Introduction

This air compressor features a compact structure, stable,

performance, a high airflow rate, easy operation and low

maintenance. because the air compressor produces no oil in the

airflow, it can be used for air supplies that need oil-free air.. The

motor directly drives the pistons and does not need any

lubrication or oil to function for a long period of time.

assembly

1.

Attach the air hose to a 1/4” universal/Industrial Male Quick

Connector. Attach the air hose to the air compressor.

2.

Install the (4) air filters into the 4 ports located on the top right

and left of the motor heads.

3.

Make sure the “manual” drain valve is in the off position and

that the air compressor power switch is in the OFF position

4. 

ensure that the power supply you are going to use is operating      

normally. use a dedicated ( 220 Volts 60 Hertz) outlet.

5.

Insert the power supply cord into the power supply socket.
