BEFORE FIRST START-UP
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
(counter-clockwise) to permit
air to escape and prevent air
pressure build up in the air tank
during the break-in period.
NOTE: Always drain tank on a
washable surface or in a suitable
container to prevent damaging or
staining surfaces.
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.
will stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.
HOW TO STOP
1. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to
"OFF".
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. Turn regulator knob clockwise to
increase pressure and stop when
desired pressure is reached.
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 EACH START-UP
1. Place On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF".
2. Turn the regulator knob
counterclockwise to set the outlet
pressure to zero.
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.
