Safety Information (continued) PERSONAL SAFETY WARNING: Stay alert when operating a power tool. Do not use the tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. □□ Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations WARNING: Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.
Safety Information (continued) AIR COMPRESSOR AND PNEUMATIC TOOL SAFETY WARNING: Do not attempt to modify this tool or create accessories not recommended for use with this tool. Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal injury. □□ Keep compressors as far from the spraying area as possible: at least 15 ft. (0.4 m) from the spraying area and all explosive vapors.
Safety Information (continued) ELECTRICAL SAFETY (EXTENSION CORDS) WARNING: When using an extension cord, keep it clear of the working area. Position the cord so that it will not get caught on lumber, tools, or other obstructions while you are working with a power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious personal injury. □□ Use only 3-wire extension cords that have 3-prong grounding plugs and 3-pole receptacles that accept the product’s plug.
Safety Information (continued) ELECTRICAL SAFETY (SPEED AND WIRING) □□ The no-load pump speed of this product is approximately 3,850 rpm. This speed is not constant and decreases under a load or with lower voltage. □□ For voltage, the wiring in a shop is as important as the motor’s horsepower rating. A line intended only for lights cannot properly carry a power tool motor. Wire that is heavy enough for a short distance will be too light for a greater distance.
Warranty LIMITED WARRANTY WHAT IS COVERED The manufacturer warrants to the original retail purchaser that this product is free from defect in material and workmanship and agrees to repair or replace, at the manufacturer’s discretion, any defective product free of charge within these time periods from the date of purchase.

Pre-Operation (continued) PLACEMENT OF THE AIR COMPRESSOR WARNING: If any parts are damaged or missing do not operate this product until the parts are replaced. Failure to heed this warning could result in serious personal injury. CAUTION: Do not use in an environment that is dusty or otherwise contaminated. Using the air compressor in this type of environment may cause damage to the unit. NOTICE: Long lengths of electrical wiring could cause power loss to the motor.
Pre-Operation (continued) ATTACHING THE HOSE WARNING: Do not attempt to modify this product or create accessories not recommended for use with this product. Any such alteration or modification is misuse and could result in a hazardous condition leading to possible serious personal injury. WARNING: Do not attach air chuck or other tool to the open end of the hose until start-up has been completed. 1 WARNING: Do not allow familiarity with products to make you careless.
Operation 1 Preparing for start-up WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose in hand when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip. WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Do not use damaged or worn accessories. 1 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. CAUTION: Risk of unsafe operation.
Operation (continued) 2 Starting the compressor 1 WARNING: Risk of bursting. If any unusual noise or vibration is noticed, stop the air compressor immediately and have it checked by a trained service technician. NOTE: When using regulator and other accessories refer to the manufacturers instructions. □□ Plug the power cord into a proper receptacle. □□ Turn the ON ( I ) / OFF ( O ) switch (1) to the on position, and allow the tank pressure to build.
Operation (continued) 4 Running the air compressor WARNING: Always ensure the switch is in the OFF position and 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. WARNING: Your tool may require more air consumption than this air compressor is capable of providing. Check tool manual to avoid damage to the tool or risk personal injury.
Operation (continued) 5 Draining the tank WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Air tanks contain high pressure air. Keep face and other body parts away from outlet of drain. Use eye protection [ANSI Z87.1 (CAN/ CSA Z94.3)] when draining as debris can be kicked up into face. WARNING: Risk from noise. Use ear protection (ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) as air flow noise is loud when draining. 1 WARNING: Risk of bursting. Water will condense in the air tank.
Maintenance GENERAL MAINTENANCE WARNING: When servicing, use only identical Husky replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause product damage. □□ Condensation forms in the tank when there is humidity in the air. Depending on the environmental conditions, drain the condensate daily and/or every hour. For instructions, see Draining the tank on page 15. □□ The safety valve automatically releases air when the receiver pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
Troubleshooting Problem The compressor does not run.
