Ensure air tank pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
WARNING:
Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
3. Remove hose and accessory.

WARNING:
Risk of unsafe operation. Do not use damaged or
worn accessories.
NOTE:
The hose or accessory will require a quick connect plug if the
air outlet is equipped with a quick connect socket.
NOTE:
A regulator MUST be used if the air pressure required for the
accessory is less than the maximum air pressure supplied from the
air compressor.
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.
CAUTION:
Risk of unsafe operation. 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.

2. When the tank pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure open the
air discharge valve.
IMPORTANT:
When using a regulator and other accessories refer to
the manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING:
Risk of bursting. If any unusual noise or vibration is
noticed, stop the compressor immediately and have it checked by a
trained service technician.
The compressor is ready for use.
