when the air pressure reaches a

predetermined level. The safety

relief valve is preset by the

manufacturer. DO NOT attempt to

modify or remove the safety relief

valve.

7. AIR TANK DRAIN VALVE:

Moisture is produced whenever air

is compressed. It is critical to drain

water from the air tank on this

compressor frequently. If unit is

used only occasionally, tank

should be drained after each use

and prior to the next use. To drain

the tank, slowly open the tank

drain fitting by turning

counterclockwise Once all

moisture has drained out, close

the fitting securely. NOTE: Air tank

will not pressurize while drain

valve is open.

NOTE: A dirty air filter will reduce

air compressor performance and

can lead to product failure.

8. MANUAL THERMAL

OVERLOAD SWITCH: The

electric motor has a manual

thermal overload protector. If the

motor overheats for any reason,

the thermal overload protector will

shut off the motor. Turn pressure

switch to the OFF position and

wait for unit to cool before pushing

the reset button and restarting the

compressor. NOTICE: This air

compressor is designed for

household use only and is not

intended to operate heavy-duty air

tools. If your application’s

demands exceed the capacity of

this air compressor, a larger air

compressor that is matched to

your application is recommended.

If the unit shuts down again,

please call the customer service

center for additional assistance.

9. AIR INTAKE FILTER: This

compressor is equipped with an

[email protected]

externally accessible air intake filter

that is designed to clean air coming

into the pump. The filter

element is easily removed for

periodic cleaning. Use compressed

air to blow loose dirt and debris

from the paper filter element and

reinstall. Replace filter element

when necessary.

10. HANDLE: Convenient handle

for easy transport.

OPERATING THE AIR

COMPRESSOR

INITIAL SET-UP/BREAK-IN

PROCEDURE:

Caution: Do not attach air hose, air

tools, or other accessories to the air

outlet until break-in procedure has

been successfully completed.

1. Read and understand the entire

instruction manual, including all

safety warnings before setting up

air compressor.

2. Place air compressor on a flat,

level surface.

3. Turn the pressure regulator

knobs fully clockwise to open

airflow from air outlet port.

NOTE: Be careful not to over

tighten pressure regulator knob

when it “bottoms out” as this may

damage pressure regulator.

4. Turn the power switch to the OFF

position.

5. Plug the power cord directly into

a properly grounded power source

of the correct voltage (see

Grounding instructions).

6. Open the tank drain valve to

allow air to escape preventing air

pressure buildup in the air tank.

7. Turn the compressor ON by

moving the switch to the AUTO/ON

position and run the air

compressor for a period of 20

minutes to break-in the air pump.

8. With the compressor still

running, at the end of the 20-

minute break-in period, close the

tank drain valve. The air

compressor will build air pressure

to the maximum preset pressure

(“cut-out” pressure) and

automatically shut-off.

9. Slowly turn the tank drain valve

to open airflow from drain and

bleed off air from the air tank. The

air compressor will automatically

restart once the pressure in the air

tank drops below the minimum

preset pressure (“cut-in” pressure).

10. Turn the compressor off by

moving the switch to the OFF

position.

11. Release the pressure from the

system. Drain moisture from the air

tank by slowly opening the air tank

drain valve by turning

counterclockwise. Tilt tank to

remove all moisture. Once all the

moisture has drained out, close the

fitting securely.

NOTE: Air tank will not pressurize

while drain valve is open.

12. Disconnect the power cord

from the power outlet.

NOTE: Make sure the power

switch is in the OFF position when

connecting or disconnecting power

cord from electrical outlet.

13. Your new air compressor is

now ready to use.
