Starting the compressor

WARNING: Risk of bursting. If any unusual noise or
vibration is noticed, stop the air compressor immediately
and have it checked by a trained service technician.
NOTE: When using the regulator and other accessories,
refer to the manufacturer's instructions.
□
Plug the power cord into a proper receptacle.
□
Turn the AUTO ( I ) / OFF ( O ) switch (1) to the
auto position, and allow the tank pressure
to build. The motor will stop when the tank
pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure.
□
Adjust the regulator (2) to a PSI setting that
is needed for your application - be sure it
is within the safety standards required to
perform the task.

Checking the safety valve

DANGER: Do not tamper with the safety valve. Items
loosened from this device could fly up and hit you. Failure
to heed this warning could result in death or serious
personal injury. The safety valve automatically releases air
when the receiver pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
Check the valve before each day of use by pulling the ring
by hand.
WARNING: If air leaks after releasing the safety valve
ring or if the valve is stuck, do not use the air compressor
until the safety valve has been replaced. Using the air
compressor in this condition could result in serious
personal injury.
□
Set the AUTO ( I ) / OFF ( O ) switch (1) to the
on position, and wait for the tank to fill. The
compressor automatically shuts off when the
pressure reaches the preset maximum.
□
Set the AUTO ( I ) / OFF ( O ) switch (1) to the
off position.
□
Pull the ring on the safety valve (2) for 20
seconds to release the air.
□
Release the ring. Air stops escaping at
about 20 psi. If air continues to escape after
releasing the safety valve ring, discontinue
use and seek service before using the air
compressor again.
