OPERATION
Fig. 4
WARNING:
To prevent burns or other injuries, DO NOT touch
the compressor while it is running. Allow it to cool before handling
or servicing. Keep children away from the compressor at all times.
7. Allow the compressor to reach the desired PSI on the tank pres-
sure gauge before turning off the compressor. If left on, the com-
pressor will reach its maximum PSI of 125 and turn off automati-
cally. Then once the tank PSI lowers to 95 PSI, the compressor
will automatically turn back on until it reaches its max PSI again.
Check the tank pressure gauge (Fig. 4 - 4). DO NOT ALLOW
THE COMPRESSOR TO FILL UP TO MORE THAN 125 PSI.

8. Turn the air pressure regulator (Fig. 4 - 2) to the desired position in order to control the output of air flow from
the compressor. The regulated air pressure gauge (Fig. 4 - 5) will show you the current air flow from the air line
outlet. Make sure that this pressure is not higher than the working pressure of any pneumatic tools hooked up to the
compressor. Using a pressure higher than the rated pressure of an attached tool creates the possibility of damaging
or, in worse case scenarios, bursting said power tool. Using a pressure that is too low for a tool can result in misfires
and improper functionality.

SHUTTING DOWN THE COMPRESSOR
1. Turn the pressure switch to the OFF position. Then unplug the power cord.
2. Reduce pressure in the tank through the outlet hose or by pulling the relief
valve ring (Fig. 5 - 1).
3. Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve (counterclockwise) on the
bottom of the tank.
WARNING:
Wear safety goggles when opening drain valve. Escap-
ing air and moisture may propel debris that may cause eye injury.
THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
The thermal overload protector shuts down the motor when it is overloaded. When the thermal overload trips,
the air compressor will stop working. Let the motor cool down for a few minutes. To restart the motor, unplug the
power cord and plug it back in.
