OPERATION

BREAK-IN PERIOD

Before first use, run the air compressor at zero tank pressure
with the drain valves fully open for 30 minutes.
TURNING THE AIR COMPRESSOR ON/OFF
See Figure 5, page 16.
 With the air compressor plugged in, move the Auto On/Off
switch to the AUTO ON position to power the compressor
on.
 To turn the air compressor off, move the Auto On/Off
switch to the OFF position.
NOTE: When the compressor is in the AUTO ON position,
the air compressor will automatically turn back on when
the designated tank air pressure drops below the preset
pressure limit. It will also shut off again when the cut-off
pressure is reached.
WARNING:
Never exceed the air tool's pressure rating as
recommended by the manufacturer. When using
this air compressor as an inflation device, always
follow the maximum inflation guidelines stated by
the manufacturer of the item being inflated.
WARNING:
Always ensure the switch is in the OFF position
and the regulator pressure gauge reads zero
before changing air tools or disconnecting the hose
from the air outlet. Failure to do so could result in
possible serious personal injury.
USING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
See Figures 6 - 7, pages 16 - 17.
WARNING:
Risk of bursting. Do not adjust pressure regulator
knob to result in output pressure greater than
marked maximum pressure of attachment and/
or the item being inflated. Never use at pressure
greater than 150 psi. Failure to heed this warning
could result in possible serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Air powered tools may require more air consumption
than this air compressor is capable of providing.
Check the tool manual to avoid damage to the tool
or risk of personal injury.
 Ensure Auto On/Off lever is in the OFF position and air
compressor is unplugged.
 Attach air hose following the instructions in Connecting/
Disconnecting Air Hose (hose not provided).
 Attach 1/4 in. NPT quick-connect air fitting to accessory
or tool you intend to use.
 Insert the other end of the quick-connect air fitting to the
quick coupler on the open end of hose.
 Connect the power cord to the power supply.
 Move the Auto On/Off switch to the AUTO ON position.
 Set the amount of air pressure desired using the pressure
regulator knob. Pull the knob out, then turn clockwise to
increase or counterclockwise to decrease the air pressure
through the hose. When the desired pressure is set, push
the knob back in to lock.
NOTE: Always use the minimum amount of pressure
necessary for your application. Using a higher pressure
than needed will drain air from the tank more rapidly and
cause the unit to cycle on more frequently.
 Following all safety precautions in this manual and the
manufacturer's instructions in the air tool manual, you
may now proceed to use your air-powered tool.
NOTE: The air compressor will shut off during an electri-
cal overload. To reset the internal overload switch, unplug
the air compressor and allow the unit to cool.
 When finished, always drain the tank and unplug the
unit. Never leave the unit plugged in and/or running
unattended.

CHECKING THE SAFETY VALVE

See Figures 8, page 17.
DANGER:
Do not attempt to tamper with the safety valve.
Anything loosened from this device could fly up
and hit you. Failure to heed this warning could
result in death or serious personal injury.
The safety valve will automatically release air if the air tank
pressure exceeds the cut-out pressure. The valve should be
checked before each day of use by pulling the ring by hand.
 Turn the air compressor on and allow the tank to fill. The
compressor will shut off when the pressure reaches the
cut-out pressure.
 Turn the air compressor off.
 Pull the ring on the safety valve to release air for three to
five seconds to allow pressurized air to escape. Release
the ring. The safety release valve must reset and hold
pressure before all compressed air is exhausted from the
tank/pressure vessel.
 Any continued loss of air after performing the above steps
indicates a problem with the safety valve. Discontinue
use and seek service before continued use of the air
compressor.
