Risk of unsafe operation. Compressed air from the unit may
contain wa ter condensation and oil mist. Do not spray un fil tered air at an
item that could be damaged by moisture. Some air tools and accessories may
require filtered air. Read the in struc tions for the air tools and accessories.
How to Start:
1. Set the On/Off switch to "On" and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will stop
when tank pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure.
2. Turn regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure and stop when desired
pressure is reached.
If any unusual noise or vibration is noticed, stop the compressor
immediately and have it checked by a trained service technician.
The compressor is ready for use.

Unit cycles automatically when power is on. When performing
maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air, or
moving parts. Personal injuries can occur. Before performing any maintenance
or repair, disconnect power source from the compressor and bleed off all air
pressure.
NOTE: See Operation section for the location of controls.
TO CHECK SAFETY VALVE
Risk of Bursting. If the safety valve does not work properly,
over-pressurization may occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion.
Risk from Flying Objects. Always wear certified safety
equipment: ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) with side shields.
1. Before starting compressor, pull the ring on the safety valve to make sure
that the safety valve operates freely. If the valve is stuck or does not operate
smoothly, it must be replaced with the same type of valve.
NOTE: See Operation section for the location of controls.
TO DRAIN TANK
Risk of Unsafe Operation. Risk from noise. Air tanks contain
high pressure air. Keep face and other body parts away from outlet of drain.
Use ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) when draining as debris
can be kicked up into face. Use ear protection [(ANSI S12.6 (S3.19)] hearing
protection as air flow noise is loud when draining.
1. Set the On/Off switch to "Off".
2. Turn the regulator knob counter-clockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero.
3. Remove the air tool or accessory.
4. Pull ring on safety valve allowing air to bleed from the tank until tank pressure
is approximately 20 PSI. Release safety valve ring.
