STARTUP
1. Before each startup, make sure the power switch is in the OFF position.
2. Place air compressor on a flat, level surface.
3. Slowly open tank drain valve to release pressure from the system and drain moisture from
the air tank. Once all the moisture has drained out, close tank drain valve securely.
NOTE:
Air tank will not pressurize while drain valve is open.
4. Turn the pressure regulator knob fully counterclockwise to close airflow from air outlet
port.
5. Attach air hose and accessories.
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.
6. Before connecting the compressor to the grounded outlet, check for broken components and
accessories, and check for damage to the hose.
7. Plug power cord directly into a properly grounded power source of the correct voltage
(see Grounding Instructions on page 9 of this instruction manual).
8. Turn the compressor ON by moving the switch to the AUTO/ON position and allow the
tank pressure to build. Once the air pressure reaches the maximum preset pressure (“cut-
out” pressure) it will automatically shut off.
9. Slowly turn the pressure regulator knob clockwise to open airflow from air outlet port
until desired output pressure is reached.
NOTE:
The air compressor will automatically
restart once the pressure in the air tank drops below the minimum preset pressure (“cut-
in” pressure).
When operating in cold weather (under 45°F) the compressor must
be allowed to warm up before use. This can be accomplished by loosening drain valve
enough to allow any air to escape the tanks. Start up compressor and allow to run with
drain valve open for approximately 3-5 minutes to warm up before closing drain valve and
proceeding with use.
