AIR COMPRESSOR 3-GALLON (11.4 L) - 058-8381-8
Before each start-up
1.
Set the power switch (C) to the
0
(off)
position.
2.
Turn the air pressure regulator knob (G) counter-clockwise until it stops.
3.
Attach hose and accessories.
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.
How to start
WARNING!
If the pump has been transported or turned upside down (even
partially), allow the pump to sit in a normal, upright position for approximately 10
minutes before starting.
1.
Close the tank drain valve (J).
2.
Plug in the power cord (E).
3.
Set the power switch (C) to the
I
(on) position and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will stop
when tank pressure reaches “cut-out” pressure.
4.
Turn the air pressure regulator knob (G) clockwise until desired pressure is reached.
5.
The compressor is ready for use.
WARNING!
High temperatures are generated by the electric motor and the
pump. To prevent burns or other injuries, DO NOT touch the air compressor while it is
running. Allow it to cool before handling or servicing. Keep children away from the air
compressor at all times.
How to shut down
1.
Set the power switch (C) to the
0
(off) position.
2.
Unplug the power cord (E).
3.
Reduce the pressure in the tank through the outlet hose. Pulling the safety valve ring (F) and
keeping it open will also reduce the pressure in the tank.
CAUTION!
Escaping air and moisture can propel debris that may cause eye
injury. Wear safety goggles when opening the drain valve.
WARNING!
To avoid personal injury, always shut off and unplug the unit, and
relieve all air pressure from the system before performing any service on the air
compressor.
WARNING!
Risk of unsafe operation. Unit cycles automatically when power
is on. When performing maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage sources,
compressed air or moving parts. Personal injuries can occur. Before performing any
maintenance or repair, disconnect power source from the compressor and bleed off
all air pressure.
