14- ENG A10055
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. Pull the regulator knob out and turn clockwise to increase pressure.
When the desired pressure is reached push knob in to lock in place. The
compressor is ready for use.
Risk to Breathing. Always operate the air compressor in
well-ventilated areas free of gasoline or other combustible
vapors. If the compressor is being used to operate a sprayer DO NOT
place near the spray area.
Before Each Start-Up:
1. Place On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF".
2. Pull the regulator knob out and turn counter-clockwise to set the outlet
pressure to zero.
3. Attach hose and accessories.
Risk of Flying Objects. Pull the regulator knob out and
turn counter-clockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero
when removing hose or accessories to prevent hose backlash.
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.
3. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. (Refer to
Voltage and Circuit Protection paragraph in the Installation section of this
manual.)
4. Open the drain valve fully (counter-clockwise) 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 drain valve is open and
there is minimal air pressure build-up in tank.
7. After 20 minutes, close the drain valve (clockwise). The air receiver will fill
to "cut-out" pressure and the motor will stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.
