To start the air compressor:
1. Make sure the compressor switch is
in the OFF position (knob with red
cap above pressure gauges shown

connecting the power supply.
Figure 3. ON/OFF button.
Check the pressure gauge to see that the
tank pressure climbs to approximately 100-
115 PSI or around 8 BAR, then automati-
cally turns off.
Note—If the compressor does not auto-
matically kick off, flip the ON/OFF switch to
OFF before pressure gets too high. See
the Pressure Regulator sub-section.
Operating this equipment has the
potential for flying debris to cause
eye injury. Always wear safety glass-
es or goggles when operating equip-
ment. Everyday glasses or reading
glasses only have impact resistant
lenses, they are not safety glasses.
Be certain the safety glasses you
wear meet the appropriate standards
of the American National Standards
Institute (ANSI).
2. Close the drain valve, shown in
Figure 4, so the tank can build up
pressure.
3. Double check the oil level to make
sure it is at the proper height.
4. Connect the compressor to the
power supply.
5. Pull the switch up to the ON position
to start compressor.
