2.Check oil level in pump. See "Oil" paragraph in the "Maintenance" section for instructions.

3.Recheck all wiring. Make sure wires are secure at all terminals connections. Make sure all contacts move freely and are not obstructed.

4.Open the globe valve fully to permit air to escape and prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during the break-in period.

5.Move the On/Auto/Off lever to "On/Auto" position. The compressor will start.

6.Run the compressor for 20 minutes. Make sure the globe valve is open and there is minimal air pressure build-up in tank.

7.Check all air line fittings and connections/piping for air leaks by applying a soap solution. Correct if necessary. NOTE: Minor leaks can cause the air compressor to overwork, resulting in premature breakdown or inadequate performance.

8.Check for excessive vibration. Readjust or shim air compressor feet, if necessary.

9.After 20 minutes, close the globe valve. The air receiver will fill to "cut-out" pressure and the motor will stop.

Before Each Start-Up:

1.Place On/Auto/Off lever to "Off".

2.Close the globe valve.

3.Attach hose and accessories. NOTE: A regulator MUST be installed when using accessories rated at less than 175 PSI.

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.

How to Start:

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

2.When the tank pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure open the globe valve.

IMPORTANT: When using regulator and other accessories refer to the manufacturers instructions.

The compressor is ready for use.
