How to Start
1. Turn the On/Auto/Off lever to “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 com-
pressor is ready for use.
NOTE: 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 Starting
Break-in Procedure
Serious damage may result if the
following break-in instructions are
not closely followed.
This procedure is required before the air compressor
is put into service and when the check valve or a
complete compressor pump has been replaced.
1. Make sure the On/Auto/Off lever is in the "OFF"
position.
NOTE: If hose end adapter was replaced with quick
connect, pull coupler back until it clicks to prevent air
from escaping through the quick connect.
2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit
receptacle. (Refer to Voltage and Circuit
Protection paragraph in the Installation section of
this manual.)
3. Open the drain valve
fully (counter-clock-
wise) to permit air to
escape and prevent air
pressure build up in
the air tank during the break-in period.
How to Use Your Unit
How to Stop :
1. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to “OFF”.
Before Each Start-Up
1. Place On/Auto/Off lever to “OFF”.
2. Pull regulator knob out, turn counter-clockwise
until it stops. Push knob in to lock in place.
3. Attach hose and accessories. NOTE: The hose or
accessory will require a quick connect plug if the
air outlet is equipped with a quick connect.
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.
4. Move the On/Auto/Off lever to "ON/AUTO" posi-
tion. The compressor will start.
5. Run the compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure
the drain valve is open and there is minimal air
pressure build-up in tank.
6. After 15 minutes, move the On/Auto/Off lever to
"OFF" position and close the drain valve (clock-
wise).
7. Move the On/Auto/Off lever to "ON/AUTO" posi-
tion. The air receiver will fill to “cut-out” pressure
and the motor will stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.
