2.
Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
See Voltage and Circuit Protection under Installation.
3. Open the drain valve (counter-clockwise) fully to permit air to
escape and prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during
the break-in period.
4. Move the On/Off switch to the ON position. The compressor will
start.
5. Run the compressor for 15 minutes.
6. After 15 minutes, close the drain valve by turning clockwise.
