INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES

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.

If repairing or replacing cord or plug, the grounding wire must be kept separate from the current-carrying wires. Never connect the grounding wire to a flat blade plug terminal. The grounding wire has insulation with an outer surface that is green - with or without yellow stripes.

Air Hose

The air hose attached to your compressor has an integral pressure adjusting valve at the working end of the hose. Should service or replacement be required, make sure that the pressure adjusting valve is present in the air hose line. It is normal for the adjustable pressure valve to release air during operation.

If these grounding instructions are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the compres sor is properly grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electrician.

120 Volt Models

DO NOT REPLACE THE HOSE WITH STANDARD HOSE THAT IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH THE PRES- SURE ADJUSTING VALVE. THE APPROPRIATE HOSE ASSEMBLY FOR YOUR COMPRESSOR IS AVAILABLE AT SEARS.

Do not allow hose to become kinked or pinched at any time. This is important to avoid damage to your compressorandtomaintainpressureadjustingvalve control.

120 Volts, 15 Amps

OPERATING PROCEDURES

1.Before plugging in the air compressor, set the adjust- able pressure valve to "10" PSI. Make sure the "ON/ OFF" switch is in the "OFF" position.

2.Connect the air tool or accessory to the air hose. Tighten securely.

3.Plug the power cord into the grounded outlet.

4.Start the compressor by setting the "ON/OFF" switch to the "ON" position.

5.Check the manufacturer's maximum pressure rating for the air tool, accessory or vehicle tire being used. The air compressor outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.

6.Slowly increase the pressure setting of the adjustable pressure valve. You should be able to hear and feel air pressure being relieved by the adjustable pressure valve. If pressure is not being relieved, turn the air compressor off immediately. The pressure valve must be replaced.

TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE COULD CAUSE AN AIR TOOL OR VEHICLE TIRE TO RUPTURE OR EXPLODE. CAREFULLY FOLLOW STEPS 5 AND 6 EACH TIME YOU USE YOUR COMPRESSOR.

Compressed air from the outfit may contain water condensation. Do not spray unfiltered air at an item that could be damaged by moisture. Some air operated tools or devices may require filtered air. Read the instructions for the air tool or device.
