winter conditions.

LOCATION OF THE AIR COMPRESSOR

The air compressor should always be located in a clean, dry, and well-
ventilated environment. The unit should have at minimum, 1 foot of 
space on each side. The air filter intake should be free of any debris or 
obstructions. Check the air filter on a daily basis to be sure it is clean and 
in working order.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS

This product should be grounded. In the event of an electrical short 
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock by providing an 
escape wire for the electric current. This prod¬uct is equipped with a 
cord with a grounding wire and an appropriate grounding plug. The plug 
must be plugged into an outlet that is prop¬erly installed and grounded 
in accordance with all local codes. Check with a qualified electrician 
or service personnel if these instructions are not completely under¬stood, or if in doubt as to whether the tool is 
properly grounded.

Improper installation of the grounding plug will result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or replacement of the cord or 
plug is necessary, do not connect the grounding wire to either flat blade terminal. The grounding wire has insulation 
that is green with or without yellow stripes. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if the grounding 
instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the product is properly grounded. Do not 
modify the plug provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician. This 
product is for use on a normal circuit rated to 120 volts and is factory-equipped with a specific electric cord and plug 
to permit connection to a proper electric circuit. Make sure that the product is connected to an outlet having the 
same configuration as the plug. No adapter should be used with this product. If the product must be reconnected for 
use on a different type of electric circuit, qualified service personnel should make the reconnection.

EXTENSION CORDS

Make sure your extension cord is in good condition. When using an extension cord, be sure to use one heavy enough 
to carry the current your product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage resulting in loss of 
power and overheating.

BREAK IN PROCEDURES

No break in procedure is required by the user. This product is factory tested to ensure proper operation and 
performance. Compressor must always be turned ON or OFF using pressure switch. Never turn machine OFF or ON 
using power source

1.  Set the Auto-On/Off lever to the off position. 
2.  Check the air compressor visually for any damage or obstruction.
3.  Close the drain valve.
4.  Check the oil level of the pump.
5.  Connect the air hose to the quick connect socket on the regulator assembly by inserting the quick 

connect plug on the air hose into the quick connect socket. The quick connect socket collar will 
snap forward and lock the plug into place provid¬ing an airtight seal between the socket and plug. To 
release the air hose push the collar back on the quick connect socket

6.  Plug the power cord into the proper receptacle.
7.  Turn the Auto-on/Off lever to the On-Auto position and the compressor will start and build air 

pressure in the tank to cut-out pressure and then shut off automatically.

8.  Adjust the regulator to a PSI setting that is needed for your application and be sure it is within the 

safety standards required to perform the task. If using a pneumatic tool, the manufacturer should
