5. Move the Auto/Off switch to “AUTO (-)” position. The
compressor will start.
6. Run the compressor for 30 minutes. Make sure the drain valve
and all air lines are open so there is only a minimal air pressure
build-up in tank.
NOTE:
After about 30 minutes, If the unit does
not operate properly, SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY, and contact
Product Service.
7. Check all air line fittings and connections/piping for air leaks
by applying a soap solution. Correct if necessary.

NOTE:
The hose or accessory will require a quick connect plug if
the air outlet is equipped with a quick connect socket.
WARNING:
Risk of bursting. Too much air pressure causes a
hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer’s maximum
pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet
pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.
CAUTION:
