TURNING UNIT OFF
Follow the shut-down procedure in the operating procedures section.
ADJUSTING REGULATOR
1 . Pull regulator knob (L) out
2 . Turn knob clockwise to increase regulated
pressure and counter clockwise to
decrease regulated pressure.
3 . When desired pressure is shown on the
regulated pressure gage push knob in to
l o c k .
INSTALLING HOSES
WARNING: Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
1 . Ensure regulated pressure gage reads 0 PSI.
2 . Grasp hose in hand at coupler location.
3 . Pull back collar on female quick connect coupler (M) located on
c o m p r e s s o r.
4 . Push male connector into female connector.
5 . Release female connector
6 . Grasp hose and pull to ensure couplers are seated
7 . Adjust regulator to desired pressure.
DISCONNECTING HOSES

disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
1 . Ensure regulated pressure gage reads 0 PSI.
2 . Grasp hose in hand at coupler location
3 . Pull back collar on female quick connect coupler located on

5 . Release female connector
DRAINING TANKS
WA R N I N G : Tanks contain high pressure air. Keep face and other
body parts away from outlet of drain. Use safety glasses when
draining as debris can be kicked up into face. Use ear protection as air
flow noise is loud when draining.
N O T E : All compressed air systems generate condensate that
accumulates in any drain point (e.g. tanks, filter, aftercoolers, dryers).
This condensate contains lubricating oil and/or substances which may
be regulated and must be disposed of in accordance with local, state,
and federal laws and regulations.
1 . Ensure ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.
2 . Move compressor into an inclined position so drain valve(s) are at
the lowest point (this will assist in removing moisture, dirt, etc. from
t a n k s )
3 . Place a suitable container under the drains to catch discharge.
4 . Grasp black lever on one drain valve.
5 . Slowly rotate lever so as to gradually bleed air from tank.
6 . Grasp black lever on other drain valve and rotate to approximately
the same position as the first. (For twin tank units)
7 . When tank pressure gauge reads 10 psi, rotate valve(s) to the fully
open position.
8 . Close drain valve(s) when finished.
