BEFORE INITIAL START-UP ENSURE THAT THE COMPRESSOR OIL CHAMBER IS FILLED TO THE

VERVIEW

The TA-3 is a portable, 3-man breathing air compressor designed exclusively for use with pressure demand

respirators. This system operates on standard 115 volt/60hz/20 amp electrical service. The system produces

pressure up to 110psi (7.5 bar) that is monitored by a built in pressure gauge. Note: The TA-3 must have a Grade-D

filtration unit attached to the compressor to make a complete breathing air package. Any 30 or 60 minute air

cylinder can be slid into the TA-3 frame and with the addition of a pressure reducing regulator and an Auto-Air

Breather Box™, you now have a 3-man compressor with full automatic backup air for IDLH operation (Model COMP-

3EA). The compressor should be connected to the filtration unit with a minimum 0.5 inch I.D. breathing air hose.

CONSTANT FLOW RESPIRATORS CANNOT BE USED WITH THIS SYSTEM!

Note: Always run, store, or ship the compressor in the horizontal position. Never stand the unit upright as

oil will drain from the sump and cause damage to the compressor. Check compressor oil level before each usage.

A 7/8" wrench is required to loosen the nut on the oil sump. Oil should be level with the bottom of the internal

threads. DO NOT OVERFILL. If oil level is low, add only Air Systems' approved oil. Order part number HP-268

USDA synthetic lubricant.

Warning: Always locate compressor in a fresh air environment away from toxic dusts, vapors, and fumes.

STEP 1)

Compressor must be attached to a Grade-

D filtration unit. A minimum 1/2" I.D. hose

is to be used between the compressor and

the Grade-D filtration unit.

STEP 2)

Plug compressor into a 115 volt

receptacle with a dedicated 20 amp

service. Note: If an extension

cord is going to be used, the cord

must be rated for a minimum 20

amp service (12/3 gauge).

STEP 5)

Adjust the regulator on the Grade-D filtration unit to the required

output pressure (psi) of the pressure demand respirator. Review

manual on the Grade-D filtration unit and carbon monoxide monitor

for details on operation, service, and calibration before commencing

work. Attach and don respirator.

Note: Do not replace the coupling supplied on the compres-

sor tank outlet except with a checked style coupling of at least 1/2"

I.D. Do not use a Chicago style coupling on this type of compres-

sor.

STEP 4)

Attach respirator supply hose to outlet fittings

on Grade-D filtration unit. Never leave an open

(unused) respirator attached to the system as

output pressure will not be maintained.

STEP 3)

Turn on the compressor and note the gauge

pressure reading on the compressor. Al-

low twin receiver tanks to fill to system

pressure 110psi (7.5 bar) output.
