OPERATING PROCEDURES
9. Turn the "AUTO/O" lever to “AUTO” and allow tank
pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank
pressure reaches “cut-out” pressure.
10. Open the regulator by turning it clockwise. Adjust
the regulator to the correct pressure setting. Your
compressor is ready for use.
11. Always operate the air compressor in well-venti-
lated areas; free of gasoline or other solvent
vapors. Do not operate the compressor near the
spray area.
WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED:
12. Set the “AUTO/O” lever to “O”.
13. Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the
outlet pressure to zero.
14. Remove the air tool or accessory.
15. Open the regulator and allow the air to slowly
bleed from the tank. Close the regulator when
tank pressure is approximately 20 psi.
16. Drain water from air tank.
WATER WILL CONDENSE IN THE AIR TANK. IF
NOT DRAINED, WATER WILL CORRODE AND
WEAKEN THE AIR TANK CAUSING A RISK OF
AIR TANK RUPTURE.
NOTE:
If drain cock valve is plugged, release all air
pressure. The valve can then be removed,
cleaned, then reinstalled.
17. After the water has been drained, close the drain
valve. The air compressor can now be stored.
1. Before attaching air hose or accessories, make
sure the "AUTO/O" lever is set to “O” and the air
regulator is closed.
2. Make sure that nothing is blocking the belt guard
air openings or air filter inlet.
3. Pull the ring on all safety valve to make sure the
valve moves freely and smoothly.
4. Check the oil level; add oil if necessary.
5. Clean or blow off fins or any part of compressor
that collects dust and dirt. Compressor will run
cooler and provide longer service.
6. Before attaching an air hose or accessory make
sure the pressure switch lever is in the "OFF"
position. Close the air regulator outlet by turning it
counterclockwise.
7. Attach hose and accessories.
TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE CREATES A
HAZARDOUS RISK OF BURSTING. CARE-
FULLY FOLLOW STEPS 3 AND 5 BELOW EACH
TIME THE COMPRESSOR IS USED.
Compressed air from the outfit may contain
water condensation. Do not spray unfiltered air
at an item that could be damaged. Some air
operated tools or devices may require filtered
air. Read the instructions for the air tool or
device.
8. Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure
rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator
outletpressure must never exceed the maximum
pressure rating.
