Operating Instructions
Initial Start Up
1. Disconnect tools and/or accessories from the air hose.
2. Open the tank drain valve to allow air to escape preventing air pressure
buildup in the air tank.
3. Check to see that the belt is installed properly with the correct tension.
4. Plug power supply cord into proper power source receptacle. (See
Grounding Instructions)
5. Run the compressor for a minimum or twenty minutes in this no-load
position to lubricate the bearings and piston.
6. Turn off compressor, drain liquid from tanks and close drain valve.
7. The compressor is now ready for use.
Start Up
1. Slowly open tank drain by turning clockwise. Allow any water in tank to
drain out. Close fitting securely.

accessories, and check for damage to the hose.
3. Make sure the power switch is turned “O”(OFF) position.
4. Attach desired tool to the end of the air hose.
5. Turn the switch on the “I”(ON) position.

Storage
1. Disconnect tools and/or accessories from the air hose.
2. Locate drain valve on bottom side of tank.
3. Open drain valve to release remaining pressurized air and moisture
from the air tank. Moisture buildup in the tank is normal with air
compressors, so a small amount of water may come out while draining
the tank. Draining the tank is vital for longevity and safety of your air
compressor.
4. Close valve and store the compressor in a cool, dry place.

3. Remove air hose and other connected accessories.
4. Slowly open air tank drain valve to release remaining pressurized air, and
tilt unit to fully drain accumulated liquid from air tanks. Moisture build-up
in the tank is normal with air compressor, so a small amount of water
may come out while draining the tank. Draining the tank is vital for the
longevity and safely of your air compressor.
