Operation
DEFINITION OF TERMS
ON/OFF Switch ( I / O ) - Push switch to
the ON ( I ) position to turn compressor
on . Push switch to the OFF ( O ) position
to turn compressor off . This switch
should be in the OFF ( O ) position
when connecting / disconnecting power
cord from electrical outlet or when
changing tools .
Pressure Switch (located internally)-
When the compressor is turned ON,
this switch will shut compressor off
automatically when tank pressure
reaches maximum shut-off / cut-out
pressure . If compressor remains on and
air is depleted from tank, this switch
will allow compressor to automatically
restart at the restart / cut-in pressure .
Regulator - The regulator controls the
amount of air pressure released at the
hose outlet . Turning the regulator knob
clockwise (to the right) will increase air
pressure at the outlet . Turning the knob
counter-clockwise (to the left) will lower
air pressure to the outlet . Turning knob
fully counter-clockwise will shut off flow
of air completely .
Pressure Gauges - There are two
gauges located next to the regulator .
These gauges read air pressure in
pounds per square inch (psi) . The
gauge on the right shows pressure at
the outlet . Make sure this gauge reads
ZERO (by adjusting the regulator)
BEFORE changing air tools or
disconnecting hose from outlet . The
gauge on the left shows pressure in the
tank indicating compressor is building
pressure properly .

ASME Safety valve - This valve
automatically releases air if the tank
pressure exceeds the preset maximum .
Handle - Designed to move the
compressor .
Drain valve - This valve is located on
the bottom of the tank . Use this valve
to drain moisture from the tank daily to
reduce the risk of corrosion .
Motor Protection - If the unit is over
worked, a thermal limiter will shut unit
off . If this happens, switch unit to OFF,
wait 30 minutes to cool, turn ON again
to resume work .
LUBRICATION
This is an oilless product and DOES NOT
require lubrication to operate .
BEFORE FIRST STARTUP BREAK-IN
PROCEDURE
(Complete this procedure before using
compressor for the first time . Once
completed, it is not necessary to repeat .)
1 . Turn regulator knob fully clockwise
(to the right) to open air flow .
2 . Do not attach a hose or any other
fitting to the compressor .
3 . Turn ON/OFF switch to OFF position .
4 . Plug in power cord .
5 . Turn ON/OFF switch to ON position .
Allow compressor to run for 5
minutes .
6 . Turn ON/OFF switch to OFF position .
7 . Unplug power cord .
OPERATING PROCEDURE
1 . Turn switch to OFF ( O ) position and
plug in power cord .
2 . Turn regulator knob
counterclockwise to close air flow .
3 . Turn switch to ON ( I ) position .
4 . Compressor will build to maximum
pressure and shut off .
5 . With hose attached to outlet of
compressor, attach tire chuck or
other tool to open end of hose .
