shall wear CE approved and impact-resistant eye
protection with side shields when working with the
compressor and/or opening the drain valve.
• Do not spray any part of the body.
• Shock risk could result in death or serious injury.
Only connect the compressor to a properly ground-
ed receptacle.
• Dust can be created when cutting, sanding,
drilling or grinding materials such as wood,
paint, metal, concrete, cement, or other
masonry. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals, work in a well ventilated area and AL-
WAYS wear approved safety equipment.
• KEEP CHILDREN AWAY FROM THE COMPRES-
SOR AT ALL TIMES.
!
CAUTION:
• High pressure air containing water condensation
could result in minor or moderate injury. Do not
spray at any person.
NOTICE:
• If the pump has been transported or turned upside
down (even partially), allow the pump to sit in a nor-
mal, upright position for approximately 10 minutes
before starting.

Assembly instructions

• Unpack the compressor. Inspect the compressor
for damages. If the compressor has been damaged,
contact your TJEP dealer immediately.
• Check the air compressor's identification label to ensure
that you have purchased the intended model and that it
has the required pressure rating for its intended use.
• The carton should contain the compressor and
these safety and operation instructions.

Positioning of the air compressor

1. Position the air compressor (1) near an electrical
outlet (2) (Fig. B).
2. The compressor must be at least 31 cm from any
wall (3) or obstruction, in a clean, well-ventilated area
to ensure sufficient air flow and cooling (Fig. B).
3. Place the compressor on the floor or a hard, level
surface.The compressor must be level to ensure prop-
er drainage of the moisture in the tank.

Connect air hose to compressor

1. Connect the air hose (1) to the compressor's quick
coupler (2) (Fig. C).

Operating instructions

Break in the pump

1. Set the pressure switch (1) to the OFF position (Fig. D).
2. Open tank drain valve (1) by turning it counter-clock-
wise to permit the air to escape and prevent air
pressure build-up in the air tank during the break-in
period (Fig. E).
12
3. Turn the pressure knob (1) clockwise until it stops
(Fig. F).
4. Plug in the power cord
∙ Use a dedicated circuit. The compressor will
use the full capacity of a typical 10A household
circuit. If any other electrical devices are drawing
from the compressor's circuit, the compressor
may fail to start or an overload circuit can result
in sluggish starting that causes the motor over-
load protection system or circuit breaker to trip,
especially in cold conditions.
∙ Disconnect the power cord only after break-in
process has been completed, otherwise the
motor might get damaged.
5. Set the pressure switch (1) to the ON position (Fig.
D). The compressor will start. Run the compressor for
30 minutes. If it fails, turn it off immediately and contact
your local TJEP-dealer.
Please note that breaking-in the unit is only required
prior to first use.
6. After 30 minutes, turn off the pressure switch.
7. Close the tank drain valve (1) by turning it clockwise
(Fig. E).
8. Set the pressure switch to the ON position. (Fig. D)
The air receiver will fill to "cut-out" pressure and then
the compressor's motor will stop. The compressor is
now ready for use.

Before each start-up

1. Set the pressure switch (1) to the OFF position (Fig.
D).
2. Turn the pressure regulator knob (1) counterclock-
wise until it stops (Fig. F).
3. Attach hose and accessories (Fig. C).

How to start

1. Close the tank drain valve (1) (Fig. I)
2. Plug-in the power cord (2) (Fi. I)
3. Set the pressure switch to the ON position and allow
the tank pressure to build (Fig. D). Motor will stop
when tank pressure reaches cut-out pressure.
4. Turn the air pressure regulator knob clockwise until
desired pressure is reached (Fig. F).
5. The compressor is ready for use.

How to shut down

1. Set the pressure switch (1) to the OFF position
(Fig. D).
2. Unplug the power cord (2) (Fig. I).
3. Set the tank drain valve (1) to ON to ensure the tank
is drained (Fig E).
