Air Hose
The air hose attached to your comporessor has an integral
pressure adjusting valve at the working end of the hose. Should
service or replacement be required, make sure that the pressure
adjusting valve is present in the air hose line.
DO NOT REPLACE THE HOSE WITH STAN-
DARD HOSE THAT IS NOT EQUIPPED WITH
THE PRESSURE ADJUSTING VALVE. THE
APPROPRIATE HOSE ASSEMBLY FOR YOUR
COMPRESSOR IS AVAILABLE AT SEARS.
Do not allow hose to become kinked or
pinched at any time. This is important to
avoid damage to your compressor and to
maintain pressure adjusting valve control.

Check the manufacturer's maximum pressure rating for the
air tool, accessory or vehicle tire being used. The air
compressor outlet pressure must never exceed the maxi-
mum pressure rating.
. Slowly increase the pressure setting of the adjustable
pressure valve. You should be able to hear and feel air
pressure being relieved by the adjustable pressure valve. If
pressure is not being relieved, turn the air compressor off
immediately. The pressure valve must be replaced.
TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE COULD CAUSE AN
AIR TOOL OR VEHICLE TIRE TO RUPTURE OR
EXPLODE. CAREFULLY FOLLOW STEPS 5
AND 6 EACH TIME YOU USE YOUR COMPRES-
SOR.
