Before Each Start-Up:
1. Place On/Auto/Off lever to
“OFF”.
2. Pull regulator knob out, turn
counterclockwise until it stops.
Push knob in to lock in place.
3. Attach hose and accessories.
NOTE: The hose or accessory
will require a quick connect plug
if the air outlet is equipped with a
quick connect.
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.
How to Start:
1. Turn the On/Auto/Off lever to
“AUTO” and allow tank pressure
to build. Motor will stop when
tank pressure reaches “cut-out”
pressure.
2. Pull the regulator knob out and
turn clockwise to increase
pressure. When the desired
pressure is reached push knob in
to lock in place. The compressor
is ready for use.
NOTE: Always operate the air
compressor in well-ventilated areas
free of gasoline or other combustible
vapors. If the compressor is being
used to operate a sprayer DO NOT
place near the spray area.
4. Move the On/Auto/Off lever to
"ON/AUTO" position. The
compressor will start.
5. Run the compressor for 15
minutes. Make sure the drain
valve is open and there is
minimal air pressure build-up in
tank.
6. After 15 minutes, close the drain
valve (clockwise). The air receiver
will fill to “cut-out” pressure and
the motor will stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.
