OPERATION
PRE-START CHECKLIST
1. Always operate the compressor in a level position to allow the tank to drain.
2. Inspect/clean/change intake elements on a regular basis. The ingestion
of dirt into the pump is the primary cause of premature wear. Check
intake filters daily.
3. Check tension of bolts and hardware on a regular basis. Operation of
any equipment with loose bolts and/or fittings will lead to excessive
vibration and the premature failure of the compressor system control
components.
4. Drain moisture from the air tank daily. Water is a natural by-product of
compressed air. Drain the air tank after each use to combat internal
tank corrosion. Keep drain valves open if storing compressor for any
length of time.
DAILY START UP
WARNING! High temperatures are generated by the electric motor and the
pump. To prevent burns or other injuries, DO NOT touch the compressor
while it is running. Allow it to cool before handling or servicing. Keep
children away from the compressor at all times.
WARNING! When adjusting from a higher to a lower pressure, turn the knob
anticlockwise past the desired setting, then turn clockwise to reach the desired
pressure. Do not exceed operating pressure of the tool or accessory being used.
1. Turn the pressure switch to the OFF position (A). (Fig. 2)
2. Close the tank drain valve (D). (Fig. 4)
3. Plug in the power cord.
4. Turn the pressure switch to the AUTO position (A). (Fig. 2)
5. Adjust the air pressure regulator to the working pressure of the tool
being used.
SHUTDOWN
1. Turn the pressure switch to the OFF position (A).
2. Unplug the power cord.
3. Reduce pressure in the tank by slowly opening the drain valve at the
bottom of the tank (B). The escaping air will also blow condensation out.
Leave the drain valve open until the next use.
