AIR COMPRESSOR

Test Run 

Before using the air compressor for the first time.             
Complete a test run as follows: 

1.  

Turn the power switch to the OFF position.                         
Plug the power supply cord into a power supply socket.                             
Start the air compressor by turning the power switch to the ON 
position.                                                                             
The pressure gauge reading will slowly rise as pressure 
increases inside the air tank.                                            
When the gauge reading reaches  120 PSI - 125 PSI, the 
pressure switch will automatically turn the power off.           
This indicates the compressor is working normally.

Daily Operation

 

Starting the compressor: 

1.

 Turn the power switch to the OFF position. 

2.

 Attach the air hose to the 1/4” male industrial quick connect 

coupler. Push the male coupler into the female coupler on the 
air compressor. 

3.

 Close the drain valve.   

4.  Have air filters attached 

5.

  Plug the power supply cord into a power supply socket. 

6.

 Turn the power switch to the ON position. 

7.

  Let the motor run and tank fill until motor turns off. 

8.  

To regulate the air flow.  

     While the air compressor is running, turn “On” your tool and  

     turn the regulator knob to the right increasing the pressure.  

     Turn the pressure up until the desired pressure is reached. 

9.  

Operate air tool normally.  

     Do Not Exceed 1 hour of continuous (non-stop motor running) 

 

Shutting down the compressor: 

1.

 Turn the power switch to the OFF position. 

2.

 Unplug the power supply cord. 

3.

 Reduce the pressure in the air tank through the air hose.

Air compressor surfaces become hot during 
operation.

DO NOT touch hot surfaces, because they can cause 
severe burns.

Do not touch the air compressor’s cylinder head. 
During operation, the cooling fins of the cylinder 
head and delivery pipe become hot.

Allow the air compressor to cool before touching it.

DO NOT place a storage cover on the unit during 
operation. Only place a cover on the air compressor 
after it has thoroughly cooled down.

FIRE

HOT SURFACE

WARNING

Flying objects can cause injury to the eyes, head and 
other parts of the body.

Air-powered equipment and power tools are capable 
of propelling items (metal chips, fasteners and 
particulates) at high speed into the air and could 
result in injury.

Always wear approved head and eye protection.

Never point the air stream at any part of your body, 
or at another person or animal.

When operating the air compressor, make sure all 
other people and animals maintain a safe distance.

Do not move the air compressor when the air tank is 
under pressure. 

Never use the air hoses to pull or move the air 
compressor.

Keep the air compressor on a flat surface.

WARNING

FLYING OBJECTS

Note: 

If the Air Compressor is not working properly, the 

pressure gauge will indicate that there is a decrease in 
pressure in the air tank. If there is an air leak from the 
compressor the pressure in the air tank decreases, the 
pressure switch resets and the motor automatically turns 
back on. 

If you detect an air leakage, turn the power switch to the 
Off position, release the air from the tank by pulling on 
the safety valve. Unplug the power supply cord and contact 
Customer Support for Assistance.

Turn the power switch to the Off position, unplug the power 
supply cord and release the air in the  tank by pulling on the 
safety valve. At this point proceed to the next step (daily 
operations).
