WARNING:
Always ensure the switch is in the
OFF
position
and the regulator pressure gauge reads zero
before changing air tools or disconnecting the hose
from the air outlet. Failure to do so could result in
possible serious personal injury.
USING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
See Figures 6 - 8, pages 17 - 18.
Ensure Auto On/Off lever is in the
OFF
position and air
compressor is unplugged.
If not already installed, attach hose to compressor as
previously instructed.
Attach 1/4 in. NPT quick-connect air fitting to accessory
or tool you intend to use.
Insert the other end of the quick-connect air fitting to the
quick coupler on the open end of hose.
Connect the power cord to the power supply.
Move the Auto On/Off lever to the
Auto On
position.
Rotate pressure regulator knob to desired line pressure.
Turning the knob clockwise increases air pressure at the
outlet; turning counterclockwise reduces air pressure at
the outlet.
NOTE:
Secure the pressure regulator knob in place
by turning the lock ring clockwise until it rests against
the knob. To release the knob, turn the lock ring fully
counterclockwise.
Following all safety precautions in this manual and the
manufacturer’s instructions in the air tool manual, you
may now proceed to use your air-powered tool.
WARNING:
Air powered tools may require more air consumption
than this air compressor is capable of providing.
Check the tool manual to avoid damage to the tool
or risk of personal injury.
Control the amount of air flow with the pressure regulator
knob. Turning the knob fully counterclockwise will
completely stop the flow of air.
NOTE:
Always use the minimum amount of pressure
necessary for your application. Using a higher pressure
than needed will drain air from the tank more rapidly and
cause the unit to cycle on more frequently.
When finished, always drain the tank and unplug the
unit. Never leave the unit plugged in and/or running
unattended.
OPERATION
ATTACHING/DISCONNECTING A HOSE
See Figure 5, page 17.
Make sure the air compressor is turned off and unplugged.
Rotate lock ring and pressure regulator knob fully
counterclockwise.
Attach hose with quick connect air fitting to 1/4 in. quick
coupler on air compressor. Make sure to push the hose
adapter end fully into the coupler until the sleeve springs
forward to lock it in place.
To disconnect an air hose or an air tool:
Confirm that the outlet pressure is at zero (0) psi.
When disconnecting a hose from 1/4-in. quick coupler,
always firmly hold release end of hose.
Pull back on the release sleeve on the 1/4-in. quick
coupler.
With a firm grip, pull out the quick-connect air fitting that
is attached to the quick coupler.
BREAK-IN PERIOD
Before first use, run the air compressor at zero tank pressure
with the drain valves fully open for 30 minutes.
TURNING THE AIR COMPRESSOR ON/OFF
See Figure 6, page 17.
With the air compressor plugged in, move the Auto On/Off
lever to the
Auto On
position to power the compressor
on.
To turn the air compressor off, move the Auto On/Off lever
to the
OFF
position.
NOTE:
When the compressor is in the
Auto On
position,
the air compressor will automatically turn back on when
the designated tank air pressure drops below the preset
pressure limit. It will also shut off again when the desired
pressure is reached.
WARNING:
Never exceed the air tool’s pressure rating as
recommended by the manufacturer. When using
this air compressor as an inflation device, always
follow the maximum inflation guidelines stated by
the manufacturer of the item being inflated.
