1.

Before attaching air hose or accessories, make sure
the OFF/AUTO lever is set to “OFF” and the air
regulator or shut-off valve is closed.

2.

Attach hose and accessories.

When you are finished:

6. Set the “OFF/AUTO” lever to “OFF”.

7. Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the

outlet pressure to zero.

8. Remove the air tool or accessory.

9. Open the regulator and allow the air to slowly bleed

from the tank.  Close the regulator when tank
pressure is approximately 20 psi.

10. Drain water from air tank.

11. After the water has been drained, close the drain

cock or drain valve.  The air compressor can now
be stored.

3.

Turn the OFF/AUTO lever to “AUTO” and allow tank
pressure to build.  Motor will stop when tank pressure
reaches “cut-out” pressure.

4.

Open the regulator by turning it clockwise.  Adjust the
regulator to the correct pressure setting.  Your com-
pressor is ready for use.

5.

Always operate the air compressor in well-ventilated
areas; free of gasoline or other solvent vapors.  Do not
operate the compressor near the spray area.

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.

WATER  WILL CONDENSE IN THE AIR
TANK. IF NOT DRAINED, WATER WILL
CORRODE AND WEAKEN THE AIR TANK
CAUSING A RISK OF AIR TANK RUP-
TURE.

NOTE

If drain cock valve is plugged, release all air
pressure. The valve can then be removed,
cleaned, then reinstalled.

OPERATING  PROCEDURES

1. Set the "ON/OFF" switch to "OFF" and unplug the

cord.

2. Review the "Operating Procedures" section (page 9).

Be sure to drain the water from the air tank.

When you have finished using the air compressor:

STORAGE

3. Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage

by winding them loosely around the air compressor.

4. Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location.
