Plug in the power cord (K).
CAUTION!
Use a dedicated circuit.
For best performance and reliable starting, the air compressor should be plugged into a dedicated
circuit, as close as possible to the fuse box or circuit breaker.
The compressor will use the full capacity of a typical 15 A household circuit. If any other electrical
devices are drawing from the compressor’s circuit, the air compressor may fail to start. Low voltage or
an overloaded circuit can result in sluggish starting that causes the motor overload protection system or
circuit breaker to trip, especially in cold conditions.
NOTE:
A circuit breaker is recommended. If the air compressor is connected to a circuit protected by
a fuse, use dual element time delay fuses (type “T” only).
8.
Set the pressure switch (C) to the
ON
position. The compressor will start. Run the compressor for 30 minutes.
If it fails, turn it off immediately and call the toll-free helpline at: 1-888-942-6686. Please note that breaking-
in the unit is only required prior to first use.

Set the pressure switch (C) to the
ON
position. The air receiver will fill to “cut-out” pressure and then the
compressor’s motor will stop. The compressor is now ready for use.
Before each start-up
1.
Set the pressure switch (C) to the
OFF
position.
2.
Turn the air pressure regulator knob (E) counter-clockwise until it stops.
3.
Attach hose and accessories.
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.
4.
Check and verify the motor oil level in the pump.
How to start
WARNING!
If the pump has been transported or turned upside down (even partially), allow
the pump to sit in a normal, upright position for approximately 10 minutes before starting.
1.
Close the tank drain valve (I).
2.
Plug in the power cord (K).
3.
Set the pressure switch (C) to the
ON
position and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank
pressure reaches “cut-out” pressure.
4.
Turn the air pressure regulator knob (E) clockwise until desired pressure is reached.
5.
The compressor is ready for use.
WARNING!
High temperatures are generated by the electric motor and the pump. To prevent
burns or other injuries, DO NOT touch the air compressor while it is running. Allow it to cool
before handling or servicing. Keep children away from the air compressor at all times.
