OPERATION (C0NTINUED)
Before Each Start-up
Operating Procedure
1.
Turn regulator knob fully counter clockwise (to the left) to close air flow.
2.
Connect air hose to outlet of regulator.
3.
Turn ON/OFF Switch to OFF position.
4.
Plug in power cord.
5.
Turn ON/OFF Switch to ON position and let compressor run until it reaches automatic shutoff pressure.
6.
Attach tire chuck or tool to end of hose.
7.
Adjust regulator to proper pressure for tool or tire. Operate tool per instructions.
As air is depleted from the tank by use of a tire chuck, tool, etc., the compressor will restart automatically
at its preset "cut-in" pressure. When a tool is being used continuously, the compressor will cycle on and off
automatically.

service representative.
The compressor should be checked often for any visible problems and the following maintenance
procedures should be performed each time the compressor is used.
ASME Safety Valve
1. Turn the air compressor on and allow the tank
to fill. The compressor will shut off when the
pressure reaches the preset maximum.
2. Turn the air compressor off.
3. Pull the ring on the safety valve to release the
air for several seconds. ALWAYS use your hand
to deflect fast-moving air past your face.
4. Release the ring. Air will stop escaping when the
ring is released at approximately 40 psi - 60 psi.
5. If air leaks after the ring has been released, or if
the valve is stuck and cannotbe actuarted bu the
ring, remove the unit from service. DO NOT use
the air compressor until the safety valve has been replaced. Use of the air compressor in this condition
could result in death or serious bodily injury.
Drain Tank
With compressor shut off and pressure released:
Drain moisture from tanks by opening drain valve
underneath tanks (See Figure 5).
Disconnect power source then release all pressure from the system before attempting to install,
service, relocate or perform any maintenance. Service should be performed by an authorized
WARNING: Wear safety glasses. Check the safety valve by performing the following steps:
Safety valve must be replaced if it cannot be actuated or it leaks air after ring is released.
