Starting Your Air Compressor
1. Make sure ON - OFF switch ( A ) is in OFF position.
2. Plug power cord into an isolated 120 Volt A.C.
grounded outlet. See Grounding Instructions .
3. Turn pressure control knob ( B ) counterclockwise until
knob turns without resistance.
4. Pull
ON - OFF
switch to
ON
position. Compressor will
start.
NOTE: If the motor fails to start, refer to Troubleshooting .
NOTE:
If you hear air leaking, pull quick connect coupler
back until it clicks to reset coupler valve.
The air compressor is fully automatic and is controlled by
the pressure switch. The compressor will run until pressure
in the air tank reaches cut-out pressure. The compressor will
restart when pressure in the air tank falls below the cut-in
pressure. See
Glossary for definitions.
NOTE:
Always operate the air compressor in well-ventilated
areas free of gasoline or other flammable/combustible
vapors. If the compressor is being used to spray volatile
chemicals (such as paint), locate the compressor at least
20 feet (6.1 meters) away from the spray area.
Stopping Your Air Compressor
1. Push ON - OFF switch to OFF position. Compressor
motor will stop.
2. If finished using compressor, unplug compressor’s
power cord from outlet.
3. Pull safety valve ring to release most of tank’s
compressed air. Release valve ring.
4. Open both drain valves to fully drain air tanks.
NOTE : Always drain air tank over a washable surface or in a
suitable container to prevent damaging or staining surfaces.
NOTE:
The compressor generates condensation water
(condensate) that accumulates in the air tanks. Drain the
condensate every 4 hours or daily.
5. Close both drain valves.
Extension Cords
NOTE : Avoid use of extension cords.
The air compressor should be located where it can be
directly plugged into a grounded outlet. DO NOT use an
extension cord unless absolutely necessary. Instead,
increase the working reach of the air hose by attaching two
or more air hoses together.
If the use of an extension cord cannot be avoided, use these
guidelines:
• Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a 3-blade
grounding plug, and a 3-slot outlet that will accept the
plug from the air compressor.
• Make sure the cord is in good condition.
• When compressor is used outdoors, use only extension
cords marked “Intended for Outdoor Use”.
• Follow these length restrictions:
