Tank Pressure gauge:

The tank pressure gauge

indicates the reserve air pressure in the tank.

Regulator:

Controls the outgoing air pressure. Turn the

1-Turn Regulator knob

clockwise to increase pressure

and counterclockwise to decrease pressure.

Cooling system (not shown):

This compressor contains

an advanced design cooling system. At the heart of this
cooling system is an engineered fan. It is perfectly normal
for this fan to blow air through the vent holes in large
amounts. You know that the cooling system is working
when air is being expelled.

Air Compressor Pump (not shown):

Compresses air into

the air tank. Working air is not available until the compressor
has raised the air tank pressure above that required at the
air outlet.

Drain Valve:

The drain valve

is located at the base of

the air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of
each use.

Check Valve (not shown):

When the air compressor is

operating, the check valve is “open”, allowing compressed
air to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches
“cut-out” pressure, the check valve “closes”, allowing air
pressure to remain inside the air tank.

Motor Overload Protector (not shown):

The motor has

a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for
any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor.
The motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting.
To restart:

1.  Set the On/Off switch to “Off” and unplug unit.
2.  Allow the motor to cool.
3.  Plug the power cord into the correct branch

circuit receptacle.

4. Set the On/Off switch to “On” position.

Quick Connects :

The quick connects

accepts industrial

quick connect plugs. The two quick connect bodies allow
the use of two tools at the same time.

How to Use Your Unit (Fig. A, B)

How to Stop

to “Off”.

2. Unplug unit when not in use.

Before Starting

WARNING:

Do not operate this unit until

you read this instruction manual for safety,

operation and maintenance instructions.

Before Each Start-Up

1. Set the On/Off switch

to “Off”.

2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit

receptacle. (Refer to

Voltage and Circuit Protection

paragraph in the

installation

section of this manual.)

3. Turn the 1-Turn Regulator knob

counterclockwise

until fully closed. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads
0 psi (0 kPa).

Fig. B

4. Attach hose and accessories.
5. Ensure all covers and labels are in place, legible (for

labels) and securely mounted. Do not use compressor
until all items have been verified.

WARNING:

Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp

air hose in hand when installing or disconnecting

to prevent hose whip.

WARNING:

Risk of unsafe operation. Do not use

damaged or worn accessories

nOTE:

This unit is equipped with quick connects

. The

hose or accessory being connected will require a quick
connect plug.

WARNING:

Risk of Bursting. 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.
NOTICE:

Risk of property damage. Compressed air

from the unit may contain wa ter condensation and
oil mist. Do not spray un fil tered air at an item that
could be damaged by moisture. Some air tools and
accessories may require filtered air. Read the
in struc tions for the air tools and accessories.

How to Start

1. Set the On/Off switch

to “On” and allow tank pressure

to build. Motor will stop when tank pressure reaches
“cut-out” pressure.

2. Turn the 1-Turn Regulator knob

clockwise to increase

pressure and stop when set to desired pressure on the
index.

WARNING:

Risk of unsafe operation. If any

unusual noise or vibration is noticed, stop the

compressor immediately and have it checked by

a trained service technician.
