NOTE: The hose or accessory will require a quick connect plug if the air outlet is equipped with a quick connect socket.

Risk of Bursting. Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.

Risk of unsafe operation. Compressed air from the unit may contain water condensation and oil mist. Do not spray unfiltered air at an item that could be damaged by moisture. Some air tools and accessories may require filtered air. Read the instructions for the air tools and accessories.

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.

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.
