CONNECTING/DISCONNECTING AIR HOSE
WARNING. Never exceed the air tool's
pressure rating as recommended by the
manufacturer. When using this air
compressor as an inflation device,
always follow the maximum inflation
guidelines stated by the manufacturer of
the item being inflated.
Make sure the air compressor is off and
unplugged.
Rotate pressure regulator knob fully in the
counter-clockwise direction so that the outlet
pressure is at zero (0) psi.
Connect a hose to the compressor using the hose
to compressor quick release connector (Fig.10).
Make sure to push the air fitting fully into the
coupler until the sleeve springs forward to lock in
place.
When using the regulated air output first determine
the working pressure of the accessory by referring
to the accessory manual. Slowly open the air outlet
pressure regulator (Fig.11) at the same time
observing the air outlet pressure gauge until the
pressure gauge reads the minimum pressure for
the accessory.
Fine adjustments to the air pressure can be made
until the accessory is working at its optimum
performance.
When the correct operating air pressure has been
set, the air outlet pressure regulator can be locked
by tightening the locking ring (Fig.12).
Do not exceed the maximum rated air pressure for
the accessory.
NOTE: Always use the minimum amount of
pressure necessary for your application. Using a
higher pressure than needed will drain air from the
tank more rapidly and cause the unit to cycle on
more frequently.
To disconnect an air hose or an air tool:
Confirm that the outlet pressure is at zero (0) psi.
When disconnecting a hose from the quick release
connector, always firmly hold the fitting end of the
hose.
Push back on the release sleeve on the quick
release connector. With a firm grip, pull out the
quick-connect air fitting that is attached to the quick
release connector, Fig.13.
