How to Start:

1.  Set the On/Off switch to ON (I) 

and allow tank pressure to build.  
Motor will stop when tank pressure 
reaches "cut-out" pressure.

2.  Pull the regulator knob out 

and turn clockwise to increase 
pressure. When the desired 
pressure is reached push knob in 
to lock in place. 

The compressor is ready for use.

Risk of Bursting. 

Too much air 

pressure causes a hazardous 

risk of bursting. Check the 

manufacturer’s maximum pressure 

rating for air tools and accessories. 

The regulator outlet pressure 

must never exceed the maximum 

pressure rating.

NOTE:

 See "Operation" section for 

the location of controls.

Unit cycles 

automatically 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 Check Safety Valve

If the safety valve 

does not work 

properly, over-pressurization may 

occur, causing air tank rupture or 

an explosion. 

1.  Before starting compressor, pull 

the ring on the safety valve to 

make sure that the safety valve 

operates freely. If the valve 

is stuck or does not operate  

smoothly, it must be replaced 

with the same type of  valve.
