User questions & answers

Question:	what's it's dBA
Answer:	The duty cycle is 50% based on the WEN product manual. That means the intended operation is 5 minutes on and then 5 minutes off (50% duty). AKA, not intended for continuous operation. Cut-in and cut-out pressure is approximately 105/135PSI. Meaning when pressure reaches 135PSI it stops and when pressure in tank drops below 105PSI it turns on to fill.
Question:	Is there a way to automatically drain air slowly after use? Or must you do it manually by pulling a lever
Answer:	WEN 2289 10-Gallon (Oil-Free) Vertical Air Compressor, 150 PSI
Question:	What is the duty cycle
Answer:	Yes, This cac smart card reader support bank card, DOD Military Cards, CAC Cards, Government ID, National ID, ActivClient, AKO, OWA, DKO, JKO, NKO, BOL, GKO, Marinenet, AF Portal, Pure Edge Viewer, ApproveIt, DCO, DTS, LPS, Disa Enterprise Email etc.
Question:	I see some reviews saying the motor blew up or quit after 1 use. Are the units shipped without oil in them
Answer:	Yes, it works fine.

User questions & answers

Question:	altonindustries has nothing to do with this product who is the manufacture
Answer:	Your guess is good as mine. I purchased this compressor in 2015. Called George in customer service. I was told to take the heads off and, I explained to George, there was so many foreign bodies of metal and crap. I have used the compressor to air tires and clean chain on bicycles. The tank would not hold air, motor never shut off. For the next 2 years, I provided hospice care to my mother and father in law plus I broke my back. My complaint about the possibility of working with George on getting it replaced fell on deaf ears because now the defective compressor is out of warranty. I'm going to be a reasonable person here, you know George, sometimes life is a priority over a defective product and worthless warranty. I now have a 120# paper weight.
Question:	where can we read the warranty on this product ? craftsman and ace don't have this model
Answer:	My drain valve is on the very bottom of the tank
Question:	I bought the hose recommended above, but evidently needs some kind of adapter, which 1 or what am I missing
Answer:	Mexico.
Question:	One Safty Valve 1 Automatic air tank pressure safe valve for safty, is this a 1/4 or
Answer:	More CFM? No, but there is a side benefit associated with 240V operation: less extraneous power loss in the motor windings, creating less heat, and in theory, extending the motor life over its brother 120V motor.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I use this for mobile auto detailing
Answer:	No. It does come with one switch and the wiring harness has provisions for two additional switches and two solenoids at the compressor end of the harness. The instructions state that the solenoids and switches are part of the ARB locker kit(s). You can probably also buy switches and solenoids separately.
Question:	Can you use this with a regular outlet
Answer:	We do ship to the UK, but do not have a way to do it through Amazon. We handle it through Paypal only. This item ships in a USPS Priority Mail medium flat rate box for about $65.Thanks,Tom
Question:	CFM at 90 psi? 40 psi
Answer:	I cannot believe Amazon and ARB have not jumped on the fact that they do NOT list "what's in the box"! Shame on Amazon!Check the ARB website.It does indeed come with all you listed above except I am not sure if it has the mounting clamp or backing plate. I bought mine as a replacement for the same unit after 7 years of service. I did not need anything except the compressor. Good luck.
Question:	What is the Amps it has
Answer:	Here is a video I uploaded onto youtube. The compressor is mounted to a piece of 3/4" partical board (I still need to carpet it), which is mounted to some 1"x1"x1/8" angle steel, which I sandwich clamped onto my Garvin Wilderness interior rack in my 2015 Xterra which the legs were wrapped with a few wraps of "F4" or "self fusing tape" as found here on Amazon. The prevents damaging the finish on the legs, and provides another layer of vibration and noise dampening. Please note, I did not rehearse the recording so I say a few mistakes here or there, but you will get the point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVDWN7hc_Fk

User questions & answers

Question:	If the connection to the compressor is 3/8 and the connection to the air tool(s) is 1/4, how do I connect the two? Coupler (I'm assuming
Answer:	you don't connect the two. the 3/8" they are describing is from the outlet of the compressor into the tank, and it is hard piped. you only need to work with the air chuck fitting, and it is standard 1/4" air fitting.
Question:	How many Decibels in operation
Answer:	This is 84 decibels.
Question:	Has anyone ever used this compressor with an impact wrench
Answer:	Yeah, used it many times on my vehicles. I haven't ran into any problems or tools that it can't power. I am using a better than average impact and it doesn't run out if air pulling the tires, all at once while on a lift, off my jeep.
Question:	Can it be used on its side
Answer:	Not completely on its side because the water (if hasn't been drained) can cause problem. If completely drain the water then it won't be a problem. Hope this helps.
