3. Ensure air tank is drained, see Draining Air Tank under
Maintenance.
4. Ensure the drain valve 8
5. Ensure safety valve 7 is functioning properly, see
Checking safety Valve under Maintenance.
6. Check pump oil level, see Compressor Pump Oil under
Maintenance.
NOTICE: Do not operate without oil or with
inadequate oil. D WALT is not responsible for
e
compressor failure caused by inadequate oil.
7. Turn regulator knob 4 counterclockwise until fully
closed. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI
(0 kPa).
8. Attach hose and accessories.

WARNING: RISK OF UNSAFE OPERATION. FIRMLY
GRASP HOSE IN HAND WHEN INSTALLING OR
DISCONNECTING TO PREVENT HOSE WHIP.
9. Ensure all covers and labels are in place, legible (for labels)
and securely mounted. Do not use compressor until all
items have been verified.

WARNING: Risk of bursting. 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.
Initial Set-up (Fig. A, C)

WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you read
and understand this instruction manual for safety,
operation and maintenance instructions.
Break-in Procedure
NOTICE: Serious damage may result if the following
break-in instructions are not closely followed.
This procedure is required before the air compressor is put
into service for the first time and when the check valve or a
compressor pump/motor has been replaced.
1. Ensure the On/Off switch
2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit
receptacle. See Voltage and Circuit Protection under
Installation.
3. Open the drain valve (counterclockwise) fully to permit
air to escape and prevent air pressure build up in the air
tank during the break-in period.
4. Move the On/Off switch to the ON position. The
compressor will start.
5. Run the compressor for 20 minutes.
6. After 20 minutes, close the drain valve by turning
clockwise. The tank will fill to cutout pressure and the
motor will stop.
7. Compressed air will be available until it is used or
bled off.
Start-Up (Fig. A, C)
1. Follow Pre-start Checklist under Preparation for Use.
2. Move the On/Off switch to the ON position and allow
tank pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank
pressure reaches cut-out pressure.

is closed.
1 is in the OFF position.
NOTICE: Compressed air from the unit may contain
water condensation and oil mist. Do not spray
unfiltered air at an item that could be damaged by
moisture. Some air operated tools or devices may
require filtered air. Read the instructions for the air tool
or device.
3. Adjust regulator 4 to desired setting. See Regulator
under Features.
Shut-Down (Fig. A, C)
1. Move On/Off switch 1 is in the OFF position. NOTE: If
finished using compressor, follow Steps 2 - 6.
2. Turn regulator knob 4 counterclockwise until fully
closed. Ensure regulated pressure gauge
(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.
Storage and Transporting
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. In order to avoid
damaging the air compressor, do not allow the unit to
be tilted more than 10º when operating.
Transporting
When transporting the compressor in a vehicle, trailer,
etc., ensure that the tank is drained and the unit is secured
and placed on a flat horizontal surface. nOTE: Use
recommended tie down straps when transporting. Use care
when driving so to avoid tipping the unit over in the vehicle.
Damage can occur to the unit or surrounding items if unit
is tipped.
Lifting

CAUTION: Always use two people when lifting and lift
from the recommended lift points (M & V).

CAUTION: The handle provided on a unit with wheels
is only intended for the purpose of pushing or pulling
the product.
Moving (Fig. A)

CAUTION: The wheels and handle do not provide
adequate clearance, stability, or support for pulling
the unit up and down stairs or steps. The unit must be
lifted or pushed up a ramp.
1. Grasp Handle and tilt compressor so unit can be
13
rolled on the tires.
