OPERATION
NOTE: the compressor will not turn ON if the tank pressure is
above the cut-in pressure. Once the tank pressure drops below
the cut-in pressure, the compressor will automatically start up,
and then automatically shut down once the cut-out pressure is
reached.
NOTE: make sure this switch is set to OFF before unplugging,
plugging in, or storing the compressor.
7. Allow the compressor to reach the desired pressure on the tank pressure gauge (Fig. 6 - 1) before turning off
the compressor. If left on, the compressor will reach its maximum pressure of 150 PSIG and turn off automatically.
Once the tank pressure drops to the preset cut-in pressure value, the compressor will automatically turn back on
until it reaches its maximum tank pressure again. Check the tank pressure gauge (Fig. 6 - 1). DO NOT ALLOW THE
COMPRESSOR TO FILL UP TO MORE THAN 150 PSIG.
8. Turn the air pressure regulator knob (Fig. 6 - 2) to the desired position in order to control the air output from the
compressor. The regulated air pressure gauge (Fig. 6 - 3) will show you the current air pressure 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 pressure higher than the rated pressure of an attached tool creates the possibility of damaging
or, in worse case scenarios, bursting said pneumatic tool. Using a pressure that is too low for a tool can result in
misfires and improper functionality.
WARNING! To prevent burns or other injuries, DO NOT
touch the compressor while it is running. Allow it to cool
before handling or servicing. Keep children away from the
compressor at all times.

SHUTTING DOWN THE COMPRESSOR
1. Turn the pressure switch to the OFF position. Then unplug the
power cord.
2. Reduce pressure in the tank through the outlet hose or by
pulling the relief valve ring (Fig. 7 - 1).
3. Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve (counter-
clockwise) on the bottom of the tank.
WARNING! Wear safety goggles when opening drain
valve. Escaping air and moisture may propel debris that may
cause eye injury.
