daily operation

Starting the compressor:

1.

Turn the air compressor power switch to the OFF position.

2.

Attach the air hose to the 1/4” Female Industrial quick

connector on the air compressor.

3.

Close the drain valve and have air filter attached

4. The vehicle’s engine must be running when using the air 

compressor.    

5.

Attach the Positive battery clamp (Red) to the Positive   

Terminal of the battery and the Negative battery clamp (black) 

to the Negative Terminal of the battery. 

6.

Turn the air compressor power switch to the ON position.

7.

Let the compressor motor run and tank fill until motor turns off.

8.  

To regulate the air flow. 

While the air compressor is running, turn “On” your tool and 
turn the regulator knob to the right increasing the pressure. 
Turn the pressure up until the desired pressure is reached.

Shutting down the compressor:

1.

Turn the power switch to the OFF position.

2.

First remove Red (Positive) and than the black (Negative)

battery Clamps.

3.

Reduce the pressure in the air tank through the air hose.

Air compressor surfaces become hot during 
operation.

DO NOT touch hot surfaces, because they can cause 
severe burns.

Do not touch the air compressor’s cylinder head. 
During operation, the cooling fins of the cylinder 
head and delivery pipe become hot.

Allow the air compressor to cool before touching it.

DO NOT place a storage cover on the unit during 
operation. Only place a cover on the air compressor 
after it has thoroughly cooled down.

FIRE

HOT SURFACE

WARNING

Flying objects can cause injury to the eyes, head and 
other parts of the body.

Air-powered equipment and power tools are capable 
of propelling items (metal chips, fasteners and 
particulates) at high speed into the air and could 
result in injury.

Always wear approved head and eye protection.

Never point the air stream at any part of your body, 
or at another person or animal.

When operating the air compressor, make sure all 
other people and animals maintain a safe distance.

Do not move the air compressor when the air tank is 
under pressure. 

Never use the air hoses to pull or move the air 
compressor.

Keep the air compressor on a flat surface.

WARNING

FLYING OBJECTS

note: 

If the Air Compressor is not working properly, the

pressure gauge will indicate that there is a decrease in

pressure in the air tank. If there is an air leak from the

compressor the pressure in the air tank decreases, the

pressure switch resets and the motor automatically turns

back on.
If you detect an air leakage, turn the power switch to the

Off position, release the air from the tank by opening the

tank drain valve.. unplug the power supply cord and contact

Customer Support for Assistance.

Turn the air compressor power switch to the OFF position.  
The vehicle’s engine must be running when using the air

compressor.                                                    
Attach the Positive battery clamp (Red) to the Positive

Terminal of the battery and the Negative clamp (black) to the

Negative Terminal on the battery.        
Turn the air compressor to the ON position. 
The pressure gauge will slowly rise as pressure increases

inside the air tank. When the gauge reading reaches 115 PSI -

120 PSI, the pressure switch will automatically turn the power

off.           
This indicates the compressor is working normally. 

When finished.
Turn the air compressor power switch to the Off position. 
First remove the Red (Positive) battery clamp and than the

black (Negative) battery clamp from the battery.
Release the air in the tank by opening the drain valve. 

At this point proceed to the next step (daily operations).
