Air Hose
The air hose attached to your compressor has an integ­
ral pressure adjusting valve at the working end of the
hose. Should service or replacement be required make
sure that the pressure adjusting valve is present in the air
hose line - Do not replace hose with standard hose that
is not equipped with the pressure adjusting valve. The
appropriate hose assembly is available at Sears for your
compressor.
Do not allow hose to become kinked or
pinched at any time. This is important to
avoid damage to your compressor and to
maintain pressure adjusting vaive control.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
1. Before plugging in the air compressor, set the adjust­
able pressure valve to “0 psi”. Make sure the “ON-
OFF” switch is in the “OFF” position.
2. Connect the air hose to the air outlet adapter. Tighten
securely.
3. Connect the air tool or accessory to the air hose.
Tighten securely.
4. Plug the power cord into the grounded outlet.
5. Start the compressor by setting the “ON-OFF” switch
to the “ON” position.
WARNING
]
TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE COULD CAUSE
AN AIR TOOL OR VEHICLE TIRE TO RUP­
TURE OR EXPLODE. CAREFULLY FOLLOW
STEPS 6 AND 7 EACH TIME YOU USE YOUR
COMPRESSOR.
6. Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating
for the air tool, accessory or vehicle tire being used.
The air compressor outlet pressure must never
exceed the maximum pressure rating.
7 Slowly increase the pressure setting of the adjustable
pressure valve. You should be able to hear and feel
air pressure being relieved by the adjustable pressure
valve. If pressure is not being relieved, turn the air
compressor off immediately. The pressure valve
must be replaced.
Compressed air from the outfit may contain
water condensation. Do not spray unfiltered
air at an item that could be damaged. Some
air operated tools or devices may require
filtered air. Read the instructions for the air
tool or device.
