1.Position compressor on a flat surface or one with an inclination of 10° or less in a well ventilated area away from flammable vapors.
2.Ensure that all covers and labels are in place, label are legible and securely mounted. Do not use compressor until all the above items have been verified.
3.Ensure that drain valve is closed in the vertical position (A).
4.Ensure that the safety valve (B) is functioning properly by pulling on the valve ring and allow the valve to reset. The safety release valve is designed to protect against high pressure air from the air tank when its factory set pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch
WARNING If the safety release valve vents under normal operating condi- tions stop using the compressor immediately
and send you compressor for service. If the safety release valve is venting the tanks the pilot valve may need factory adjustment.
5.Attach hoses to the compressor (C). See
“Connecting Air Supply” below.
6.Flip the toggle on top of the pilot valve (D) to the upright position. The air compressor will
unload and allow for easier engine
7.Start the engine (refer to the Engine Manual accompanying this unit.)
8.When the engine has run for
9.If you notice any unusual noise or vibration, stop the air compressor and refer to
“troubleshooting”.
Hot Surfaces
WARNING Use care when touching exposed metal surfaces of compressor.
Many components such as compressor head, engine/motor, and tubing will remain hot even after the air compressor has been shut down. Allow compressor to cool before moving or attempting maintenance.
Adjusting regulator
This compressor is provided with an internal reg- ulator that controls the output pressure of two female quick connect couplers. Regulated pres- sure will be equal to or less than tank pressure depending on user setting.
