CAUTION: Do not attach air tool accessories or tools to open end of hose until
start up has been completed and unit checks OK.
1. Make sure the Off/Auto-On switch is in the "Off" position.
2. Turn the regulator knob counterclockwise until it stops.
3. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.

BeFore eACH sTArT-uP:
1. Move Off/Auto-On switch to "Off" and close the air regulator.
2. Turn the regulator knob counterclockwise until it stops.

regulator outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.
HoW To sTArT:
1. Move the Off/Auto-on switch to "Auto-On" (I) and allow tank pressure to build.
2. Turn the regulator knob clockwise until desired pressure is reached.
NOTE: To use the suggested pressure reading on the pressure gauge, wait until
the indicator aligns with the desired suggested pressure reading number.
