Checking the safety valve
DANGER:
Do not tamper with the safety valve. Items
loosened from this device could fly up and hit you. Failure
to heed this warning could result in death or serious
personal injury. The safety valve automatically releases air
when the receiver pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
Check the valve before each day of use by pulling 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.
□
Set the AUTO ( I ) / OFF ( O ) switch (1) 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 AUTO ( I ) / OFF ( O ) switch (1) to the
off position.
□
Pull the ring on the safety valve (2) for 20
seconds to release the air.
□
Release the ring. Air stops escaping at
about 20 psi. If air continues to escape after
releasing the safety valve ring, discontinue
use and seek service before using the air
compressor again.

Running the air compressor
WARNING:
Always ensure the switch is in the OFF
position and using a regulator (not supplied) ensure
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:
Your tool may require more air consumption
than this air compressor is capable of providing. Check tool
manual to avoid damage to the tool or risk personal injury.
NOTE:
Always use the minimum amount of air flow
using a pressure regulator (not supplied). Using a higher
pressure than needed will drain air from the tank more
rapidly and cause the unit to cycle on more frequently.
□
Never leave the unit plugged in and/or running
unattended.
□
When finished, always drain the tank and unplug
the unit if applicable.
Operation (continued)
WARNING
:
Risk from noise. Use ear protection (ANSI
S12.6 S3.19), as air flow noise is loud when draining.
