OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
1.
IMPORTANT: Always operate the compressor at or BELOW the MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING
of the compressor. Please refer to Application & Specifications Sections of this manual for details.
2. Always observe the MAXIMUM DUTY CYCLE of the air compressor. Refer to Compressor
Applications and Specifications Section of this manual for details. Operation exceeding maximum
pressure ratings and or duty cycle will result in damage to air compressor.
3. Your air compressors are equipped with an AUTOMATIC THERMAL OVERLOAD PROTECTOR.
This feature is designed to protect the air compressor from overheating causing permanent
damage to your air compressor. The thermal overload protector will automatically cut off power to
your air compressor should the internal operating temperature of the air compressor rise above
safe levels during excessive use.
4. Should at any time during use, your air compressor automatically shuts off; do not attempt to
restart air compressor. Turn power switch to the air compressor to the OFF position. The
automatic thermal overload protector will automatically reset when internal temperature of the air
compressor drops below safe levels. After allowing air compressor to cool off for about 30
minutes, you can safely resume use of the air compressor by turning on the air compressor.
5. To prevent discharge of your vehicle’s battery, we strongly recommend that you keep the vehicle’s
engine running while using the air compressor. Compressor performance is enhanced when
operating compressor with vehicle’s engine running.
6.
IMPORTANT: ONLY OPERATE THE AIR COMPRESSOR IN WELL-VENTILATED AREAS.
AIR TANK PRECAUTIONS
INSTALL PROCESS:
1. Bracket
2. 2on2 Kit
3. Torque All Hardware
IMPORTANT:
1. The 2on2 air tank is rated for either 150 or 200 PSI maximum working pressure, depending on
model number of the kit you have purchased. Over pressure operation result in death or serious injury.
2. Tank is not to be used as a breathing device.
3. Always wear ANSI approved safety glasses when operating air tank.
4. Bleed pressure from tank before servicing or adding attachments.
DRAIN TANK OFTEN TO REMOVE CONDENSATE. FAILURE TO DRAIN TANK REGULARLY WILL
ALLOW TANK TO RUST INTERNALLY.
5. To remove any accumulated condensation inside the tank, bleed pressure from tank until pressure is
approximately 5 PSI to 20 PSI.
6. Drain water from tank by opening the drain cock valve.
7. If drain cock is plugged, release all air pressure from tank, remove drain valve and clean or
replace, then reinstall.
8. After condensate has been drained, close the drain cock.
IMPORTANT: Observe air tank Date of Manufacture (stamped on tank leg). Replace air tank 5 years
from date air tank was first used, or use the date of manufacture as reference. Your adherence to air
tank draining guidelines will determine replacement date of your air tank. RUSTED TANKS CAN FAIL
CAUSING EXPLOSIONS OR FATAL INJURIES. Discard tank immediately if tank is rusted internally.
NOTE: When using a safety pressure relief valve, point the safety pressure relief valve away from your
body. Use the pull ring on the safety relief valve; open the relief valve to vent any pressure inside the tank
before attempting to service tank.
