Purchased this compressor for intermittent use. On day 367, it began to make a terrible noise. Went to check it out to find the key from the flywheel shaft mangled on the floor and the flywheel spinning on the compressor shaft. I shut it down and took off the guard to find the flywheel loose and the shaft all mangled.
Waiting to see how Canadian Tire resolves my issue.
No, I do not recommend this product.

Q: L'installation nécessité un disjoncteur de combien d'ampère?
Puisque je l'installe moi-même, j'ai besoin de savoir le nombre d’ampérage. Il faudrait que je le branche à un 240V/30 amp. Est-ce trop haut?
Merci pour votre support
A: Si vous opter pour une installation "temporaire" :
En fait, le code électrique spécifie que la protection de surintensité protège les conducteurs, et non pas l'équipement. Il n'y a donc aucun problème d'installer une prise 240V 30A, et de raccorder le compresseur à cette prise, tant que le calibre du fil soit suffisamment élevé.
Si vous optez pour une installation permanente :
Lorsqu'il s'agit d'un moteur qui doit être raccordé de façon permanente, comme dans ce cas-ci, il faut que la protection soit de 150% le FLA du moteur (Full load amp), donc pour un moteur qui consomme 14A comme celui-ci, il faut pouvoir supporter 21A, donc un circuit de 20A sera trop faible, et parfois le disjoncteur débarquera lors de service intense.
En résumé, un disjoncteur de 30A,(à moins que 25A soit disponible dans votre modèle de boîte électrique) du câble de cuivre assez gros (10AWG ou mieux 8AWG) une prise de soudeuse, et le tour est joué.

Q: What else is required to get power to this unit? IE. Mag.Switches?
9 years ago
1 Answer
A: For our MAXIMUM 60 gallon unit a magnetic starter is not needed but would be good for the unit if you wanted to use one. The mag starter is not needed because the motor comes with a thermal switch built in so the motor will shut down on its own if it gets too hot and the pressure switch is rated as a 25Amp switch so it can handle the switching on/off . As stated in our manual, all that is needed is dedicated 240V service with either a breaker or electrical disconnect that can be used to cut power to the unit if needed. Please make sure you are also using the appropriately size wire and meeting all local electrical codes.

Q: Quelles sont les dimensions hors-tout (largeur, profondeur et hauteur)?
Q: Pour le transport, est-ce qu'on peut coucher le compresseur avant son installation?
Puis-je le coucher pour le transport? Je voudrais l'embarquer dans ma Caravan, mais je devrai le coucher. Sinon, je dois prévoir un alternatif avant l'achat en magasin.
A: Cet article ne doit pas être posé sur son côté comme il l'a huile dans la pompe et se poursuivra à travers le bouchon de ventilation ... il est déconseillé par nous et pourrait annuler la garantie si l'huile pénètre dans les zones Il ne devrait pas.
