GLOSSARY

CFM: Cubic feet per minute.

SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.

PSIG: Pounds per square inchgauge; a unit of measure of pressure.

CUT-IN PRESSURE: While themotor is off, air tank pressuredrops as you continue to useyour accessory or air tool. Whenthe tank pressure drops to a

certain level the motor will restartautomatically re-started is called"cut-in pressure".

CUT-OUT PRESSURE: Whenyou turn on your air compressor,it begins to run, air pressure inthe air tank begins to build. Itbuilds to a certain pressurebefore the motor automaticallyshuts off - protecting your air

tank from pressure higher thanits design rating. The pressure atwhich the motor shuts off iscalled "cut-out pressure".

DUTY CYCLE

All Makita manufactured air compressors are recommendedto be operated on not more thana 50% duty cycle. This means anair compressor that pumps air more than 50% of one hour isconsidered misuse because theair compressor is undersized for the required air demand.

GENERAL

INFORMATION

This air compressor requires oil.Now you can enjoy all thebenefits of having an oil

lubricated professional air compressor. When oil is changedregularly, it will give you long,trouble-free life.

Your air compressor can be usedfor operating paint spray guns,air tools, caulking guns, greaseguns, air brushes, sandblaster,inflating tires or spraying weedkillers, insecticides, etc. An air

pressure regulator is supplied for these applications.

Separate air transformers whichcombine the functions of air regulation and/or moisture anddirt removal should be usedwhere applicable.

ON-RECEIPTINSPECTION

DAMAGE: Each air compressor outfit is carefully tested andchecked before shipment. Withimproper handling, damage mayresult in transit and causeproblems with compressor operation.

Immediately upon arrival, checkequipment for both concealedand visible damages to avoidexpenses being incurred tocorrect such problems. Thisshould be done regardless of any visible signs of damage tothe shipping container. If this




8/20Page 8

product was shipped directly toyou, report any damages to thecarrier and arrange for inspectionof goods immediately.

STORAGEBefore you store the air compressor, make sure you dothe following:1. Review the “Maintenance” and

“Operating Procedures”sections and performmaintenance as necessary. Besure to drain water from theair tank.

2. Protect the electrical cord andair hose from damage (such asbeing stepped on or run over).Store the air compressor in aclean and dry location.

DESCRIPTION OF

OPERATION

DRAIN VALVE: The drain valveis located at the bottom of theair tank and is used to draincondensation at the end ofeach use.

MOTOR THERMAL OVERLOADPROTECTOR: The electric motor has a manual thermal overloadprotector. If the motor overheatsfor any reason, the thermal

overload protector will shut off the motor. Turn pressure switchto the “off” position and wait for unit to cool before pushing thereset button and restarting thecompressor.

ON/AUTO - OFF SWITCH: Turnthis switch to “on” to provideautomatic power to the pressure

switch and to “off” to removepower when finished using thecompressor or when compressor will be left unattended.

AIR INTAKE FILTER: This filter isdesigned to clean air coming into

the compressor pump. This filter must always be clean and freefrom obstructions. See“Maintenance”.

AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP: Tocompress air, the piston movesup and down in the cylinder. Onthe down stroke, air is drawn inthrough the air intake valve. Theexhaust valve remains closed.On the upstroke of the piston, air is compressed. The intake valvecloses and compressed air isforced out through the exhaustvalve, through the outlet tube,through the check valve and intothe air tank. Useable air is notavailable until the compressor has raised the air tank pressureabove that required at the air

outlet.

CHECK VALVE: When the air compressor is operating, thecheck valve is “open”, allowingcompressed air to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches “cut-out” pressure, thecheck valve “closes”, allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank.

PRESSURE SWITCHUNLOADING VALVE: Thepressure switch unloading valvelocated on the side of thepressure switch, is designed toautomatically releasecompressed air from thecompressor head and the outlettube when the air compressor




9/20Page 9

reaches “cut-out” pressure.PRESSURE SWITCH: Thepressure switch automaticallystarts the motor when the air tank pressure drops to thefactory set “cut-in” pressure. Itstops the motor when the air

tank pressure reaches thefactory set “cut-out” pressure.

SAFETY VALVE: If the pressureswitch does not shut off the air compressor at its “cut-out”pressure setting, the safety valvewill protect against high pressureby “popping out” at its factory setpressure (slightly higher than thepressure switch “cut-out” setting).

OUTLET PRESSURE GAUGE:The outlet pressure gaugeindicates the air pressureavailable at the outlet side of theregulator. This pressure iscontrolled by the regulator and isalways less or equal to the tankpressure. See “OperatingProcedures”.

TANK PRESSURE GAUGE: Thetank pressure gauge indicatesthe air pressure in the tank.

REGULATOR: The air pressurecoming from the air tank iscontrolled by the regulator knob.Turn the knob clockwise toincrease pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease pressure.

To avoid minor re-adjustmentafter making a change inpressure setting, alwaysapproach the desired pressurefrom a lower pressure. Whenreducing from a higher to a lower setting, first reduce to somepressure less than desiredpressure. Depending on the air requirements of each particular

accessory, the outlet regulatedair pressure may have to beadjusted while you are operatingthe accessory.

INSTALLATION ANDBREAK-IN

PROCEDURES

LOCATION OF THE AIRCOMPRESSORLocate the air compressor in aclean, dry and well-ventilatedarea. The air filter must be keptclear of obstructions, which could

reduce air delivery of the air compressor. The air compressor should be located at least 12inches away from the wall or other obstructions that willinterfere with the flow of air. Theair compressor head and shroudare designed to allow for proper cooling. If humidity is high, an air filter can be installed on the air outlet adapter to remove

excessive moisture. Follow theinstructions packaged with the air filter for proper installation.

LUBRICATION AND OILCAUTION: Do not attempt tooperate this air compressor without first adding oil to thecrankcase. Serious damage willresult from even limited operationunless filled with oil and broken

in correctly. Make sure to closelyfollow initial start-up procedures.Compressor oil is provided; on alevel surface, please fill thecrankcase to proper levelindicated on the sight glass.

WARNING: Compressors areshipped without oil. A small




10/20Page 10

amount of oil may be present inthe pump upon receipt of the air compressor. This is due tofactory testing and does notmean the pump contains oil.

CAUTION: Multi-Viscosity motor

oils, like 10W 30, should not beused in an air compressor. Theyleave carbon deposits on criticalcomponents, thus reducingperformance and compressor life. Use air compressor oil only.

Initial Start Up Procedure:1.Open the air receiver's drain

valve.2.Plug power supply cord into

correct power source.3.Run the compressor for a

minimum of twenty (20)minutes in the no-loadcondition to lubricate thebearings and pistons, and toseat the piston rings.

4.Close air receiver drain valve.Your compressor is now readyfor use.

Extension CordsTo avoid voltage drop, power loss, and overheating of themotor, use extra air hose insteadof an extension cord. Lowvoltage can cause damage to themotor.

If an extension cord must beused:

· Use only an approved 3-wireextension cord that has a 3-blade grounding plug and a 3-slot receptacle that will acceptthe plug on the air compressor.

· Make sure the extension cordis in good condition.

Please see the chart below asthe MINIMUM requirements:

PipingPlastic or PVC pipe is notdesigned for use with

compressed air. Regardless of itsindicated pressure rating, plasticpipe can burst from air pressure.Use only metal pipe for air distribution lines.If a pipe line is necessary, usepipe that is the same size, or larger than, the air tank outlet.Piping that is too small willrestrict the flow of air. If piping isover 100 feet long, use the next

larger size. Bury undergroundlines below the frost line andavoid pockets wherecondensation can gather andfreeze. Apply pressure beforeunderground lines are covered tomake sure all pipe joints are freeof leaks.

Grounding InstructionWARNING: Risk of electricshock! In the event if a shortcircuit, grounding reduces therisk of shock by providing anescape wire for the electriccurrent. This air compressor must be properly grounded.The air compressor is equippedwith a cord having a groundingwire with an appropriate




11/20Page 11

grounding plug. The plug mustbe used with an outlet that hasbeen installed and grounded inaccordance with all local codesand ordinances. The outlet musthave the same configuration asthe plug. DO NOT USE AN

ADAPTER.

Inspect the plug and cord beforeeach use. Do not use if there aresigns of damage.

DANGER: Improper groundingcan result in electrical shock. Donot modify the plug that hasbeen provided. If it does not fitthe available outlet, the correctoutlet should be installed by aqualified electrician.

OPERATING

PROCEDURES

Daily Start-up Checklist1. Before attaching air hose or

accessories, make sure thepressure switch lever is set to“OFF” and the air regulator or shut-off valve is closed.

2. Attach hose and accessories.Too much air pressure causesa hazardous risk of bursting.Check the manufacturer'smaximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The

regulator outlet pressure mustnever exceed the maximumpressure rating.

3. Turn the pressure switch lever to “ON/AUTO” and allow tankpressure to build. Motor willstop when tank pressurereaches “cut-out” pressure.

4. Open the regulator by turningit clockwise. Adjust theregulator to the correctpressure setting. Your compressor is ready for use.

5. Always operate the air compressor in well-ventilated

areas; free of gasoline or other solvent vapors. Do notoperate the compressor near the spray area.

When you are finished:6. Set the pressure switch lever

to “OFF”.7. Using the air tool or

accessory, bleed the tankpressure down to zero.

8. Remove the air tool or accessory.

9. Drain water from air tank byopening drain cock valve onbottom of tank. WATER WILLCONDENSE IN THE AIRTANK. IF NOT DRAINED,WATER WILL CORRODE

AND WEAKEN THE AIRTANK CAUSING A RISK OF

AIR TANK RUPTURE.

Note:If drain cock valve is plugged,release all air pressure. Thevalve can then be removed,cleaned, then reinstalled.

10. After the water has beendrained, close the drain valve.The air compressor can now

be stored.
