AIR COMPRESSOR
OIL-LESS DIAPHRAGM AIR COMPRESSOR
NEEDS NO LUBRICATION
(115 VOLT, 60 CYCLE, 3 AMPS., 1/10 H.P.)
The D500 Air Compressor is suitable for all

most economical Air Compressor Paasche offers to
the art, hobby and craft fields. It is capable of
delivering up to 40 lbs. air pressure, is an oil-less

INSTRUCTIONS:
BEFORE OPERATING COMPRESSOR, READ AND
FOLLOW DIRECTIONS AS OUTLINED BELOW.
1. Assemble No. 25 (D535 Bleeder Valve) to Air
Outlet Port in position as shown on drawing and
tighten securely with Knurled Stem facing up.
2. Open Bleeder Valve by turning Hex Nut, then Knurled
Stem counterclockwise, approximately 1/2 turn, this
prevents compressor from having to start under load.
DO NOT close Bleeder Valve completely as
Compressor may not start under pressure.
3. Set Compressor on floor. Compressor vibrates
and may “walk” off elevated surfaces, possibly
causing damage to unit or injury to you.
4. Plug cord into 115 V., 60 Cy., grounded outlet.
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS:
This product should be grounded. In the event of an
electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electrical shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This product is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding
plug. The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
DANGER—Improper use of the grounding plug can
result in a risk of electrical shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is
necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either
flat blade terminal. The wire with insulation having an
outer surface that is green with or without yellow
stripes is the grounding wire.
Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the
grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly
grounded. DO NOT modify the plug provided; if it will
not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a
qualified electrician.
This product is for use on nominal 120-volt circuit and
has a grounding plug that looks like the plug illustrated
in sketch below.
Make sure that the product is
connected to an outlet having the same configuration as
the plug. No adapter should be used with this product.
EXTENSION CORDS:
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that will accept
the plug on the product. Make sure your extension cord
is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be
sure to use one heavy enough to carry the current the
product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop
in line voltage resulting in loss of power and overheating.
