grounding plug. The plug must be used with an outlet that has been installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. The outlet must have the same configuration as the plug. DO NOT USE AN ADAPTER.

Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if there are signs of damage.

DANGER: Improper grounding can result in electrical shock. Do not modify the plug that has been provided. If it does not fit the available outlet, the correct outlet should be installed by a qualified electrician.

OPERATING

PROCEDURES

Daily Start-up Checklist

1.Before attaching air hose or accessories, make sure the pressure switch lever is set to “OFF” and the air regulator or shut-off valve is closed.

2.Attach 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.

3.Turn the pressure switch lever to “ON/AUTO” and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank pressure reaches “cut-out” pressure.

4.Open the regulator by turning it clockwise. Adjust the regulator to the correct pressure setting. Your compressor is ready for use.

5.Always operate the air compressor in well-ventilated areas; free of gasoline or other solvent vapors. Do not operate the compressor near the spray area.

When you are finished:

6.Set the pressure switch lever to “OFF”.

7.Using the air tool or accessory, bleed the tank pressure down to zero.

8.Remove the air tool or accessory.

9.Drain water from air tank by opening drain cock valve on bottom of tank. WATER WILL CONDENSE IN THE AIR TANK. IF NOT DRAINED, WATER WILL CORRODE AND WEAKEN THE AIR TANK CAUSING A RISK OF AIR TANK RUPTURE.

Note:

If drain cock valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.

10.After the water has been drained, close the drain valve. The air compressor can now be stored.
