Operation
Definition of Terms
ON / OFF Switch ( I / O )
- Push switch
to the ON (
I
) position to turn
compressor on. Push switch to the OFF (
O
) position to turn compressor off. This
switch should be in the OFF (
O
)
position when connecting /
disconnecting power cord from
electrical outlet or when changing tools.
Pressure Switch (located internally)
-
When the compressor is turned ON,
this switch will shut compressor off
automatically when tank pressure
reaches maximum shut-off / cut-out
pressure. If compressor remains on and
air is depleted from tank, this switch
will allow compressor to automatically
restart at the restart / cut-in pressure.
Regulator
- The regulator controls the
amount of air pressure released at the
hose outlet. Turning the regulator knob
clockwise (to the right) will increase air
pressure at the outlet. Turning the knob
counter-clockwise (to the left) will lower
air pressure to the outlet. Turning knob
fully counter-clockwise will shut off flow
of air completely.
Pressure Gauges
- There are two
gauges located next to the regulator.
These gauges read air pressure in
pounds per square inch (psi) The larger
gauge shows pressure at the outlet.
Make sure this gauge reads ZERO (by
adjusting the regulator) BEFORE
changing air tools or disconnecting hose
from outlet. The small gauge shows
pressure in the tank indicating
compressor is building pressure properly.
ASME Safety Valve
- This valve
automatically releases air if the tank
pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
Handle
- Designed to move the
compressor.
Drain Valve
- This valve is located on
the bottom of the tank. Use this valve
to drain moisture from the tank daily
to reduce the risk of corrosion.
Motor Reset -
(not shown, located
inside motor). Designed to keep the
motor from overheating. The motor
has an auto reset protector. To reset
once the motor has cooled, turn the
switch to the OFF position, then to the
ON position.
This compressor is
equipped with an
overload protector which will shut off
motor if it becomes overloaded.
If the overload
protector is
actuated, the motor must be allowed to
cool down for approximately 30 minutes
before it will reset.

BEFORE FIRST STARTUP
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
(Complete this procedure before using
compressor for the first time. Once
completed, it is not necessary to repeat.)
1. Turn regulator knob fully clockwise
(to the right) to open air flow.
2. Do not attach a hose or any other
fitting to the compressor.
3. Turn on/off switch to OFF position.
4. Plug in power cord.
5. Turn on/off switch to ON position.
Allow compressor to run for 5 min.
6. Turn on/off switch to OFF position.
7. Unplug power cord.
BEFORE EACH STARTUP
OPERATING PROCEDURE
1. Turn switch to OFF (
O
) position and
plug in power cord.
2. Turn regulator knob
counterclockwise to close air flow.
3. Turn switch to ON (
I
) position.
4. Compressor will build to maximum
pressure and shut off.
5. With hose attached to outlet of
compressor, attach tire chuck or
other tool to open end of hose.
6. Adjust regulator to proper pressure
for tool or tire. Operate tool per
instructions.
As air is depleted from the tank by use
of a tire chuck, tool, etc., the
compressor will restart automatically at
its preset “cut-in” pressure. When a
tool is being used continuously, the
compressor will cycle on and off
automatically.
7. Turn switch to OFF (
O
) position,
unplug power cord and drain tank of
air when finished using compressor.
