Operating Procedures

Daily Start-Up Procedures
1. Set the On/Off switch to the Off position.
2. Inspect the air compressor, air hose, and any
accessories/tools being used for damage
or obstruction. If any of these mentioned items
are in need of repair/replacement, take the unit to a
qualified service dealer for inspection and repair
using identical replacement parts.
3. Close the drain valve.
4. Connect the air hose to the quick connect socket
on the regulator assembly by inserting the
quick connect plug on the air hose into the
quickconnect socket. The quick connect socket
collar will snap forward and lock the plug into
place providing an air tight seal between the
socket and plug. To release the air hose push the
collar back on the quick connect socket.

CAUTION
When draining the tank, always use ear and eye
protection. Drain the tank in a suitable location;
condensation will be present in most cases of
draining.
WARNING
Water that remains in the tank during storage will
corrode and weaken the air tank which could cause
the tank to rupture. To avoid serious injury, be sure
to drain the tank after each use or daily.
