OPERA

TING INSTRUCTIONS

DAILY STARTUP

• 

Every day check the sight glass to ensure that the level of oil in the pump is at 

the required level. The pump oil level must be between A and B (see Fig. 6). Do 

not overfill or underfill. 

• 

Turn the pressure switch to the OFF position (C).

• 

Close the tank petcock (E).

• 

Plug in the power cord. High temperatures are generated by the electric motor 

and the pump.

• 

Turn the pressure switch to the ON position (D).

• 

If a pressure regulator is present on your compressor, adjust it to the working 

pressure of the tool. When adjusting from a higher to a lower pressure, turn 

the knob counterclockwise past the desired setting, then turn clockwise to 

reach the desired pressure. Do not exceed operating pressure of the tool or 

accessory being used.

SHUTDOWN

• 

Turn the pressure switch to the OFF position (C).

• 

Unplug the power cord.

• 

Reduce pressure in the tank through the outlet hose. You can also pull the 

relief valve ring (G) and keep it open to relieve pressure in the tank. Escaping 

air and moisture can propel debris that may cause eye injury. Wear safety 

goggles when opening petcock.

• 

Open the petcock (F) to allow moisture to drain from the tank.
