SECTION 4: OPERATIONS

Operation Overview

The purpose of this overview is to provide the nov-
ice machine operator with a basic understanding 
of how the machine is used during operation, so 
the machine controls/components discussed later 
in this manual are easier to understand.

Due  to  the  generic  nature  of  this  overview,  it  is 

not intended to be an instructional guide. To learn 
more  about  specific  operations,  read  this  entire 
manual, seek additional training from experienced 
machine  operators,  and  do  additional  research 
outside of this manual by reading "how-to" books, 
trade magazines, or websites.

To reduce your risk of 

serious injury, read this 

entire manual BEFORE 

using machine.

To complete a typical operation, the operator 
does the following:

1.  Puts on safety glasses. 

2.  Pulls safety valve ring to test valve and clear 

any obstructions.

Eye injury hazard! Always 

wear safety glasses when 

using this machine.

If you are not experienced with this type 

of machine, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND 

that you seek additional training outside of 

this manual. Read books/magazines or get 

formal training before beginning any proj-

ects. Regardless of the content in this sec-

tion, Grizzly Industrial will not be held liable 

for accidents caused by lack of training.

Do not touch compressor 

head or discharge line 

during use or immediately 

after compressor is active. 

These hot parts may cause 

burns.

3.  Turns  regulator  knob  all  the  way  counter-

clockwise.

4.  Puts  on  any  additional  personal  protective 

equipment required by operation and attach-
ment tool.

5.  Connects machine to power and turns it ON.

6.  Allows machine to run until cut-out pressure 

has been reached and tank is full.

7.  Turns  regulator  knob  clockwise  until  line 

pressure gauge displays pressure lower than 
or equal to air tool rating.

8.  Connects air hose to quick-connect coupler.

9.  Connects attachment air tool to air hose.

10.  While  being  careful  not  to  create  a  tripping 

hazard with hose, performs operation.

11.  Turns machine OFF and disconnects it from 

power.

12.  Uses safety relief valve to reduce tank pres-

sure to less than 10 PSI.

13.  Disconnects attachment tool from hose.

14.  Disconnects hose from compressor.

15.  Opens drain valve to drain any condensation 

from tank.

16.  Closes drain valve.
