DEFINITION OF TERMS
ON / OFF Switch ( I / O ) - Push switch
to the ON ( I ) position to turn
compressor on. Push switch to the OFF (
O ) position to turn compressor off. This
switch should be in the OFF ( O )
position when connecting /
disconnecting power cord from
electrical outlet or when changing tools.
Pressure Switch (located internally)-
When the compressor is turned ON,
this switch will shut compressor off
automatically when tank pressure
reaches maximum shut-off / cut-out
pressure. If compressor remains on and
air is depleted from tank, this switch
will allow compressor to automatically
restart at the restart / cut-in pressure.
Pressure Gauge - This gauge reads air
pressure in pounds per square inch
(psi) in the compressor tank. Make sure
this gauge reads ZERO BEFORE
changing air tools or disconnecting
hose from outlet.
ASME Safety Valve - This valve
automatically releases air if the tank
pressure exceeds the preset maximum.
Handle - Designed to move the
compressor.
Drain Valve - This valve is located on
the bottom of the tank. Use this valve
to drain moisture from the tank daily
to reduce the risk of corrosion.

BEFORE FIRST STARTUP
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
(Complete this procedure before using
compressor for the first time. Once
completed, it is not necessary to
r e p e a t . )
1. Do not attach a hose or any other
fitting to the compressor air outlet.
2. Turn on/off switch to OFF position.
3. Plug in power cord.
4. Turn on/off switch to ON position.
Allow compressor to run for 5
minutes.
5. Turn on/off switch to OFF position.
6. Unplug power cord.
BEFORE EACH STARTUP
OPERATING PROCEDURE
1. Connect air hose to open port
located below pressure gauge.
2. Attach the necessary fitting or tool
to open end of air hose.
3. Turn on/off switch to OFF ( O )
position.
4. Plug in power cord.
5a. If using inflation needles/nozzles:
Attach air hose with inflation
fitting to the object you are going
to inflate. While holding inflation
fitting firmly in place, turn on/off
switch to ON position. Allow
compressor to inflate the object.
Turn off compressor and remove
inflation fitting.
5b.If using tire chuck or tool: Once
chuck or tool is attached to air
hose, turn on/off switch to ON
position and allow compressor to
run until it automatically shuts off.
When using tire chuck to inflate
tires, observe gauge reading on
compressor and periodically check
tire pressure with a separate tire
gauge to prevent overinflation.
6 . 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.
7 . Turn switch to OFF ( O ) position,
unplug power cord and drain tank of
air when finished using compressor.
M a i n t e n a n c e
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 service
representative.
