up or use of this product.
Close the Drain Valve (65) by turning 1.
it counterclockwise.
Make sure all nuts and bolts are tight.
2.
Check for oil leaks and check the oil 3.
level (See Checking the Oil).
Close the in-line Shutoff Valve
4.
between the compressor and the air
hose.
Make sure the air tool’s throttle or
5.
switch is in the off position.
Connect the air tool to the air hose.
6.
Plug the Air Compressor Power Cord 7.
into a grounded 120 V electrical
outlet.
Open the in-line Shutoff Valve.
8.
Turn the compressor ON by pulling 9.
up on the On/Off Power Button.
Allow the Air Compressor to build up
10.
pressure until it cycles off.
note: At the beginning of the day’s first
use of the Air Compressor, check for
air leaks by applying soapy water to
connections while the Air Compressor
is pumping and after pressure
cut-out. Look for air bubbles. If air
bubbles are present at connections,
tighten connections. Do not use the
air compressor unless all connections
are air tight, the extra air leaking out
will cause the compressor to operate
too often, increasing wear on the
compressor.
note: As long as the Power Button is ON,
the operation of the Air Compressor
is automatic, controlled by the
internal Pressure Switch (55). The
Compressor will turn on automatically
when the air pressure drops to 80 PSI
as indicated on the Pressure Gauge,
and will turn off automatically when
the air pressure reaches 115 PSI as
indicated. ImPortant: The internal
Pressure Switch (55) is not user
adjustable, do not make changes
to the air pressure settings of the
internal Pressure Switch. Any
change to the automatic pressure
levels may cause excess pressure
to accumulate, causing a hazardous
situation.
Adjust the Air Compressor’s
11.
Regulator (58) so that the air output
is enough to properly power the tool,
but the output will not exceed the
tool’s maximum air pressure at any
time. Turn the knob clockwise to
increase the pressure and counter-
clockwise to decrease pressure.
Adjust the pressure gradually, while
checking the air output gauge to set
the pressure.
Use the air tool as needed.
12.
After the job is complete, turn the 13.
Compressor OFF by pushing down
on the On/Off Button.
Unplug the Air Compressor.
14.
Close the in-line Shutoff Valve. 15.
