MAINTENANCE
Set the ON/OFF Switch (A) to the ON
position and wait for the tank to fill. The
compressor automatically shuts off when
the pressure reaches the preset maximum.
Set the ON/OFF Switch (A) to the OFF
position.
Pull the ring on the safety valve for 20
seconds to release the air.
Release the ring. Air stops escaping at
about 60 psi. If air continues to escape after
releasing the safety valve ring, discontinue
use and seek service before using the air
compressor again.
Rotate the pressure regulator knob (C) to
the desired pressure. Turning the knob
clockwise (+) increases air pressure at the
outlet; turning counterclockwise (-) reduces
air pressure at the outlet.
If using an inflation accessory, control the
amount of air flow with the pressure
regulator knob (C). Turning the knob fully
counter-clockwise will completely stop the
flow of air.
When finished, always drain the tank and
unplug the unit. Never leave the unit
plugged in and / or running unattended.
NOTICE: Always use the minimum amount of
air flow with the pressure regulator knob.
Using a higher pressure than needed will drain
air from the tank more rapidly and cause the
unit to cycle on more frequently.
NOTICE: All compressed air systems generate
condensate that accumulates in any drain
point (e.g., tanks, filter, after-coolers, dryers).
This condensate contains lubricating oil
and/or substances which may be regulated
and must be disposed of in accordance with
local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
NOTICE: If drain valve is plugged, release all
air pressure. The valve can then be removed,
cleaned, then reinstalled.
From time to time, the air filter needs to be
removed and cleaned.

CARE AND CLEANING
WARNING
:
Do not tamper with the safety valve. (D)
Items loosened from this device could
fly up and hit you. Failure to heed this
warning could result in death or
serious injury. The safety valve
automatically releases air when the
receiver pressure exceeds the preset
maximum. Check the valve before each
day of use by puling the ring by hand.
WARNING
:
If air leaks after releasing the safety
valve ring or if the valve is stuck, do
not use the air compressor until the
safety valve has been replaced. Using
the air compressor in this condition
could result in serious personal injury.
WARNING
:
Always ensure the switch is in the OFF
position and regulator pressure gauge
reads zero before changing air tools or
disconnecting the hose from the air
outlet. Failure to do so could result in
possible serious personal injury.
WARNING
:
Risk of unsafe operation. Air tanks
contain high pressure air. Keep face
and other body parts away from outlet
of drain. Use eye protection [ANSI
Z87.1 (CAN/ CSA Z94.3)] when draining
as debris can be kicked up into face.
WARNING
:
Risk from noise. Use ear protection
[ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)] as air flow noise is
loud when draining.
WARNING
:
Always release all pressure,
discon-nect from power supply, and
allow unit to cool to the touch before
cleaning or making repairs on the air
compressor.
WARNING
:
Risk of bursting. Water will condense
in the air tank. If not drained, water will
corrode and weaken the air tank
causing a risk of air tank rupture.
WARNING
:
Your tool may require more air
consumption than this air compressor
can provide. Check tool manual to
avoid damage to the tool or risk
personal injury.

Condensation forms in the tank when there
is humidity in the air. Depending on the
environmental conditions, drain the
condensate daily and/or every hour. For
instruc-tions, see Draining the tank on page
9.
The safety valve automatically releases air
when the pressure exceeds the preset
maximum.
Inspect the tank annually for rust, pin holes,
or other imperfections that could cause it to
become unsafe.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil,
grease, etc.
Any service, other than general maintenance,
should be performed by an authorized
service represen-tative.

Set the ON/ OFF Switch to the OFF position.
Unplug the air compressor.
Unsnap the air filter cover to remove air filter.
Remove the air filter from the air filter
housing.
Blow compressed air through the air filter for
10-15 seconds.
Drain the air tank of moisture after operation.
When not in use, store the compressor in a
cool, dry place.
Disconnect the air hose and hang open ends
down to allow any moisture to drain.
Protect the electrical cord and air hose from
damage (such as being stepped on or run
over). Wind them loosely around the
compressor handle.

Slowly bleed the air from the compressor
tank by pulling the safety valve to allow the
pres-sure to escape from the tank until the
pressure is approximately 20 psi.
Drain water from the tank by opening the
drain valve.
After the water has been drained, close the
drain valve. The air compressor can now be
stored.
