1. Close the air tank ball valve (G) by turning clockwise.

2. Plug in the power cord (J).

3. Set the ON/OFF switch (I) to the I (on) position and allow t

ank pressure to build. Motor will stop 

when tank pressure reaches “cut-out” pressure. 

4. Turn the air pressure regulator (D) clockwise until desire

d pressure is reached.

5. The compressor is ready for use.        

WARNING

HOW TO SHUT DOWN 

1. Set the ON/OFF switch (I) to the O (off) position.

2. Unplug the power cord (J).

3. Reduce the pressure in the tank through the outlet hose. Pul

ling the pressure relief valve ring (H) and 

keeping it open will also reduce the pressure in the tank.

4. Tip the compressor so the tank drain valve is at the bottom of the tank, then open the tank drain valve 

counterclockwise to allow moisture to drain from the tank.       

CAUTION! 

Escaping air and moisture can propel debr is that may cause eye injury. Wear safety glasses when  

opening the drain valve. 

WARNING! 

To avoid personal injury, always shut off and unplug the unit and relieve all air pressure from the 

system before performing any service on the air compressor.  

 

Risk of unsafe operation. Unit cycles automatically when power is on. When performing 

maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air or moving parts. Personal 

injuries can occur. Before performing any maintenance or repair, disconnect power source from the 

compressor and bleed off all air pressure.     

 

Operating Instructions

                                                     Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of bursting. Check 

the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet 

pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.       

When adjusting from a higher to a lower pressure,

the knob counterclockwise past the desired setting. Then

turn clockwise to reach the desired pressure.              
  Do not exceed operating pressure of the tool or accessory 

being used.     

High temperatures are generated by the electric motor 

and the pump. To prevent burns or other injuries, 

  DO NOT touch the compressor while it is running. 

Allow it to cool before handling or servicing. 

  Keep children away from the compressor at all times.
