OPERATION
1. Connect an air hose (not included) to the air line inlet. Make sure the air hose is rated high enough to meet the
max PSI of the compressor.
2. Connect the electrical plug to a power supply. NOTE: the compressor must be at least one foot from any wall or
obstruction in a well-ventilated area in order to maximize proper air flow. Do not cover the compressor.
3. After making sure that the tank drain valve is shut, turn the power switch to the ON position to allow the compres-
sor to automatically start up and shut down depending on the need for air. NOTE: make sure this switch is set to
OFF before unplugging, plugging in, or storing the compressor.
4. Allow the compressor to reach the desired PSI on the tank pressure gauge before turning off the compressor. If
left on, the compressor will automatically reach its maximum PSI of 150 before turning off. Then, the compressor
will automatically turn back on once the tank PSI gets too low until it reaches its max PSI again. DO NOT ALLOW
THE COMPRESSOR TO FILL UP TO MORE THAN 150 PSI.
5. Turn the air pressure regulator to the desired position in order to control the output of air flow from the compres-
sor. The regulated air pressure gauge will show you the current air flow from the air line outlet. Make sure that this
pressure is not higher than the working pressure of any pneumatic tools hooked up to the compressor. Using a pres-
sure higher than the rated pressure of an attached tool creates the possibility of damaging or, in worse case scenarios,
bursting said power tool. Using a pressure that is too low for a tool can result in misfires and improper functionality.
6. To shut off the compressor, turn the power switch to the OFF position before unplugging the power cord.
7. Before storing the compressor, drain the tank by opening tank drain valve on the underside of the compressor.
This will drain the compressor to prevent moisture from collecting and rusting the inside of the tank. Pulling on
the air release valve located next to the tank pressure gauge will quickly empty out the tank. Do not store in cold
climates, as cold climates may create problems with the motor while possibly freezing water condensation.
