Operating instructions

  read the entire iMpOrtant SaFety inFOrMatiOn section at the beginning of this 

manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

compressor area Set Up

1�  Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit�  

The work area must not allow access by 
children or pets to prevent injury�

2�  Locate the Compressor on a flat level surface to 

ensure proper pump lubrication and to prevent 

damage to the unit.  Keep at least 12″ of space 

around the unit to allow air circulation�

3�  Route the power cord from the compressor 

to the grounded wall outlet, along a safe path 
without creating a tripping hazard or exposing 
the power cord to possible damage�

General Operation

1�  Close the Drain Valve�

2�  Check for oil leaks and check the oil level 

(See Checking the Oil on page 8)�

3�  Close the in-line Shutoff Valve between 

the compressor and the air hose�

4�  Plug the Power Cord into a grounded 

120 VAC electrical outlet�

5�  Pull the ring on Safety Valve to release pressure�

6�  Turn the Power Switch to AUTO�

7�  Allow the Air Compressor to build 

up pressure until it cycles off�

note:

 At the beginning of the day’s first use 

of the Air Compressor, check for air leaks by 
applying soapy water to connections while the 
Air Compressor is pumping and after pressure cut-
out�  Look for air bubbles�  If air bubbles are present 
at connections, tighten connections�  Do not use the 
Air Compressor unless all connections are air tight, 
the extra air leaking out will cause the compressor to 
operate too often, increasing wear on the compressor�

note:

 As long as the Power Switch is ON, the operation 

of the Air Compressor is automatic, controlled by an 
internal pressure switch�  The Compressor will turn on 
automatically when the air pressure drops to 105 PSI, 
and will turn off automatically when the 
air pressure reaches 135 PSI�

eXplOSiOn:

  

Do not adjust the internal 
pressure switch.  

Any change to the 

automatic pressure levels may cause excess pressure to 
accumulate, causing a hazardous situation�

8�  Adjust the Regulator so that the air output is 

enough to properly power the tool, but the output 
will not exceed the tool’s maximum air pressure 
at any time�  Turn the knob clockwise to increase 
the pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease 
pressure�  Adjust the pressure gradually, while 
checking the air output gauge to set the pressure�

9�  Make sure the air tool’s throttle or switch is in the 

off position�  Connect the air tool to the air hose�

10�  Open the in-line Shutoff Valve�

11�  Use the air tool as needed�

12�  After the job is complete, turn the Power Switch OFF�

13�  Unplug the Air Compressor�

14�  Close the in-line Shutoff Valve�

15�  Bleed air from the tool then disconnect the tool�

16�  Drain Tank according to 

every 6 months or 

100 Operation Hours: on page 14.

17�  Clean, then store the Air Compressor indoors�
