Operating instructions

  read the EntirE iMpOrtant SaFEty inFOrMatiOn section at the beginning of this 

manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

regulator area Set Up

1.  Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.  

The work area must not allow access by 
children or pets to prevent injury.

2.  Locate the Regulator on a flat level surface to 

ensure proper pump lubrication and to prevent 

damage to the unit.  Keep at least 12″ of space 

around the unit to allow air circulation.

3.  Route the power cord from the regulator to 

the grounded wall outlet, along a safe path 
without creating a tripping hazard or exposing 
the power cord to possible damage.

General Operation

note:

 At the beginning of the day’s first use of the 

Air Regulator, check for air leaks by applying soapy 
water to connections while the Air Regulator is pumping 
and after pressure cut-out.  Look for air bubbles.  If air 
bubbles are present at connections, tighten connections.  
Do not use the Air Regulator unless all connections are 
air tight, the extra air leaking out will cause the regulator 
to operate too often, increasing wear on the regulator.

EXplOSiOn:

  

Do not exceed 160 pSi

1.  Adjust the Regulator Knob (1C) so that the 

air output is enough to properly power the 
tool, but the output will not exceed the tool’s 
maximum air pressure at any time.  Turn the 
knob clockwise to increase the pressure and 
counter-clockwise to decrease pressure.  Adjust 
the pressure gradually, while checking the 
air output gauge (6B) to set the pressure.

2.  Make sure the air tool’s throttle or switch is in the 

off position.  Connect the air tool to the air hose.

3.  Open the in-line Shutoff Valve.

4.  Use the air tool as needed.

5.  After the job is complete, turn the 

compressor’s Power Switch OFF.

6.  Disconnect the Air Regulator.

7.  Close the in-line Shutoff Valve.

8.  Bleed air from the tool then disconnect the tool.

9.  Drain the Air Filter/Regulator of water daily. With the 

unit under pressure, open the Drain Plug (14A) to 
expel any accumulated moisture from the Air Filter.

10.  Clean, then store the Air Regulator indoors.
