18. Maintenance. For your safety, service and maintenance should be performed

regularly by a qualified technician.

Note: Performance of this Air Compressor Pump may vary depending on variations

in local line voltage or motor capacity. Extension cord usage may also affect

tool performance.

19. Use proper size and type extension cord. If an extension cord is required, it

must be of the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the tool

without heating up. Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and catch fire, or

cause electrical damage to the tool. Longer extension cords require larger

size wire. If you are using the tool outdoors, use an extension cord rated for

outdoor use. (signified by “WA” on the jacket). Check with the manufacturer of

Air Compressor Pump Safety Precautions

1. Use proper size motor and motor pulley. This air compressor Pump must

be installed with a 3 HP electric motor and pulley (both not supplied) which

can turn the Air Compressor Belt Wheel (35) at approximately 1050 rpm, but

not more than 1200 rpm.

2. Install motor, pully belt and pully belt cover securely. Be sure to use the

proper size bolts to install your motor (not included). The belt and belt cover

(not included) must be strong enough to prevent breaking and possible injury.

3. Be sure all equipment is rated to the appropriate capacity of this pump.

Make sure that the lowest rated piece of equipment you are using can handle

the maximum pressure of the Air Compressor Pump (see Specifications).

4. Avoid explosions and fire. Never place flammable objects near the compressor.

Never spray water or any flammable liquids towards the compressor.

5. Avoid bodily injury. Never direct the air outlet at any person or animal.

6. Use Safety Guard for Pulleys. The Air Compressor Belt Wheel (35), V-belt

(not supplied), and motor pulley (not supplied) must be covered by a safety

guard (not supplied) covering all moving elements before operation.

7. Avoid burns. The Cylinder (12), Cylinder Head (5) and Air Outlet (6) become

very hot during operation. Do not touch.

8. Industrial Applications. If used in an industrial applications, you must follow

OSHA requirements.

9. Properly fill Air Compressor Pump oil reservoir before operating. Fill

the oil reservoir with a premium quality, 30-weight, non-detergent oil before

operating.

Check oil level through the Oil Level Window before each use.

Running the Air Compressor Pump with little or no oil will cause damage to

the pump and void the warranty.

Recommended Compressed Air System Components

We recommend that you use both a filter and an in-line oiler in your air supply system

Unpacking

When unpacking, check to make sure that the product is intact and

undamaged. If any parts are missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight

Tools at the number on the cover of this manual as soon as possible.

Installation

Note: Depending on your level of expertise, you may wish to have a qualified

technician perform this installation.

Caution: Avoid damage to the Air Compressor Pump and other equipment. Make

sure the mounting surface for the Air Compressor Pump is installed on a flat

and level surface, strong enough to support the pump and motor.

1. Place the Air Compressor Pump on the mounting surface at the same level as the 3

HP motor used to drive it. The 14-¼ inch V-groove Belt Wheel (35) of the Air

Compressor Pump must be in perfect alignment with the motor pulley (not included).

2. Verify that the Belt Wheel (35) turns freely where it overhangs the mounting surface.

3. Place the V-groove belts (not included) over the Belt Wheel (35) and motor pulley.

4. Pull Compressor Pump until properly aligned, and the belt is tight. Recheck

motor pulley, V-groove belt, and Belt Wheel alignment.

5. Use a pencil to mark through the Air Compressor Pump mounting holes onto

the mounting surface.

6. Move the Air Compressor Pump and drill four 3/8 inch holes in the mounting surface.

7. Move the Air Compressor Pump back to its mounting position.

8. Secure each corner of the base with a 3/8 inch diameter bolt, washer, lock

washer, and nut (all not supplied).

9. Make final alignment and belt tightness adjustments from the motor. It may be

necessary to loosen the motor mounting bolts to adjust the motor location. To

test the proper tension on the V-belts, press down on the belts, they should

not depress more than 1/2 inch at mid-point.Tighten all mounting hardware.

10. Mount the motor (not supplied) as recommended by the motor manufacturer.

Be sure that the motor is securely mounted.

11. Connect plumbing hardware (not supplied) from the male ½” - 14 tpi Air Outlet

(6) to the air destination (i.e., air pressure tank, not supplied).

12. Install a safety guard (not supplied) that surrounds the motor pulley, V-belts,

and Belt Wheel (35). This safety guard must cover all sides of the moving

belts and pulleys. It should have a clearance of about one inch from the

moving parts.The safety guard must be sturdy enough to prevent injury.

Note: A qualified electrician must wire in a pressure switch control that turns off

the motor when the pump reaches the desired pressure (less than 140 PSI).

Note: Always install this Air Compressor Pump to an air tank that has a pressure

release valve set at less than 140 PSI.

Note: A high/low cut-in/cut-out switch (not included) can be incorporated to operate

a motor starter or motor contractor for semi-automatic control of air pressure

in the vessel.

Warning: Avoid serious injuries. Do not operate this Air Compressor Pump without

the Safety Guard in place.

13. Unscrew the Oil Filler Cap (44) and fill the oil

reservoir to mid point as seen in the Oil Window

(22). The oil should be premium qualify, 30-

weight, non-detergent oil. Do not overfill.

Operation

1. Turn on the power switch to the drive motor.

2. Check the following items:

- V-belt should not vibrate.

- Listen for air leaks.

- Listen for abnormal noise or vibration.

- If there is a problem, turn power off and

release air pressure from the line before attempting repairs.

3. Allow Air Compressor Pump to cool down after each hour of use.

4. Turn off the power switch to the drive motor when finished using the Air

Compressor Pump. Do not leave on if the compressed air is not being used.

Maintenance

Caution: Remove power from the drive motor before attempting any maintenance

on the Air Compressor Pump.

1. Before each use, verify that the oil level is at the proper level as viewed through

the Oil Window (22).

2. Periodically check V-belts for proper tension.

3. Periodically remove Air Filter (4) and blow clean with compressed air. If it is

dark in color and will not blow clean, replace the filter.

4. If the oil appears dirty, open the Oil Filler Cap (44), and remove the Oil Drain

Bolt (24), capturing the oil in a suitable container. Dispose of the used oil in

accordance with local regulations. Replace the Oil Drain Bolt, and refill as
