Turn the Auto-On/Off lever to the On-Auto position and
the compressor will start and build air pressure in the
tank to cut-out pressure and then shut off automatically.
Adjust the regulator to a PSI setting that is needed for
your application and be sure it is within the safety
standards required to perform the task. If using a
pneumatic tool, the manufacturer should have
recommendations in the manual for that particular
tool on operating PSI settings.
The air compressor is now ready for use. The following
inflation and cleaning accessories packaged with this
unit should only be operated at maximum pressure
of 90PSI: blow gun, rubber-tapered nozzle, inflation
needles, adapter, and blow gun adapter.

after each use or daily.
