Unpacking
Site Placement
When determining where to set up the
compressor in the shop, or when taking the
air compressor to a job site, the most
important consideration is access to an
adequate and properly fused power sup-
ply. Refer to Circuit Requirements for the
needs of your particular compressor.
This air compressor is shipped from the
manufacturer in a carefully packed carton.
If you discover the machine is damaged
after you have signed for delivery, and the
truck and driver are gone, you will need to
file a freight claim with the carrier. Save the
containers and all packing materials for
possible inspection by the carrier or its
agent. Without the packing materials, filing
a freight claim can be difficult. If you need
assistance determining whether you need
to file a freight claim, or with the procedure
to file one, please contact our Customer
Service at (570) 546-9663.
Also, make sure the compressor is not
operating in an environment where there
are any explosive, flammable or caustic
fumes or gases. A clear and well ventilated
area is best for its safe operation.
Place the compressor on a solid and level
surface. Make sure that the hoses you
attach to your pneumatic device will be
unrestricted in movement and not subject
to being run over by vehicles or punctured
by any sharp objects in the area.
Since air compressors are often used for a
sustained period of time, sometimes in
restricted areas, it is also best to wear ear
protection to avoid long term exposure to
the sound of the electric motor and com-
pression pump.
The Model H3372 represents a heavy
load at 142 pounds. Seek assistance
before moving.
Do not place the compressor next to
any flammable liquids or gas! The
compressor cylinder head and feed
pipe can reach high temperatures and
could cause the flammable gas to
ignite. Keep work area clear from
flammable gas when using the com-
pressor.
Long term exposure to this machine
may cause hearing loss. Wear
approved hearing protection while
operating this machine to minimize
this risk!

ing reduces the risk of electric shock by
providing a path of least resistance to dis-
perse electric current. These machines are
equipped with power cords having an
equipment-grounding conductor. See
Figure 1. The outlet must be properly
installed and grounded in accordance with
all local codes and ordinances.
Wiring:
The Model H3372 3 HP Air Compressor is
wired for 220V operation.
Amperage Draw
The Model H3372 has a 3 HP motor and
draws the following amperage.
H3372 Motor.................................18 Amps
Circuit Breaker Requirements
Install your air compressor on a dedicated
circuit to reduce the possibility of overload-
ing the circuit and tripping the circuit break-
er. However, if an unusual load does not
exist, and the circuit breaker still trips, have
the circuit inspected by a qualified electri-
cian. Never use a larger circuit breaker
than stated below, or you will increase the
risk of fire.
Figure 1. Ground plug configuration.
Circuit Breaker...........20 Amp Double Pole
Extension Cords
If you find it necessary to use an extension
cord with your compressor, make sure the
cord is rated Standard Service (grade S) or
better. The extension cord must also con-
tain a ground wire and plug pin. Always
repair or replace extension cords when
they become worn or damaged.
Potential for electrical shock haz-
ard, this equipment must be
grounded. Verify that any existing
electrical outlet and circuit you
use is actually grounded.

PREPARING FOR USE
Before using your Grizzly Air
Compressor, follow these steps :
NOTICE
1. Remove all packing materials and any
protective plastic bags, zip-tie labels
or tags from the compressor cylinder
head or oil plug.
The machine should never be run
without a full oil reservoir. The oil
provides lubrication to the cylinder
rings which deliver the compressed
air. Severe damage to the internal
moving parts can occur if there is
not adequate oil flow. Check the oil
level frequently, and change the oil
on a regular schedule.
2. Be sure the air filter is attached to the
cylinder head as shown in Figure 2.
Duty Cycle
The Model H3372 3 HP Air Compressor
should not be operated on more than a
50% duty cycle. This means an air com-
pressor that pumps air for over 30 minutes
in one hour is considered misuse. This
could mean that the air compressor is
undersized for the required air demand.
The maximum compressor pump time per
hour is 30 minutes.
Figure 2. Air filter attached to
cylinder head.
3. ADD OIL TO THE CRANKCASE. Oil
has been supplied with your air com-
pressor. The oil level should be in the
center of the sight gauge shown in
Figure 3.
Always be aware of the duty cycle for
your air compressor. Failure to oper-
ate the air compressor properly
could result in overheating and
motor seizure. There could also be
risk of fire hazard due to overheat-
ing. Be sure to use a compressor
capable of handling the air demand.
Figure 3.
Proper oil level.
4. Make sure the drain valve under the
air tank is closed.

STARTING
To start the air compressor:
Check the pressure gauge to see that the
tank pressure climbs to approximately 100-
115 PSI or around 8 BAR, then automati-
cally turns off.
1.
Make sure the compressor switch is
in the OFF position (knob with red
cap above pressure gauges shown
in Figure 4 pressed down) before
connecting the power supply.
Note—If the compressor does not auto-
matically kick off, flip the ON/OFF switch to
OFF before pressure gets too high. See
the Pressure Regulator sub-section.
Operating this equipment has the
potential for flying debris to cause
eye injury. Always wear safety glass-
es or goggles when operating equip-
ment. Everyday glasses or reading
glasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are not safety glasses.
Be certain the safety glasses you
wear meet the appropriate standards
of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).

AIR CONTROL
Air Release
Delivered Pressure
The tank pressure is displayed on the left
pressure gauge, and the air to be delivered
to the tool is displayed on the right pres-
sure gauge shown in Figure 6.
There are two ways to release air from the
compressor tank other than through your
regulator and the use of air tools:
—The drain valve.
—The safety drain valve.
To release air by using the drain valve,
simply turn the release nut to allow air to
flow out of the tank. The drain valve is
shown in Figure 5. The drain valve is also
used to drain condensation that builds up
in the tank.
The safety valve automatically releases
pressure if the tank reaches 130 PSI.
Figure 6. Pressure gauges.
To manually release the air in the tank
by using the safety drain valve:
To control the air delivery to your tool:
1. Locate the safety drain valve on the
tank. The drain valve is shown below
in Figure 8.
1. Adjust the air control knob, shown in
Figure 7, to set the PSI that will be
delivered to your tool. Turn the knob
clockwise to increase the pressure
and counter-clockwise to decrease
the pressure.
Figure 8. Safety drain valve.
2. Pull the metal ring on top of the safe-
ty valve to bleed pressure from the
tank. Note—The ring is preset to
release air if the tank exceeds its
maximum pressure of 130 PSI. DO
NOT try to adjust the safety valve!
Figure 7. Air control knob.
Note—The air tool that you attach to the air
compressor should have a preferred PSI
operating level. Set the pressure to be
delivered to the tool according to this pre-
ferred level. Understand the duty cycle
of the air compressor that is described
on page 7.

Tank Pressure
Regulator
To adjust the pressure regulator:
1. Unplug the air compressor from
the power supply.
The pressure regulator has been factory
set for the highest quality operating perfor-
mance.
2. Make sure the compressor switch is in
the OFF position.
3. Drain the pressure from the tank.
The pressure regulator adjusts the desired
PSI range where the air compressor kicks
in and out to keep the tank pressurized for
the best operating performance.
4. Remove the black ON/OFF switch
cover by removing the screw which is
in the recess on the top of the cover.
Pull the black cover up and set it
aside.
NOTICE
HP Air
Compressors have been factory set
to kick off at the proper PSI range.
Only attempt to adjust the pressure
regulator if your air compressor
does not reach or pressurizes
beyond the proper PSI level.
5. Turn the pressure adjustment bolt
(Figure 9) a half turn clockwise to
increase the tank pressure and a half
turn counter-clockwise to decrease
the pressure.

CONNECTING TOOLS
To connect air tools to your air com-
pressor:
Consideration should also be given to the
type of usage. A nailer or staple gun uses
air in short bursts and it is easier for the
compressor to maintain pressure. A paint
sprayer or grinder tends to use a more
continuous stream of air as these tools are
run for longer time periods. It is always
better to oversize a compressor to allow
for variation in the type of usage and the
number of tools to be powered. Air tools
being operated with insufficient air volume
will not perform their function satisfactorily.
1. Make sure the compressor model you
use has a sufficient cubic feet per
minute (CFM) output for the air tool
you plan to connect. (Most air tools
will have an air requirement stated in
terms of a specific CFM at a specific
pressure.)
2. The compressor should put out a
higher CFM than the tool requires.
—If you are connecting multiple tools
that will be used simultaneously, then
the CFM for each tool should be
added together and compared to the
compressor output value.
3. Connect the tool, using a good quality
air line with an adequate length to
reach from the compressor to the
point of use.
Note—Quick-connect couplers, shown in
Figure 10, are a good option for fast and
sure connection of tools and air hoses.
This accessory and many like it can be
found in the Grizzly Catalog.
Always disconnect air hose from
tools whenever not in use or while
servicing! During maintenance, a
tool connected to air may operate
accidentally, causing serious per-
sonal injury!
The Model H3372
3
HP Air
Compressors are specifically
designed for air tool operation. DO
NOT MODIFY OR USE THIS
MACHINE FOR ANY OTHER PUR-
POSE. Modifications or improper
use of this tool will void the warran-
ty. If you are confused about any
aspect of this machine, DO NOT use
it until you have answered all your
questions. Serious personal injury
may occur.
Figure 10. Quick connect couplers.
Make certain the air hose will not be placed
in a position where it can become con-
stricted or cut by a sharp object. Note—
Running over a hose with heavy vehicles
may not cause an immediate leak, but it
will shorten the life of the hose.

and plugs.
5. Check the air pressure in the tires
when transporting the air compressor.
6. Check for any other condition that
could hamper the safe operation of
this machine.
Check the following items:
1. Check Oil Level! Use the sight gauge
on the bottom of the crankcase to
make sure the oil level is at the prop-
er height.
Always wear safety glasses and use
extreme caution when working
around compressed air. The force of
the air stream can cause small bits
of debris to become airborne and
cause potential injury to the eyes or
other parts of the body.
2. Drain the tanks of any condensation
by opening the drain valve on the bot-
tom of the tank. Note—Depending
upon the amount of use and the
weather conditions, a certain amount
of condensed water may be released.
For longevity of the compressor seals
and the air tools you connect, it is best
to keep the tanks free of water. The
tanks are best drained if the drain
valve is open when the system is
pressurized. Once water has stopped
coming out, you can close the drain
valve.
