of use. DO NOT attempt to store
air for prolonged periods of time. The electrical cost is minuscule
compared to replace a rusted out or ruptured tank. DO NOT
attempt to repair a damaged tank.
Anchors Weekly Ensure anchors are holding the unit securely and are not loose.
Anti-Vibration Pads Weekly Check for wear. Verify they are in place and not damaged or
rotted.
Environment Quarterly (four Air temperature should not exceed recommended levels.
times per year) Humidity where compressor is stored should not exceed 70%.
Consider relocating compressor if these conditions cannot be
met.
Wiring Semi Annually Have an electrician check connection from power supply and all
(twice a year) subsequent connections on the unit.
Air Filter(s)* See Air filters should be changed after the first 100-hour break in
Comments period and every 90 days after that. The frequency will increase
in environments with air contaminants such as dust, paint, dirt,
etc.
Oil* See Oil should be changed after the first 100-hour break in period
Comments and every 90 days after that. This will increase in frequency
depending on actual compressor use and hours unit is running.
*Frequency of these changes are a generalization and may be subject to change based on compressor
environment, hours, and application.

Oil Choice
It is strongly advised to use only Airbase Industries piston compressor oil. Check with your warranty/extended
warranty guidelines to verify oil selection and use. Oil used in the compressor must fall under the following
criteria: synthetic, SAE grade 30, non-detergent, piston compressor oil.
Oil Disposal
Compressor oil is not trash and MUST NOT be disposed of in regular trash or discarded into the environment.
You MUST dispose of waste oil from your unit per all applicable federal, state, and/or local codes. Failure to do
so may damage the environment and subject yourself and/or your business to fines and legal issues.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Some unit issues can be fixed simply by verifying the following guide. It is advised to go through the guide prior
to calling technical support to help expedite the assistance process.
Issue Action
Compressor does not run Check unit power supply. Verify incoming voltage from power supply
to unit. Check that breakers are functioning correctly. Verify wiring is
connected correctly and not loose.
Compressor cycles frequently Check for leaks in facility/shop air lines or air system. Check for stuck
tools or machine leaks. Check pressure settings and PSI cycle
settings on switch.
Compressor does not reach Check unit is not running in continuous run, check FEATURES section
pressure for more information. Check CFM consumption of machines to ensure
they do not exceed compressor capability. Check tools for
CONSTANT CFM rating, not average. Average ratings do not reflect
consumption and are often 66% lower than actual CFM consumption
Ensure unit is not hard lined to air system. Unit should be connected
by flexible hose to air systems to prevent vibration noise.
Compressor will not shut off Check incoming power location. If wired incorrectly power is going
directly to motor and can cause tank damage. Shut unit down and
verify wire diagram. If problem continues contact customer support.
Magnetic starter has kicked off Verify duty cycle on unit. It should not exceed 60-40 run/rest cycle if it
does consider upsizing unit and/or tank size. Thermal overloads are
designed to protect the motor from overheating. Overusing unit can
cause thermal overloads to trip. Allow the unit to cool, reset magnetic
starter and continue use. If problem occurs again contact customer
support.
Getting oil blow by Verify pump has passed the break in time: 150-200 hours of active run
time. For cases after break in period contact customer support as
some blow by can occur during break in.
