Air Hose
The air hose attached to your compressor has an integral
pressure adjusting valve at the working end of the hose.
Should service or replacement be required, make sure that
the pressure adjusting valve is present in the air hose line.
It is normal for the adjustable pressure valve to release air
during operation.
Do not modify the plug that has been provided. If it
does not fit the available outlet, the correct outlet
should be installed by a qualified electrician.
If repairing or replacing cord or plug, the grounding
wire must be kept separate from the current-carrying
wires. Never connect the grounding wire to a flat blade
plug terminal. The grounding wire has insulation with
an outer surface that is green - with or without yellow
stripes.
If these grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the compres
sor is properly grounded, have the installation checked
by a qualified electrician.
Do not allow hose to become kinked or pinched
at any time. This is important to avoid damage
to your compressor and to maintain pressure
adjusting valve control.

Compressed air from the outfit may contain water
condensation. Do not spray unfiltered air at an item
that could be damaged by moisture. Some air
operated tools or devices may require filtered air.
Read the instructions for the air tool or device.
1. Before plugging in the air compressor, set the adjust-
able pressure valve to "10" PSI. Make sure the "ON/
OFF" switch is in the "OFF" position.
2. Connect the air tool or accessory to the air hose.
Tighten securely.
3. Plug the power cord into the grounded outlet.
4. Start the compressor by setting the "ON/OFF" switch
to the "ON" position.
5. Check the manufacturer's maximum pressure rating
for the air tool, accessory or vehicle tire being used.
The air compressor outlet pressure must never exceed
the maximum pressure rating.
6. Slowly increase the pressure setting of the adjustable
pressure valve. You should be able to hear and feel air
pressure being relieved by the adjustable pressure
valve. If pressure is not being relieved, turn the air
compressor off immediately. The pressure valve must
be replaced.
