USING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
See Figures 6 - 8.
Ensure tank drain is closed.
Ensure lever of the pressure switch is in the ‘OFF’ position and air compressor is unplugged. Connect the air line to the quick coupler.
WARNING:
Always ensure the lever of the pressure switch is in the ‘OFF’ position and the regulator pressure gauge read zero before changing air tools or disconnecting the hose from the air outlet. Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury.
Rotate regulator knob fully counterclockwise in order to close the air flow.
Fill the compressor pump with oil. Do not overfill. Connect the power cord to the power supply. Place the lever of the pressure switch in ‘AUTO’ position, in order to switch on the compressor. Rotate pressure regulator knob to desired line pressure. Turning the knob clockwise increases air pressure at the outlet; turning counterclockwise reduces air pressure at the outlet.
WARNING:
Your tool may require more air consumption than this air compressor is capable of providing. Check the tool manual to avoid damage to the tool or risk of personal injury.
Following all safety precautions in this manual and the manufacturer’s instructions in the air tool manual, you may now proceed to use your
If using an inflation accessory, control the amount of air flow with the pressure regulator knob. Turning the knob fully counterclockwise will completely stop the flow of air.
NOTE: Always use the minimum amount of pressure necessary for your application. Using a higher pressure than needed will drain air from the tank more rapidly and cause the unit to cycle on more frequently.
When finished, always drain the tank and unplug the unit. Never leave the unit plugged in and/or running unattended.
