6. AFTER the Compressor builds up
enough pressure and shuts off, adjust
the Regulator Knob so that the air output
is enough to properly power the tool,
but the output will not exceed the tool’s
maximum air pressure at any time.
Turn the knob clockwise to increase
the pressure and counter-clockwise to
decrease pressure. Adjust the pressure
gradually, while checking the air output
gauge to set the pressure.
Note: At the beginning of the day’s rst use of
the Air Compressor, check for air leaks
by applying soapy water to connections
while the Air Compressor is pumping
and after pressure cut-out. Look for air
bubbles. If air bubbles are present at
connections, tighten connections. Do
not use the air compressor unless all
connections are air tight, the extra air
leaking out will cause the compressor to
operate too often, increasing wear on the
compressor.
Note: As long as the Power Switch (133) is
ON, the operation of the Air Compressor
is automatic, controlled by an internal
pressure switch. The Compressor will
turn on automatically when the air
pressure drops to 120 PSI, and will turn
off automatically when the air pressure
reaches 150 PSI. IMPORTANT: The
internal pressure switch is not user
adjustable. Do not make changes
to the air pressure settings of the
internal pressure switch. Any change
to the automatic pressure levels may
cause excess pressure to accumulate,
causing a hazardous situation and
voiding the warranty.
Close the in-line Shutoff Valve between 7.
the compressor and the air hose.
Make sure the air tool’s throttle or switch 8.
is in the off position.
Connect the air tool to the air hose.9.
Open the in-line Shutoff Valve.10.
Note: Allow adequate time when lling tires.
The larger the tire, the more time to ll is
needed.
Note: This product is designed for ination,
stapling, brad nailing and air brushing.
