How to Use Your Unit
How to Stop:
1. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF".
Check Valve: When the air compressor is
operating, the check valve is "open", allowing
compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air
compressor reaches "cut-out" pressure, the check
valve "closes", allowing air pressure to remain inside
the air tank.
Check Valve
Before Starting
Break-in Procedure
Risk of Unsafe Operation. 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: 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 (counterclockwise) to permit air to escape and
prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during the break-in period.
4. Move the On/Auto/Off lever to "On/Auto" position. 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, 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.
Before Each Start-Up:
1. Place On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF".
2. Pull regulator knob out, turn counterclockwise 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
socket.
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.
