OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Please  read  and  follow  the  operating  instructions 
carefully to assure that you will enjoy the convenience 
and best use out of your air compressor.   

IMPORTANT:  

1.

Always  operate  the  compressor  AT  OR  BELOW  THE 
MAXIMUM  PRESSURE  RATING  of  the  compressor.  
Refer to Specifications section of this manual.

2.

Always  OBSERVE  THE  MAXIMUM  DUTY  CYCLE  of  the 
air  compressor.    Refer  to  Specifications  section  of  this 
manual  for  details.  Operations  exceeding  maximum 
pressure ratings and or duty cycle will result in damage 
to air compressor.

3.

Your  air  compressor  is  equipped  with  an  AUTOMATIC 
THERMAL  OVERLOAD  PROTECTOR.    This  feature  is 
designed  to  protect  the  air  compressor  from  over-
heating  causing  permanent  damage  to  your  air 
compressor.  The  thermal  overload  protector  will 
automatically  cut  off  power  to  air  compressor  should 
internal operating temperature of the air compressor rise 
above safe levels during excessive use. 

4.

Should  at  any  time  during  use,  your  air  compressor 
automatically  shuts  off,  do  not  attempt  to  restart  air 
compressor.    Turn  ON/OFF  switch of  air compressor to 
the  OFF  position.  The  automatic  thermal  overload 
protector  will  automatically  reset  when  internal 
temperature  of  the  air  compressor  drops  below  safe 
level.  After allowing air compressor to cool off for about 
30  minutes,  you  can  safely  resume  use  of  the  air 
compressor by turning on the air compressor.

5.

Please  note  that  you  may  experience  a  slight  delay 
(about  ½  second)  of  the  compressor’s  motor  starting 
when  the  On/Off  Switch  is  turned  on  while  compressor 
is pressurized (when there is pressure in the line that the 
compressor is connected to).  This is a normal delayed 
reaction, not a Compressor ON/OFF switch malfunction.

6.

It  is  strongly  recommended  that  you  keep  the  vehicle’s 
engine  running  while  using  the  air  compressor  to 
prevent discharge of your vehicle’s battery. 

7.

ONLY  OPERATE  THE  AIR  COMPRESSOR  IN  WELL 
VENTILATED  AREAS.  Compressor  performance  is 
enhanced  when  operating  compressor  with  vehicle 
engine running.
