Operation
Pre-Start Checklist
1. Remove any moisture in the air compressor tank. Remove excessive pressure by pulling on the
safety relief valve ring or with an air tool, then open the air tank drain valve in the bottom of the air
tank. Close tightly when drained.
Warning: Risk of bodily injury. NEVER attempt to open the drain valve when
more than 0.7 bar of air pressure is in the air tank!
2. Make sure the air compressor Motor Switch is in the
OFF (0)
position.
3. Make sure all safety valves are working correctly.
4. Make sure all guards and covers are in place and securely mounted.
Start-Up
1. Ensure the lever on the pressure switch box is in the
OFF (0)
position.
2. Plug the power cord into the grounded outlet.
3. Move the motor switch to the
ON (1)
position.
4. This will allow the air compressor to
Start
building up pressure in the air tanks and
Stop
when
correct pressure is achieved. When pressure drops with usage, the air compressor will
Start
building
up pressure again.
5. Set pressure by adjusting the pressure regulator knob counter-clockwise 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 motor switch to the
OFF (0)
position. NEVER stop
the air compressor by unplugging it from the power source. This could result in risk of electrocution.
2. Drain air from the air tank by releasing air with an attached air tool or by pulling on the safety relief
valve ring.
3. Once pressure in the air tanks register under 0.7 bar, open the drain valve under each air tank to
drain any moisture.
4. Allow the air compressor to cool down.
5. Wipe air compressor clean and store in a safe, non-freezing area.
Maintenance
Read the instruction manual before performing maintenance. The following procedures must be
performed when stopping the air compressor for maintenance or service.
1. Turn off the air compressor.
Warning: Never assume the air compressor is safe to work on just because it
is not operating. It could restart at any time!
2. Disconnect cord from main power supply.
3. Open all drains.
4. Wait for the air compressor to cool before starting service.
