Important Operating Instructions
3.
Turn the pressure regulator knobs fully clockwise to open airflow from air outlet port.
NOTE:
Be careful not to over tighten pressure regulator knob when it “bottoms out” as this may
damage pressure regulator.
4.
Turn the power switch to the OFF position.
5.
Plug the power cord directly into a properly grounded power source of the correct voltage (see
Grounding instructions).
6.
Open the tank drain valve to allow air to escape preventing air pressure buildup in the air tank.
7.
Turn the compressor ON by moving the switch to the AUTO/ON position and run the air
compressor for a period of 20 minutes to break-in the air pump.
8.
With the compressor still running, at the end of the 20-minute break-in period, close the tank
drain valve. The air compressor will build air pressure to the maximum preset pressure (“cut-out”
pressure) and automatically shut-off.
9.
Slowly turn the tank drain valve to open airflow from drain and bleed off air from the air tank.
The air compressor will automatically restart once the pressure in the air tank drops below the
minimum preset pressure (“cut-in” pressure).
10.
Turn the compressor off by moving the switch to the OFF position.
11.
Release the pressure from the system. Drain moisture from the air tank by slowly opening the
air tank drain valve by turning counterclockwise. Tilt tank to remove all moisture. Once all the
moisture has drained out, close the fitting securely.
NOTE:
Air tank will not pressurize while drain valve is open.
12.
Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.
NOTE:
Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position when connecting or disconnecting
power cord from electrical outlet.
13.
Your new air compressor is now ready to use.
