2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
3. Open the drain valve fully to permit air to escape and prevent air pressure build
up in the air tank during the break-in period.
4. Move the pressure switch lever to "ON/AUTO". The compressor will start.
5. Run the compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure the drain valve is open and there
is minimal air pressure build-up in tank.
6. After 15 minutes, close the drain valve.
7. The air receiver will fill to cut-out pressure and the motor will stop. The com-
pressor is now ready for use.

Daily Start-Up Checklist

1. Make sure the ON/AUTO lever is set to "OFF" and the air regulator is closed.
NOTE: Your unit could be damaged if the pressure swich lever is in the ON/
AUTO position.
2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
3. Attach hose and accessories. See the Portable "Quadraport" Control Panel
paragraph on page 9.
RISK OF BURSTING. CHECK THE MANUFACTURER'S MAXIMUM
PRESSURE RATING FOR AIR TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES. THE
REGULATOR OUTLET PRESSURE MUST NEVER EXCEED THE
MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING.
4. Turn the ON/AUTO lever to "AUTO" and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will
stop when tank pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure.
5. Open the regulator by turning it clockwise. Adjust the regulator to the correct
pressure setting. Your compressor is ready for use.
6. Always operate the air compressor in well-ventilated areas free of gasoline or
other combustible vapors. If the compressor is being used to operate a sprayer
DO NOT use near the spray area.
When you are finished:
7. Set the "ON/AUTO" lever to "OFF".
8. Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the outlet pressure to zero.
9. Remove the air tool or accessory.
TANK CAN CONTAIN 175 PSI OF AIR PRESSURE. ALWAYS
STAND CLEAR WHEN BLEEDING AIR THROUGH SAFETY VALVE.
10.Pull ring on safety valve allowing air to bleed from the tank until tank pressure is
approximately 20 psi. Release safety valve ring.
11.Drain water from air tank by opening drain cock valve on bottom of tank.
DRAINED, WATER WILL CORRODE AND WEAKEN THE AIR TANK
CAUSING A RISK OF AIR TANK RUPTURE.
12.After the water has been drained, close the drain cock or drain valve. The air
compressor can now be stored.
If drain cock valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then
be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.
