Before Starting  

Break-in Procedure

Serious damage may result if the
following break-in instructions are

not closely followed.

This procedure is required 

before

the air compressor

is put into service and when the check valve or a
complete compressor pump has been replaced.

1.

Make sure the On/Auto/Off lever is in the "OFF"
position.

NOTE:

If quick connect is installed, pull coupler back

until it clicks to prevent air from escaping through the
quick connect.

2.

Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit
receptacle. (Refer to Voltage and Circuit
Protection paragraph in the Installation section of
this manual.)

3.

Open the drain valve fully
(counter-clockwise) to
permit air to escape and
prevent air pressure build
up in the air tank during
the break-in period.

How to Use Your Unit

How to Stop

:

1.

Set the On/Auto/Off lever to “OFF”.

4.

Move the On/Auto/Off lever to "ON/AUTO"
position. The compressor will start.

5.

Run the compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure
the drain valve is open and there is minimal air
pressure build-up in tank.

6.

After 15 minutes, close the drain valve
(clockwise). The air receiver will fill to “cut-out”
pressure and the motor will  stop. 

The compressor is now ready for use.

How to Start:

1.

Turn the On/Auto/Off lever to “AUTO” and allow
tank pressure to build.  Motor will stop when tank
pressure reaches “cut-out” pressure.

2.

Pull the regulator knob out and turn clockwise to
increase pressure. When the desired pressure is
reached push knob in to lock in place. The
compressor is ready for use.

NOTE:

Always operate the air compressor in well-

ventilated areas free of gasoline or other combustible
vapors. If the compressor is being used to operate a
sprayer DO NOT place near the spray area.

Before Each Start-Up:

1.

Place On/Auto/Off lever  to “OFF”.

2.

Pull regulator knob out, turn counter-clockwise
until it stops. Push knob in to lock in place.

3.

Attach hose and accessories.

NOTE:

The hose or

accessory will require a quick connect plug if the
air outlet is equipped with a quick connect. 

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.
