3.Route the power cord from the compressor to the grounded wall outlet, along a safe path without creating a tripping hazard or exposing the power cord to possible damage.

Set Up

1.Break in the new Air Compressor as follows:

a.Make sure the Switch is OFF and the unit is unplugged. Insert a male coupler (sold separately) into the female Quick Coupler and fully open all regulators and valves.

b.Plug in the Power Cord.

c.Turn the Power Switch ON (133).

d.Let the unit run for 30 minutes. Air will expel freely through the Coupler.

e.Turn the Power Switch OFF.

f.Unplug the Power Cord and remove the male coupler.

2.Connect a regulator valve, an inline shut off valve and a 1/4” NPT air hose to the Quick Coupler (all sold separately). The air hose must be long enough to reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.

Note: Adding an in-line shutoff valve, such as the female quick disconnect at the compressor outlet, is an important

safety device because it controls the air supply even if the air hose is ruptured.

3.Depending on the tool which you will be using with this compressor, you may need to incorporate additional components, such as an in-line oiler, a filter, or a dryer (all sold separately).

Consult your air tool’s manual for needed accessories.
