How to Start:

1.  Turn the On/Auto/Off lever to "ON/AUTO" and allow tank pressure to build.  

Motor will stop when tank pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure.

2.  Pull the regulator knob out and turn clockwise to increase pressure. 

When the desired pressure is reached push knob in to lock in place. The 
compressor is ready for use.

Risk to Breathing. Always operate the air compressor in 
well-ventilated areas free of gasoline or other combustible 

vapors. If the compressor is being used to operate a sprayer DO NOT 
place near the spray area.

Before Each Start-Up:

1.  Place On/Auto/Off lever  to "OFF".
2.  Pull the regulator knob out and turn counter-clockwise to set the outlet 

pressure to zero.

3.  Attach hose and accessories.

 

Risk of Flying Objects. Pull the regulator knob out and 

turn counter-clockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero 

when removing hose or accessories to prevent hose backlash.
NOTE:

 The hose or accessory will require a quick connect plug if the air outlet 

is equipped with a quick connect socket. 

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.

3.  Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. (Refer to 

Voltage and Circuit Protection paragraph in the Installation section of this 
manual.)

4.  Open the drain valve fully (counter-clockwise) to permit air to escape and 

prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during the break-in period.

5.  Move the On/Auto/Off lever to "ON/AUTO" position. The compressor will start.
6.  Run the compressor for 20 minutes. Make sure the drain valve is open and 

there is minimal air pressure build-up in tank.

7.  After 20 minutes, close the drain valve (clockwise). The air receiver will fill 

to "cut-out" pressure and the motor will  stop. 

The compressor is now ready for use.
