grounding plug. The plug must
be used with an outlet that has
been installed and grounded in
accordance with all local codes
and ordinances. The outlet must
have the same configuration as
the plug. DO NOT USE AN
ADAPTER.
Inspect the plug and cord before
each use. Do not use if there are
signs of damage.
DANGER: Improper grounding
can result in electrical shock. Do
not modify the plug that has
been provided. If it does not fit
the available outlet, the correct
outlet should be installed by a
qualified electrician.
OPERATING
PROCEDURES
Daily Start-up Checklist
1. Before attaching air hose or
accessories, make sure the
pressure switch lever is set to
“OFF” and the air regulator or
shut-off valve is closed.
2. Attach hose and accessories.
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.
3. Turn the pressure switch lever
to “ON/AUTO” and allow tank
pressure to build. Motor will
stop when tank pressure
reaches “cut-out” pressure.
4. Open the regulator by turning
it clockwise. Adjust the
regulator to the correct
pressure setting. Your
compressor is ready for use.
5. Always operate the air
compressor in well-ventilated
areas; free of gasoline or
other solvent vapors. Do not
operate the compressor near
the spray area.
When you are finished:
6. Set the pressure switch lever
to “OFF”.
7. Using the air tool or
accessory, bleed the tank
pressure down to zero.
8. Remove the air tool or
accessory.
9. Drain water from air tank by
opening drain cock valve on
bottom of tank. 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.
Note:
If drain cock valve is plugged,
release all air pressure. The
valve can then be removed,
cleaned, then reinstalled.
10. After the water has been
drained, close the drain valve.
The air compressor can now
be stored.
