AIR COMPRESSOR

Test Run 

Before using the air compressor for the first time, complete a test 
run as follows: 

 

1.  

Turn the power switch to the OFF position. Plug the power 
supply cord into a power supply socket. Start the air 
compressor by turning the power switch to the ON position. 
The pressure gauge reading 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.  

2.

  

 

 

  

 

 

Daily Operation

 

Starting the compressor: 

1.

 Turn the power switch to the OFF position. 

2.

 Attach an air hose to a 1/4” Industrial Male Quick Connector. 

Attach the air hose to the air compressor female connector 

3.

 Close the drain valve.   

4.  Have air filter attached 

5.

  Plug the power supply cord into a power supply socket. 

6.

 Turn the power switch to the ON position. 

7.

  Let the 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. 

9.  

Operate air tool normally.  

     Do not exceed (1) hour of (non-stop) continuous running.

 

 

Shutting down the compressor: 

1.

 Turn the power switch to the OFF position. 

2.

 Unplug the power supply cord. 

3.

 Reduce the pressure in the air tank through the air supply 

hose. Drain the remaining air and water from the drain valve.

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 pulling on 
the safety valve. Unplug the power supply cord and contact 
Customer Support for Assistance.

Turn the power switch to the Off position, unplug the power 
supply cord and release the air in the  tank by pulling on the 
safety valve. At this point proceed to the next step (daily 
operations).
