OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
START-UP:
1. Read safety warnings before performing operation.
2. Ensure the Motor/Pressure Switch is in the "OFF" position.
3. Plug the Power Cord into a grounded outlet.
4. Pull the Motor/Pressure Switch up to the "ON" position. This will allow the
air compressor to start building up pressure in the air tanks. You will
hear an air leak for the first 20-50 seconds until the easy start valve closes.
This will stop when correct pressure is achieved. When pressure drops
with usage, the air compressor will start building up pressure again.
5. Set pressure by adjusting the Pressure Regulator counterclockwise for
less pressure and clockwise for more pressure.
6. If you notice any unusual noise or vibration, stop the air compressor and
refer to "Troubleshooting".
SHUTDOWN:
1. To stop the air compressor, move the Motor/Pressure Switch to the "OFF"
position. NEVER stop the air compressor by unplugging it from the
power source. This could result in risk of electrocution.
2. Drain air from the air tanks by releasing air with an attached air tool or
by pulling on the Safety Relief Valve.
3. Once the Air Tank Pressure Gauge registers under 10 pounds, open the
Air Tank Drain Valve under each air tank to drain any moisture.
4. Allow the air compressor to cool down.
5. Wipe the air compressor clean and store in a safe, non-freezing area.
MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
Read the instruction manual before performing maintenance. The follow-
ing procedures must be performed when stopping the air compressor for
maintenance or service.
1. Turn off air compressor.
2. Disconnect Power Cord from main power supply.
3. Open all drains.
4. Wait for the air compressor to cool before starting service.
WARNING
RISK OF BODILY INJURY!
Never assume the air
compressor is safe to work
on just because it is not
operating. It could restart
at any time!
*The pump oil must be changed after the first 50 hours of operation and
every 200 hours or 3 months, whichever comes first.
Every two years, an Authorized Service Technician should check the check
valve, intake valves and delivery valves.
