@@ThrownSparksGarage Your welcome, always think it thru . I seen plenty men early on cut in half from a disability with bad backs because of not thinking it thru. heck just being a tradesmen till you retire could wear you down thin, I barely made it and I was careful but worked very very hard. I have the same compressor I pamper mine I just put in the Royal purple supposedly never breaks down www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BRTCIS/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I would double check the owners manual to make sure you have the right sized breaker for the air compressor. If that’s not the problem, double check you aren’t shorting anything in the on/off switch with your wiring.
After watching you carry that I realize I'm in the wrong place lol. I do have a question, when you bought it did you keep it upright or can I lay it down in the back of my truck cuz I got a topper on it...
Yeah that was definitely a time where I wish I had an extra set of hands to help lol. When I purchased it, it came on a pallet but I brought tools with me so I could remove it and then transported it the same way that you are planning on. I would recommend to bring something soft to rest it on and watch the orientation of the motor so it’s not putting to much stress on itself when you lay it down.
What size breaker did you use for the plug ? I have the husky red 60 gallon. It says 15 amp on the tank I’m just curious ! I’m about to do the same installation thanks for the video
So my breaker is a little oversized because I weld off of the same circuit. Which isn’t ideal for the compressor because it will allow it to draw more current before tripping but that’s the risk I’m taking with using a 30 amp breaker. If this is a dedicated circuit for the air compressor I would size it based on the recommendation for the air compressor.
Hi. Thanks for the video. I just bought that same compressor at Home Depot, but I can't find the 240 volt power connector, and I don't know where I can buy it ... I would appreciate a suggestion. Thank you.
The power chord I used came off of an old welder that I scrapped. Your best bet would probably be to see if you have a local welding shop near ya and they could get you a properly sized power chord; or you may get lucky finding one at a local scrap yard. Hope this helps!
I brought husky 60 gallon 1-phase 175 PSI and used it just 2 times, it is not working now. The engaineer told us the switch has broken and always easy broken. So shall i exchange a new one or return it back?
I have the same compressor and everything to go along with it except when I turned it on it did 2 things 1.was quiter 2. It won’t turn back on now any help is appreciated
I would double check the oil level and the switch on top, my switch was a little finicky at first and I needed to adjust how I wired it together. Also maybe check your breaker to ensure it’s sized properly and your input power as well.

It’s held up great so far, I’ve had a few days where I’ve really put the coals to it and it worked without any issues. The only thing I would recommend is replacing the drain valve that comes on it with something a little more reliable
Haha, that looked heavy, just wondered if the oil was in it already or did you have to put it in, I ordered one but I wanted to lay it down when I go get it but if it has oil in it I won't be able to do that, Thanks for the info in advance.
Mine gets pretty hot as well. I haven’t had any issues with it because of this, but do have it separated so it doesn’t heat my garage up in the summer.
@@ThrownSparksGarage thnx for the reply, video was informational. had to watcha few to get everything understood but no one ever mentions that the bigger compressor tanks produce so much heat. It kinda had me worried. I know the actual pumps do but was not aware the actual tanks get hot.
@@mikeammargon6847 I haven't had issues with it. Depending on the size wire you use and the length from your breaker to the compressor you may need to adjust. But 20 amp has worked for me.
Moved it like a boss!!!
Thank you , and hello from Naples , Fl and Miami , FL , merry Christmas 12-06-23

I appreciate it man, definitely one of those scenarios where I got tired of waiting and just went for it!
You just manhandled that compressor outside! LOL. Wow
#labcoatlarry out here getting gains! 💪💪💪
WTF BRO SO YOU JUST GOING TO PICK THAT COMPRESSOR UP BY YOURSELF DAMNNNNNNN. I HAD TO CALL SOME HELP HAHAHA.
that dudes a TANK! guess it takes a tank to move a tank now that I think about it, pretty sure its in the U.S. Army hand book.
It's only 200 lbs.

Gracias
is it true its a single stage but operates like dual stage? false advertisement?
I can’t save for sure since I’ve never used dual stage, but I don’t have any complaints so far.
20a double pole breaker with 12/3 SO cord also a 20a male cord cap.
What?
Did he just carry that thing???
Mine turns off after like a minute and won’t turn on anymore until I reset it does that over and over
If mine trips the breaker every time I turn it on what do you think the issue is?
I would double check the owners manual to make sure you have the right sized breaker for the air compressor. If that’s not the problem, double check you aren’t shorting anything in the on/off switch with your wiring.

@@ThrownSparksGarage My compressor came from the factory w/oil in it. I was told "do not lay it down"!
Probably a good call, that was my only way to move it, I did leave it upright for 2 days before plugging it in
@@bertgordon5114 I put it on its side and lost a shitton of oil, speaking of, which oil works for this and how do you check it?

Throw'n Sparks Garage OK, thank you so much.🤝
@@strungoutkid where did you finally get the power cord from?
Where did you get the power cord from?
Hi friend could you share a photo of the internal connection of the motor to know how the cables go, I would appreciate it regards!
It isn't letting me attach a image here. send me an email at thrownsparksgarage@gmail.com and I will send it to you!
So how do you wire that? Is that 2 hots and ground on a 2 pole breaker or hot neutral and ground 1 pole breaker? I just bought this compressor
It’ll be a 2 pole breaker since it needs 240v input power and I used a power cable for an old welder to hook it up (green, white, and black).
@@ThrownSparksGarage ok so you are using the white as a hot right. Thank you brother 🙏
@@marco209lodi5 Not 100% sure on that, I just followed the electrical diagram in the owners manual when wiring it up.
@@ThrownSparksGarage he is correct...2 hots and a ground. Neutral is not always needed in 240v applications
i saw that there was no neautral wire...just a ground and 2 hots (being that its 240v)
You confused me when you said neutral lol
thanks for the vid!
Yeah I get the 4 wire and 3 wire 240 plug terminology mixed up all the time lol
Did the pump need a break in?
Yes the pump did need a break in, I cant remember how long but I believe I mention it in the video.
I brought husky 60 gallon 1-phase 175 PSI and used it just 2 times, it is not working now. The engaineer told us the switch has broken and always easy broken. So shall i exchange a new one or return it back?
I would try to replace the switch itself as it shouldn't be to hard to remove. Would probably be easier than trying to take the whole machine back.
@@ThrownSparksGarageYes, the machine is too heavy for me. How long have you use it? Have you exchanged a switch until now?
I’ve had it for about 2 years, no issues yet. The switch itself has always seemed kinda junky to me but it hasn’t cause me any problems yet.
Does this run on 120 or 240? I bought a display and have no instructions to it and am not educated in these things.
If you have the same model as me, it will need 240V input power.
I have the same compressor and everything to go along with it except when I turned it on it did 2 things 1.was quiter 2. It won’t turn back on now any help is appreciated

So how has it held up! Great info on video to bro! I wanting to buy one for some painting projects I got coming up
It’s held up great so far, I’ve had a few days where I’ve really put the coals to it and it worked without any issues. The only thing I would recommend is replacing the drain valve that comes on it with something a little more reliable
so did you just plugged it in after that
No, I let it stand up for a full day since I had to lay it down to transport it.
@@ThrownSparksGarage I ment did u put a plug on it and plug it to the wall
Yes, standard 240V plug.
thank appreciate the response keep up the good work
Que cable usaste boy a conectar uno igualito solo no se si es:12/2 ...o 14/2
Being 240V, the manual says to use at least a 10 AWG wire size
Haha, that looked heavy, just wondered if the oil was in it already or did you have to put it in, I ordered one but I wanted to lay it down when I go get it but if it has oil in it I won't be able to do that, Thanks for the info in advance.
Mine came with the oil in it, I just rolled the dice a bit and stood it up for 24 hours before starting it since I had to lay mine down.
i just got one of these compressors. My tank gets really hot. is that normal?

What side fittings did you use/order?
I can’t remember off the top of my head, but I believe it was standard size. They had everything I needed at my local hardware store.
WHAT ARE THOOOOOSE?!? 👟🐊
Those are a working mans crocs!
i need to reduce pressure
Hi this compresor it’s 120 volt ??
No it is 240V
seeing that makes my hernia repair hurt.
hey buddy what size breaker did you go with?
I believe the owners manual call out a draw of 15A for this motor. I used a 20A breaker since I had a spare one laying around.
@@ThrownSparksGarage never tripped out???
@@mikeammargon6847 I haven't had issues with it. Depending on the size wire you use and the length from your breaker to the compressor you may need to adjust. But 20 amp has worked for me.
30 amp work good.
