OWNERS MANUAL
CORRECTION
If there is an excessive
amount of pressure drop when
the accessory is used, adjust
the regulator following the
instructions.
Note: Adjust the regulated
pressure under flow conditions
(while accessory is being
used).
Operate safety valve manually
by pulling on ring. If valve still
leaks, it should be replaced.
Decrease amount of air usage.
Check the accessory air
requirement. If it is higher than
the SCFM or pressure
supplied by your air
compressor, you need a larger
compressor.
Clean or replace air intake
filter. Do not operate the air
compressor in the paint spray
area.
Plug unit into "live" electrical
outlet.
Check and replace if required.
Remove and clean, or replace.
Tighten fittings. (See Air Leaks
section of troubleshooting
guide).
Let motor cool off and reset
overload switch.
Motor will start automatically
when tank pressure drops
below "cut-in" pressure of
pressure switch.
