Operate the air compressor in a dry, clean, cool, well ventilated area. Clean or blow off dust or dirt that collects on the air compressor. A clean
air compressor runs cooler and provides longer service. The ventilation openings on your air compressor are necessary to maintain proper
operating temperature. Do not place rags or other containers on or near these openings.

Since the air tank pressure is usually greater than that which is needed, a regulator is employed to control the air pressure ahead of any
individual driven device. Seperate air transformers which combine the function of air
regulation, moisture and dirt removal should be used where applicable.
P P r r e e p p a a r r a a t t i i o o n n f f o o r r u u s s e e : :
1. Before attaching air hose or accessories, make sure the On/Off switch is set to "OFF"
and the air regulator is closed (completely turned counterclockwise).
2. Attach the 1/4" male fitting (A) Fig.7 to one end of coil hose (B), then connect the
male fitting (A) into the quick connect outlet (C), then attach the 1/4" female quick
connect (D) to the other end of the coil hose. Attach optional air tool or supplied
accessories. To prevent air leaks, it is recommended to install Teflon Tape (not
supplied) on the threads at both ends of the coil hose.
W W A A R R N N I I N N G G : Too much air pressure causes a hazardous 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 of the tool being used.
3. Turn the switch to the On position and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure.
4. Open the regulator by turning it clockwise. Adjust the regulator to the correct pressure setting. The compressor is ready for use.
After Use:
1. Set the switch to Off.
2. Turn the regulator counterclockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero.
3. Disconnect the air tool or accessory.
4. Pull ring on safety valve (A) Fig. 6, allowing air to bleed from the tank until tank pressure is approximately 20 psi. Release safety valve ring.
5. Drain water from air tank. Turn drain valve (A) Fig. 5, counterclockwise to open.

NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, pull ring on safety valve (A) Fig. 6, and hold until all air pressure has been released. The drain valve can then
be removed, cleaned, and reinstalled.
6. After the water has been completely drained, turn drain valve to close. The air compressor can now be stored.
