OPERATION
Compressor Operation
You do not have to use the maximum operating pressure at
all times because the air tool being used often requires less
pressure. Here are general guidelines for setting air pressure.
1. With air compressor engine running and air tank
pressurized, attach desired air tool or accessory to quick
connect fitting. Use recommended air hose and fitting.
2. Activate air tool, pull Pressure Control knob out, then
turn Pressure Control knob clockwise to increase outlet
pressure (see Figure 12).
3. Observe OUTLET PRESSURE GAUGE and adjust
pressure to recommended setting of accessory tool.
NOTE:You must adjust outlet air pressure while tool is
operating or activated.
4. Push Pressure Control knob in to lock in selected
pressure setting.
5. Up to two air hoses and air tools may be connected to
the air compressor at the same time. Each will receive air
at the same outlet pressure.
Observe these safety precautions when operating air
compressor:
• DO NOT adjust pressure greater than maximum rating of
attachments or inflatables.
Exceeding pressure rating of attachments or
inflatables can cause severe injury and/or property
damage.
WARNING
• DO NOT use compressed air for breathing.
• Always use NIOSH respirator approved for your application
when spraying.
• Read all instructions with respirator so you are certain it will
provide necessary protection against inhaling harmful vapors.
Compressed air is not breathable and can cause
bodily injury.
Some paints or solvents may be harmful if inhaled
or ingested, causing severe nausea, fainting or
poisoning.
WARNING
• DO NOT direct air stream at self or others.
• Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety glasses with side
shields.
Compressed air stream from hose or tank drain
can cause soft tissue damage to exposed skin and
can propel objects leading to severe injury
and / or property damage.
WARNING
• DO NOT operate with protective covers / guards removed or
damaged.
• NEVER place hands or body parts inside of running unit.
• DO NOT wear loose clothing, jewelry or anything that may be
caught in rotating parts.
• Tie up long hair and remove jewelry.
Starter, pulley, flywheel, belt, and other rotating
parts can entangle hands, hair, clothing, or
accessories.
