PRE-START CHECKLIST:

1.  Check oil level, add if necessary.

2.  Remove any moisture in the air compressor air tank.  

NEVER attempt to  

open the Air Tank Drain Valve  when more than 10 PSI of air pressure is  

in the air tank!

  Remove excessive pressure with an air tool, then open the  

air tank drain valve in the bottom of the air tank.  Close tightly when drained.

3.  Make sure the pressure switch is in the "OFF" position.

4.  Make sure the safety relief valve is working correctly.

5.  Make sure all guards and covers are in place and securely mounted.

START-UP:  

1.  Read safety warnings before performing operation.

2.  Ensure the pressure switch lever is in the "OFF" position.

3.  Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.

4.  Move the lever on the pressure switch box to the "ON" position.  This will  

allow the air compressor to start  building up pressure in the air tanks.  You  

will hear an air leak for the first 20-50 seconds until the easy start valve closes.   

This will stop when correct pressure is achieved.  When pressure drops with  

usage, the air compressor will start automatically.

5.  Set pressure by adjusting the pressure regulator knob counterclockwise for  

less pressure and clockwise for more pressure.

6.  If you notice any unusual noise or vibration, stop the air compressor and refer  

to "Troubleshooting".

SHUTDOWN:

1.  To stop the air compressor, move the lever on the pressure switch box to  

the "OFF" position.  Never stop the air compressor by unplugging it from the  

power source.  This could result in risk of electrocution or damage to unit.

2.  Drain air from the air tanks by releasing air with an attached air tool or by 

pulling on the safety relief valve test ring.

3.  Once the air tank pressure gauge registers under 10 pounds, open the air  

tank drain valve under each air tank to drain any moisture.

4.  Allow the air compressor to cool down.  

5.  Wipe the air compressor clean and store in a safe, non-freezing area with the  

cord coiled up and protected from accidental damage.

WARNING

RISK OF BODILY INJURY!

Never attempt to open the air tank 

drain valve when more than 10 

PSI is in the air tank!

WARNING

RISK OF BODILY INJURY!

Never assume the air com-

pressor is safe to work on just 

because it is not operating.  It 

could restart at any time!
