3. If these conditions cannot be met or if nuisance tripping
of current protection device occurs, it may be necessary to
operate compressor from a 120 volt, 20 amp circuit.
Operation
MoISture In CoMPreSSeD AIr
Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets as it
comes from an air compressor pump. When humidity is
high or when a compressor is in continuous use for an
extended period of time, this moisture will collect in the
tank. When using a paint spray or sandblast gun, this water
will be carried from the tank through the hose, and out of
the gun as droplets mixed with the spray material.
IMPORTANT:
This condensation will cause water spots
in a paint job, especially when spraying other than water
based paints. If sandblasting, it will cause the sand to cake
and clog the gun, rendering it ineffective. A filter in the air
line (MP3105), located as near to the gun as possible, will
help eliminate this moisture.
This compressor can be used for general inflation as well as
intermittent duty air tool usage. For inflation purposes, this
compressor utilizes a new technology called Rapid Inflation
Technology (RIT).
IMPORTANT:
Make sure the Wheel Lock/Foot Brake is engaged
before operating the unit
(See Figure 11)

LubrICAtIon
This is an oilless product and
DOES NOT
require lubrication to
operate.
ASMe SAFety VALVe
Do not remove or attempt to adjust the safety
valve!
This valve should be checked under pressure occasionally by
pulling the ring by hand
(See Figure 13)
. If air leaks after ring has
been released, or valve is stuck and cannot be actuated by ring, it
MUST be replaced.
CLICk-to-Set reguLAtor knob
1. This knob controls air pressure to an air operated tool, or
paint spray gun.
2. Turning knob clockwise increases air pressure at outlet.
3. Turning counterclockwise will lower air pressure at outlet.
4. Fully counterclockwise will shut off flow of air completely.
