OPERATING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
Do not attach air hose, air tools or other air accessories
to the air outlet until break-in procedure has been successfully completed.
INITIAL SETUP / BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
1. Read and understand the entire instruction manual, including all safety warnings before
setting up air compressor.
2. Place air compressor on a flat, level surface.
3. Turn the pressure regulator knob fully clockwise to open airflow from air outlet port.
Be careful not to overtighten pressure regulator knob when it “bot-
toms out” as this may damage pressure regulator.
4. Turn the compressor power switch to the OFF position.
5. Plug power cord directly into a properly grounded power source of the correct voltage
(see Grounding Instructions on page 9 of this instruction manual).
6. Open (turn clockwise) the tank drain valve to allow air to escape preventing air pressure
buildup in the air tank.
7. Turn the compressor ON by moving the switch to the AUTO/ON position and run the air
compressor for a period of 20 minutes to break-in the air pump.
8. With the compressor still running, at the end of the 20-minute break-in period, close
(turn counterclockwise) the tank drain valve. The air compressor will build air pressure to
the maximum preset pressure (“cut-out” pressure) and automatically shut off.
9. Slowly open (turn clockwise) tank drain valve to bleed off air from the air tank. The air
compressor will automatically restart once the pressure in the air tank drops below the
minimum preset pressure (“cut-in” pressure).
10. Turn the compressor off by moving the switch to the OFF position.
11. Slowly open tank drain valve to release pressure from the system and drain moisture from
the air tank. Tilt tank to remove all moisture. Once all the moisture has drained out, close
tank drain valve securely.
NOTE:
Air tank will not pressurize while drain valve is open.
12. Disconnect the power cord from the power outlet.
NOTE:
Make sure the power switch is in the OFF position when connecting or discon-
necting power cord from electrical outlet.
13. Your new air compressor is now ready to use.
