How to Start:

1.Set the On/Off switch to "On" and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure.

2.Turn regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure and stop when desired pressure is reached.

If any unusual noise or vibration

is noticed, stop the compressor immediately and have it checked by a trained service technician.

The compressor is ready for use.

Unit cycles automatically when

power is on. When performing maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air, or moving parts. Personal injuries can occur. Before performing any maintenance or repair, disconnect power source from the compressor and bleed off all air pressure.

NOTE: See Operation section for the location of controls.

To Drain Tank

Risk of Unsafe

Operation. Risk from noise. Air tanks contain high pressure air. Keep face and other body parts away from outlet of drain. Use ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) when draining as debris can be kicked up into face. Use ear protection [(ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)] hearing protection) as air flow noise is loud when draining.

To Check Safety Valve

Risk of Bursting. If the safety valve

does not work properly, over- pressurization may occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion.

Risk from Flying Objects. Always wear certified safety equipment:

ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) with side shields

1.Before starting compressor, pull the ring on the safety valve to make sure that the safety valve operates freely. If the valve

is stuck or does not operate smoothly, it must be replaced with the same type of valve.

1.Set the On/Off switch to "Off".

2.Turn the regulator knob counter- clockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero.

3.Remove the air tool or accessory.

4.Pull ring on safety valve allowing air to bleed from the tank until tank pressure is approximately 20 psi. Release safety valve ring.

5.Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve on bottom of tank.

Risk of Bursting.

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.
