How to Start

1.Turn the Auto/Off switch to "Auto" and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank pres- sure reaches "cut-out" pressure.

2.Pull the regulator knob out and turn clockwise to increase pressure. When the desired pressure is reached push knob in to lock in place. The compressor is ready for use.

Risk of fire or explosion. Always

operate the air compressor in well-

ventilated areas free of gasoline or other combustible vapors. If the compressor is being used to operate a sprayer DO NOT place near the spray area.

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.

Risk of Unsafe

Operation. Unit cycles automatically when power is on. When servicing, you may be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air, or moving parts. Before servicing unit unplug or disconnect electrical supply to the air compressor, bleed tank of pressure, and allow the air compressor to cool.

To ensure efficient operation and lon- ger life of the air compressor, a routine maintenance schedule should be pre- pared and followed. The above routine maintenance schedule is geared to an air compressor in a normal working

environment operating on a daily basis. If necessary, the schedule should be modified to suit the conditions under which your air compressor is used. The modifications will depend upon the hours of operation and the work- ing environment. Compressors in an extremely dirty and/or hostile environ- ment will require a greater frequency of all maintenance checks.

NOTE: See Operation section for the location of controls.
