manner:
1. Loosen the screws in each of the handle fix-

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
PRE-START ROUTINE
1. Ensure that the location for the compressor
is clean, dry and well ventilated.
2. Ensure the crank case has been filled with oil and
is at the correct level, and the air filter has been
fitted.
For the first time of operation, run the com-
pressor for 10 minutes with no load and with
the outlet valve open to ensure all parts are
well lubricated.
WARNING: Be aware that pressurised air will
be discharged from the outlet and care should
be taken that this discharge is not directed
towards you the operator, or other persons
within the area.
TO START & STOP THE COMPRESSOR
1. Check the rating label on
the compressor indicates
127 V.
2. Plug in the mains cable of
the compressor to a stand-
ard 127 V household power
point and turn on.
3. To start the compressor,
lift the ON/OFF switch on the
pressure switch cover (Fig. 4).
4. To stop the compressor,
push the ON/OFF switch
down (Fig. 5).
OPERATION
1. The pressure in the tank is controlled by the
action of the pressure switch located under
the pressure switch cover. When the set maxi-
mum pressure is reached the pressure switch
activates and the motor is switched off.
The pressure then decreases as the air is used
by the connected tool until the set minimum
pressure is reached after which the pressure
switch causes the motor to switch on again.
The operator of the compressor should be well
aware that during use of the compressor the
motor will start and stop under the influence
of the rising or falling pressure in the tank. The
motor will start without any warning.
2. The maximum and minimum pressures are
factory set and the operator should not try to
change them.
