NOTE:Always drain air tank over a washablesurface or in a
suitable container to preventdamaging or staining surfaces.
4. Pull ON - OFFswitch to ON position. Compressorwill
start.
5. Run compressor for 15 minutes. Makesure drain valve
remainsopen.
6. After 15 minutes, close drain valve (rotate fully
clockwise). Air tank will fill to "cut-out" pressure and
compressor will stop.
NOTE:Checkoil level in compressor after break-in.
Thecompressor has completedthe break-in procedureand
is ready for normal use.
Starting YourAir Compressor
1. Make sure ON =OFFswitch (A) is in OFFposition.
2. Plug power cord into an isolated 120 Volt A.C.
grounded outlet. See Grounding Instructions.
3. Turn pressurecontrol knob (B) counterclockwise until
knob turns without resistance.
4. Pull ON - OFFswitch to ON position. Compressorwill
start.
NOTE:If the motor fails to start, referto Troubleshooting.
Theair compressor is fully automatic and is controlled by
the pressure switch. Thecompressor will run until pressure
in the air tank reachescut-out pressure. The compressor will
restart when pressure in the air tank falls below the cut-in
pressure. See Glossaryfor definitions.
NOTE:Alwaysoperatethe air compressor in weft-ventilated
areasfree of gasoline or other flammable/combustible
vapors. If the compressor is being used to spray volatile
chemicals (such as paint), locatethe compressor at least
20 feet (6.1 meters) awayfrom the spray area.
Compressor Operation
You do not have to usethe maximum operating pressure at
all times becausethe air tool being used often requires less
pressure. Hereare generalguidelines for setting pressure.
1. With air compressor connectedto proper power and
turned ON,attachdesired air tool or accessory to quick
connect fitting. SeeAir Tool Operation.Use
recommendedair hose and quick connect fitting.
2. Activate air tool and turn pressure control knob
clockwise to increaseoutlet pressure.
3. Observe regulated pressure gaugeand adjust pressure
to recommendedsetting of accessory tool.
NOTE:You must adjust outlet air pressurewhile tool is
operating or activated.
4. Always operatethis unit on a level surface to avoid
lubrication problems.
Overload Protection Reset
This compressor is equippedwith an overload protection
feature that protects the motor, if the circuit breakertrips,
wait 15 minutes for the motor to cool. Then push the RESET
button (C) locatedon the motor shroud.
Also see Troubleshootingfor more information.
Stopping YourAir Compressor
1. Push ON=OFFswitch to OFFposition. Compressor
motor will stop.
2. If finished using compressor, unplug compressor's
power cord from outlet.
3. Pull safety valve ring to releasemost of tank's
compressed air. Releasevalve ring.
4. Opendrain valveto fully drain air tank.
NOTE:Always drain air tank over a washablesurface or in a
suitable container to prevent damaging or staining surfaces.
NOTE:The compressor generatescondensationwater
(condensate)that accumulatesin the air tank. Drainthe
condensateevery4 hours or daily.
5. Closedrain valve.
