Operating Your Air Compressor

Moisture in Compressed Air

Moisture in compressed air will form into
droplets as it comes from an air com-
pressor pump. When humidity is high or
when a compressor is in continuous use
for an extended period of time, this mois-
ture will collect in the tank. When using a
paint spray or sandblast gun, this water
will be carried from the tank through the
hose, and out of the gun as droplets
mixed with the spray material.
Operating Your Air Compressor
Make sure the tank drain valve is closed,
the regulator knob is turned fully counter-
clockwise, and the On/Off switch is in the
OFF position.
Plug compressor into a dedicated 15
Amp (minimum) circuit.
Turn On/Off switch to the ON position.
The compressor will now start building
pressure.
After compressor reaches cut-off pres-
sure, install a hose (with the desired air
tool attached) into the outlet fitting.

For Trouble-Free Operation

1. Read instructions: Carefully read
through this operator's manual
BEFORE OPERATING the new air
compressor. It contains information
about operation and maintenance of
the unit.
2. Drain tank daily: Depressurize system
prior to draining tank. Open tank
drain valve and drain moisture from
tank. This helps prevent tank corro-
sion and keeps oil and moisture out
of the compressed air system. Be

IMPORTANT: This condensation will
cause water spots in a paint job, espe-
cially when spraying other than water
based paints. If sandblasting, it will
cause the sand to cake and clog the gun,
rendering it ineffective.
A filter in the air line, located as near to
the gun as possible, will help eliminate
this moisture.
Adjust the regulator knob to the desired
pressure.
WARNING:
!
Do not over-pressurize any air
tool. Consult air tool instruc-
tions for proper air tool pres-
sure.
The compressor is now ready to operate.
sure to close tank drain valve tightly
before operating compressor.
3. Change air filter: Never run compres-
sor without an air filter nor with a
clogged air filter. Replace with a new
filter when the element is dirty.
