STARTUP

1. Before each startup, make sure

the power switch is in the OFF

position.

2. Place the air compressor on a

flat, level surface.

3. Release pressure from the

system. Drain moisture from the

air tank by slowly opening the air

tank drain valve by turning

counterclockwise. Once all the

moisture has drained out, close

the fitting securely.

NOTE: Air tank will not pressurize

while the drain valve is open.

4. Turn the pressure regulator

knob fully counterclockwise to

close airflow from air outlet port.

5. Attach air hose and

accessories.

WARNING: 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.

6. Before connecting the

compressor to the grounded

outlet, check for broken

components and accessories, and

check for damage to the hose.

7. Plug power cord direcly into a

properly grounded power source

of the correct voltage (see

grounding instructions).

8. Turn the compressor ON by

moving the switch to the

AUTO/ON position and allow tank

pressure to build. Once the air

pressure reaches the maximum

preset pressure (“cut-out” pressure)

it will automatically shut off.

9. Slowly turn the pressure

regulator knob clockwise to open

airflow from air outlet port until

desired output pressure is reached.

NOTE: The air compressor will

automatically restart once the

pressure in the air tank drops below

the minimum preset pressure (“cut-

in” pressure).

MAINTENANCE & CLEANING

WARNING: Disconnect air

compressor from the power

source and bleed off all air

pressure before attempting any

maintenance or repair.

SHUTDOWN & STORAGE

NOTE: NEVER stop the air

compressor by unplugging it from

the power outlet as this may result

in damage to the compressor.

1. Turn the switch to the OFF

position.

2. Disconnect the power cord from

the power outlet. Disconnect the

power cord from the power outlet by

grabbing the plug (not the cord).

Loop around electric cord holder for

storage.

3. Turn the pressure regulator knob

fully counterclockwise to close

airflow from air outlet port. Check

the outlet pressure gauge to ensure

that it reads 0 PSI.

4. Remove the air hose and any air

accessories.

5. 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.

6. Allow the compressor to cool

down.

7. Wipe the air compressor clean

and store it in a clean, dry, and

non-freezing location.

WHEN PERFORMING ANY

MAINTENANCE OR SERVICE:

1. The air compressor must be

turned off.

2. Disconnect compressor from

the power source.

3. Open tank drain to bleed off

all air pressure before

attempting any maintenance or

repair.

4. Allow compressor to fully cool

before attempting any

maintenance or repair. Check

the air compressor frequently

for any visible problems and

follow maintenance procedures

each time the compressor is

used.
