Operating Instructions
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this
manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
Compressor Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.
The work area must not allow access by
children or pets to prevent injury.
2. Locate the Compressor on a flat level surface to
ensure proper pump lubrication and to prevent
damage to the unit. Keep at least 12″ of space
around the unit to allow air circulation.
3. Route the Power Cord from the compressor
to the grounded wall outlet, along a safe path
without creating a tripping hazard or exposing
the power cord to possible damage.
General Operation
1. IMPORTANT: First, turn the Power Switch OFF.
This releases tank pressure and allows the motor
to start freely, without tripping the Circuit Breaker.
2. Close the Drain Valve. (See Draining
Moisture from the Tank on page 15.)
3. Check for oil leaks and check the oil level
(See Checking the Oil on page 8).
4. Close the in-line shutoff valve between
the compressor and the air hose.
5. Plug the Power Cord into a grounded
120VAC electrical outlet.
6. Turn the Power Switch ON.
7. Allow the Air Compressor to build
up 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 Switch is ON, the
operation of the Air Compressor is automatic,
controlled by an internal pressure switch.
The Compressor will turn on automatically when
the air pressure drops to 95 PSI, and will turn off
automatically when the air pressure reaches 125 PSI.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS
INJURY AND DEATH FROM
EXPLOSION:
Do not adjust the internal
pressure switch. Any change to the
automatic pressure levels may cause excess pressure to
accumulate, causing a hazardous situation.
8. Adjust the Pressure Regulator (74) 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
Regulator clockwise to increase the pressure
and counter-clockwise to decrease pressure.
Adjust the pressure gradually, while checking the
Output Pressure Gauge to set the pressure.
9. Make sure the air tool’s throttle or switch is in the
off position. Connect the air tool to the air hose.
10. Open the in-line shutoff valve.
11. Use the air tool as required.
12. After the job is complete, turn the Power Switch OFF.
Note: Turn the switch off before
unplugging the compressor.
13. Unplug the Air Compressor.
14. Close the in-line shutoff valve.
15. Bleed air from the tool then disconnect the tool.
16. Turn the Drain Valve two turns to release
the internal tank pressure and any built-up
moisture. Close the valve after moisture has
drained out. Do not remove the Drain Valve.
17. Clean, then store the Air Compressor indoors.
