OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Starting up the Compressor1.
2.
WARNING: High temperatures are generated by
the electric motor and the pump. To prevent
burns or other injuries, DO NOT touch the
compressor while it is running. Allow it to cool
Before handling or servicing. Keep children
away from the compressor at all times.
WARNING: When adjusting from a higher to a
lower pressure, turn the knob counterclockwise
past the desired setting. Then turn clockwise to
reach the desired pressure. Do not exceed operating
pressure of the tool or accessory being used.
a.
Close the tank drain valve (G) by turning clockwise.
b.
Plug in the power cord (J).
c.
Set the ON/OFF switch (I) to the I (on) position
and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will stop
when the tank reaches “cut-out” pressure.
d.
Turn the air pressure regulator knob (D) clockwise
until desired pressure is reached.
e.
The compressor is ready for use.
WARNING: To avoid personal injury, always shut off and unplug the unit, and relieve all air
pressure from the system before performing any service on the air compressor.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. The unit cycles automatically when power is on. When
performing maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air or moving parts.
Personal injuries can occur. Before performing any maintenance or repair, disconnect the power
source from the compressor and bleed off all air pressure.
CAUTION: Escaping air and moisture can propel debris that may cause eye injury. Wear
safety goggles when opening the drain valve.
a. Set the ON/OFF switch (I) to the O (off) position.
b. Unplug the power cord (J).
c. Reduce the pressure in the tank through the outlet hose. Pulling the pressure relief valve
ring (H) and keeping it open will also reduce the pressure in the tank.
d. Tip the compressor so the tank drain valve is at the bottom of the tank. Then open the
tank drain valve counterclockwise to allow moisture to drain from the tank.
