Operating Instructions
Initial Start Up
1. Disconnect tools and/or accessories from the air hose and generator
power outlets (if applicable).
2. Open the tank drain valve to allow air to escape. This helps prevent air
pressure buildup in the air tank.
3. Check to see that the belt is installed properly with the correct tension.
4. Flip the pilot valve to the upright position. This provides a loadless start.
5. Run the compressor for at least 2 minutes in this no-load position to
lubricate the bearings and piston.
6. Turn off compressor, drain liquid from tanks and close drain valve.
Start Up
1. Slowly open tank drain by turning clockwise. Allow any water in tank to
drain out. Close fitting securely.
2. Before starting the compressor, check for broken components and
accessories, and check for damage to the hose.
3. Make sure the power switch on the engine is turned to the “O”(OFF)
position.
4. Attach desired tool to the end of the air hose and plug in any items you
wish to power to the generator
5. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the “I”(ON) position.
6. Adjust regulator knob to desired pressure level once the pump has shut off
and the compressor has stopped running.
Storage
1. Disconnect tools and/or accessories from the air hose and unplug all
cords from the generator (if applicable).
2. Locate drain valve on bottom side of tank.
3. Open drain valve to release remaining pressurized air and moisture from
the air tank. Moisture buildup in the tank is normal with air compressors, so
a small amount of water may come out while draining the tank. Draining the
tank is vital for longevity and safety of your air compressor.
4. Close valve and store the compressor in a cool, dry place.
Shut Down
1. Turn the ON/OFF switch to the OFF position.
2. Rotate the pressure regulator knob counterclockwise until it is fully closed.
Check regulated pressure gauge to ensure that it reads 0 PSI.
3. Remove air hose and other connected accessories.
4. Slowly open air tank drain valve to release remaining pressurized air, and
tilt unit to fully drain accumulated liquid from air tanks. A small amount of
moisture build-up in the tank is normal. Draining the tank is vital for the
longevity and safely of your air compressor.
5. Close drain valve.
6. Allow compressor to cool down and disconnect all items from the air
hoses and generator receptacles.
