REGULATOR
The regulator knob (E) controls the air pressure coming from the air
tank.
To Adjust Regulator:
Turn knob clockwise to increase regulated pressure and
counterclockwise to decrease regulated pressure.
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.
AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP
The pump compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not available
until the compressor has raised the air tank pressure above that
required at the air outlet.
MOTOR OVERLOAD PROTECTOR
The motor has a thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for
any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor
must be allowed to cool down before restarting. To restart:
1. Set the Auto/Off switch to OFF (O) and
unplug unit.
2. Allow the motor to cool.
3. Depress the red reset button (N) on the
motor.
4. Plug the power cord into the correct
branch circuit receptacle.
5. Set the Auto/Off switch to AUTO (-).
INSTALLATION
Assembly (Fig. 1)
Unpack the air compressor. Inspect the unit for damage. If the
unit has been damaged in transit, contact the carrier and
complete a damage claim. Do this immediately because there are
time limitations to damage claims.
The carton should contain:
•
•
Check the compressor's serial label to ensure that you have
received the model ordered, and that it has the required pressure
rating for its intended use.
INSTALLING HOSES
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 psi.
2. Apply sealant tape to hose threads.
3. Assemble hose to air outlet (F). IMPORTANT: Do not assemble
splitters directly to the air outlet (F).
NOTE: Assembling quick connect bodies (L) to air outlet (F)
N
and quick connect plugs to hose ends make connecting and
disconnecting hoses simple and easy. Quick connect bodies and
plugs are available for purchase from your local dealer or authorized
service center.
DISCONNECTING HOSES
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 psi.
