* To check for air leaks apply a solution of soapy water around joints.
While compressor is pumping to pressure and after pressure cuts out,
look for air bubbles to form.
** The pump oil must be changed after the first 20 hours of operation.
Thereafter, when using
full synthetic non-detergent air compressor
oil, change oil every 100 hours of operation or once a year, whichever
comes first.
+ Perform more frequent in dusty or humid conditions.

Shut-down (Fig. 2)
1. Move Auto/Off switch to the OFF (O) position.
NOTE: If finished using compressor, follow Steps 2 - 7.
2. Turn the regulator knob counterclockwise until fully closed. Ensure
regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
3. Remove hose and accessory.
WARNING:
Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
4. Drain the air tank, see Draining Air Tank under Maintenance.
Ensure air tank pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
WARNING:
Risk of bursting. Drain air tank daily. Water will
condense in air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken
the air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.
5. Allow the compressor to cool down.
6. Wipe air compressor clean and store in a safe, non-freezing area.
7. Unplug air compressor and wrap cord loosely around the handle.
WARNING:
Risk of unsafe operation. Unit cycles automati-
cally when power is on. When performing maintenance, you may
be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air, or moving parts.
Personal injuries can occur. Before performing any maintenance or
repair, disconnect power source from the compressor and bleed off
all air pressure.
To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air compressor
outfit, a routine maintenance schedule should be prepared and fol-
lowed. The following routine maintenance schedule is geared to an
outfit in a normal working environment operating on a daily basis.
If necessary, the schedule should be modified to suit the condi-
tions under which your compressor is used. The modifications will
depend upon the hours of operation and the working environment.
Compressor outfits in an extremely dirty and/or hostile environment
will require a greater frequency of all maintenance checks.
NOTE:
See Operation section for the location of controls.
