OPERATION

PREPARING FOR START UP
WARNING:
Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly
grasp the air hose in hand when
installing or disconnecting to
prevent hose whip.
WARNING:
Risk of bursting. Too much air
pressure causes a hazardous risk
of bursting. Check the manufac-
tures maximum pressure rating for
air tools and accessories. The
regulator outlet pressure must
never exceed the maximum
pressure rating.
WARNING:
Risk of unsafe operation.
Compressed air from the unit may
contain water condensation and oil
mist. Do not spray unfiltered air at
an item that could be damaged by
moisture. Some air tools and
accessories may require filtered
air. Read the instructions for the
air tools and accessories.
1. Place the ON/OFF Switch (A) to the
OFF position.

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.
1.
Plug the power cord into a proper
receptacle.
2. Turn the ON/OFF Switch (A) to the ON
position, and allow the tank pressure to
build. The motor will stop when the tank
pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure.
3.
Adjust the regulator knob (C) to a psi
setting that is needed for your applica-
tion- be sure it is within the safety
standards required to perform the task.
CHECKING THE SAFETY VALVE
WARNING:
Do not tamper with the safety valve(D).
Items loosened from this device
could fly up and hit you. Failure to
heed this warning could result in
death or serious injury. The safety
valve automatically releases air when
the receiver pressure exceeds the
preset maximum. Check the valve
before each day of use by puling 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.
