Operation

 START-UP

 This 

compressor 

   pump must be fi lled 

with oil before startup. See lubrication 
section.

 

  Do not attach air 

   tools to open end of 

the hose until start-up is completed and 
the unit checks OK.

 

    Never disconnect  

    threaded joints with 

pressure in tank!

 1.  

Check for proper oil level. See 
Lubrication Section.

2.  Open tank drain valve.

3.  Turn pressure switch lever or knob 

to OFF position and plug in power 
cord.

4.  Turn pressure switch lever or knob to 

AUTO position and run unit for 30 
minutes to break in the pump parts 
(See Figure 10).

5.  Turn regulator knob fully 

counterclockwise. Compressor will 
build to maximum preset pressure 
and shut off.

6.  Turn regulator knob clockwise to 

cause air to bleed off. Compressor 
will restart at preset pressure.

7.  Turn pressure switch lever or knob to 

OFF position and unplug powercord. 
Slowly turn regulator knob clockwise 
to allow all air pressure to be 
released. Do not proceed to the next 
step until the tank pressure reaches 
zero (0).

8.  Attach hose, then add chuck or 

other tool to open end of hose. Plug 
in powercord. Turn pressure switch 
lever to AUTO position. When full 
pressure is reached turn regulator 
knob clockwise until desired outlet 
pressure is achieved.

9.  After use, turn pressure switch lever 

or knob to the Off position.

10. If compressor is not used for a long 

time period, bleed air from line 
and use drain valve to drain water 
from the tank. Then, follow the 
maintenance schedule.

 NOTE:

  Electric models are equipped 

with a pressure switch that 
automatically turns the motor OFF 
when the tank pressure reaches a preset 
level. After air is used from the tank and 
drops to a preset low level, the pressure 
switch automatically turns the motor 
back on.

Maintenance

 

Disconnect,    tag and lock out 
power source, then release 
all pressure from the system 
before attempting to install, service, 
relocate or perform any maintenance.

 All repairs should be performed by an 
authorized service representative.

 FOR EFFICIENT OPERATION:

 Perform the following test to verify free 
operation of the safety valve weekly 
and follow maintenance schedule. 

  1.  Pull ring on safety valve and allow 

the ring to snap back to normal 
position (see Figure 11). This valve 
automatically releases air if the 
tank pressure exceeds the preset 
maximum.

 

Do not attempt to 

   tamper with this 

valve. This valve should be checked 
occasionally. If air leaks after the ring 
has been released, or the valve is stuck 
and cannot be actuated by the ring, the 
safety valve must be replaced.

 

A large amount of 

    fast moving air will 

be released if this valve is actuated with 
pressure in the tank.

  2.  

With motor OFF and unplugged, 
clean debris from motor, flywheel, 
tank, air lines and pump cooling fins.

TECHNICAL SERVICE

For information regarding the operation 
or repair of this product, please call 
1-800-543-6400.

Storage

  1.  When not in use, hose and 

compressor should be stored in a 
cool dry place.

2.  Tanks should be drained of moisture. 

and hose should be disconnected 
and hung with open ends down to 
allow any moisture to drain.

3.  Protect the electrical cord from 

possible damage by winding the 
cord loosely around the handle of 
the unit or coiling the cord up.
