HOSE INSTALLATION (Fig. 3 and Fig. 4):
6. If the compressor was separated from the tank, connect the
stainless steel braided hose from the compressor to tanks inlet
port. (Fig. 3.) IMPORTANT: Make sure the threaded fitting
on the end of the braided hose has either been wrapped with
Teflon
®
tape or coated with pipe sealant to prevent air leaks.
7. Using the high-pressure plastic hose provided, cut to size to
be able to connect the tank to inlet fitting of the accessory or
valve requiring high-pressure air. Place the brass nut from the
tank’s outlet fitting onto the high-pressure plastic hose. Push
the plastic hose fully onto the outlet fitting, tighten the brass nut
onto the outlet fitting. (Fig. 4 and 5)
CAUTION: Do not over tighten the brass nut.
8. The other end of the plastic hose is connected to the accessory
or valve requiring high-pressure air.
