Before Each Start-Up
1. Every day check the sight glass (15) to ensure that the
level of oil in the pump is at the required level.
2. Move Auto/Off switch to "OFF (O)".
3. Close the drain valve.
4. Visually inspect air lines and fittings for leaks.
5. Check safety valve. See To Check Safety Valve
under Maintenance.
6. Attach hose and accessories.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp
air hose in hand when installing or disconnecting
to prevent hose whip.
Warning: Risk of unsafe operation. Do not use
damaged or worn accessories.
NOTE: The hose or accessory will require a quick connect
plug if the air outlet is equipped with a quick connect
socket.
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.
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. 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 tools and accessories may require filtered
air. Read the instructions for the air tools and accessories.
How to Start
1. Move the Auto/Off switch to "AUTO (-)" and allow
tank pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank
pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure.
2. When the tank pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure
open the air discharge valve.
IMPORTANT: When using a regulator and other accessories
refer to the manufacturer's 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.
3. The compressor is ready for use.
How to Shut Down
1. Move Auto/Off switch to the "OFF (O)" position.
NOTE: If finished using compressor, follow
steps 2 - 5.
2. Drain the air tank, see Draining Air Tank under
Maintenance. Ensure air tank pressure gauge reads
0 PSI (0 kPa).
3. Remove hose and accessory.
4. Allow the compressor to cool down.
5. Wipe air compressor clean and store in a safe,
non-freezing area.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp
air hose in hand when installing or disconnecting
to prevent hose whip.
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.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and disconnect it from power
source before making any adjustments or
removing/installing attachments or accessories.
An accidental start-up can cause injury.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Unit cycles
automatically when power is on. When performing
maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage
sources, compressed air, or moving parts. Personal
injuries can occur. Before performing any
maintenance or repair, disconnect power source
from the compressor and bleed off all air pressure.
To ensure efficient operation and longer life of the air
compressor outfit, a routine maintenance schedule should be
prepared and followed. The following routine maintenance
schedule is geared to an outfit in a normal working
environment operating on a daily basis. If necessary, the
schedule should be modified to suit the conditions under
which the compressor is used. The modifications will depend
upon the hours of operation and the working environment.
Compressor outfits in an extremely dirty and/or hostile
environment will require a greater frequency of all
maintenance checks.

*To check for air leaks apply a solution of soapy water around
joints. While compressor is pumping to pressure and after
pressure cuts out, look for air bubbles to form.
**the pump oil must be changed after the first 20 hours of
operation. Thereafter, when using full synthetic non-detergent
air compressor oil, change oil every 100 hours of operation or
once a year, whichever comes first.
+Perform more frequent in dusty or humid conditions.
NOTE: See Operation section for the location of controls.
