to build. Motor will stop when tank pressure reaches "cut-out"
pressure.
2. Turn the regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure.
IMPORTANT: When using a regulator and other accessories refer
to the manufacturers instructions.
WARNING: Risk of bursting. If any unusual noise or vibration
is noticed, stop the compressor immediately and have it checked
by a trained service technician.
The compressor is ready for use.
Shut-down
1. Move Auto/Off switch to the "Off (O)" position.
NOTE: If finished using compressor, follow Steps 2 - 7.
2. Turn the regulator knob counterclockwise until fully closed. Ensure
regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
3. Remove hose and accessory.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose in
hand when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
4. Drain the air tank, see Draining Air Tank under MAINTENANCE.
Ensure air tank pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
WARNING: Risk of bursting. Drain air tank daily. Water will
condense in air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and
weaken the air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.
5. Allow the compressor to cool down.
6. Wipe air compressor clean and store in a safe, non-freezing area.
7. Unplug air compressor and wrap the power cord loosely around
the handle.
