following items:
1. Crankcase oil - Make sure oil is at the
correct level by checking the dipstick.
2. Make sure all rags, tools, oil, etc. are away
from the unit.
3. Open the air system to free it of any pressure.
4. Switch the compressor on for a few
revolutions to make sure the rotation is
correct. Correct rotation is clockwise when

Operate the compressor for a few minutes
unloaded (air system open) then allow the
compressor to pump up. Make sure the electrical
pressure switch properly switches off the
compressor according to the setting desired.
175 psi for Two Stage and 100 psi for Single
Stage.
Make sure the pressure in the tank does
not exceed its rating: Single Stage units at
100 psi, Two Stage units at 175 psi.
If the pressure gauge indicates a pressure
that is higher than these maximum
pressures, shut off compressor immediately
and call your distributor.
