USING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
○
Temperature
Operating temperatures are between 32°F and 104°F
(0°C and 40°C).
CAUTION
:
Never operate in temperatures
below 32°F (0°C) or above 104°F
(40°C).
WARNING:
Always ensure the ON/OFF
switch is in the OFF (O)
position and the 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.
○
Ensure the tank drain valve is closed (Fig. 6).
○
Ensure the ON/OFF switch is in the
OFF
(
O
) position
and the air compressor is unplugged (Fig. 6).
○
Ensure the pressure regulator knob is turned fully
counterclockwise (Fig. 6).

○
Connect the power cord to the power supply.
NOTE:
If compressor is connected to a circuit protected
by fuse, use time delay fuses.
Time delay fuses should be marked “D” in Canada
and “T” in the U.S.
○
Turn the ON/OFF switch to the
ON
(
I
) position.
○
Rotate the pressure regulator knob to the desired
line pressure. Turning the knob clockwise increases
air pressure at the outlet; turning the knob
counterclockwise reduces air pressure at the outlet.
NOTE:
Before connecting or disconnecting air tools, turn
the regulator knob counterclockwise to stop the
fl
ow of air.
○
Following all safety precautions in this manual and the
manufacturer’s instructions in the air tool manual, you
may now use your air-powered tool.
○
If using an in
fl
ation accessory with a quick-connect
fi
tting, control the amount of air
fl
ow with the
pressure regulator knob. Turning the knob fully
counterclockwise will completely stop the
fl
ow of air.
NOTE:
Always use the minimum amount of pressure
necessary for your application. Using a higher
pressure than needed will drain air from the tank
more rapidly and cause the unit to cycle on more
frequently.
○
When
fi
nished, always drain the tank and unplug the
unit. Never leave the unit plugged in and/or running
unattended.
