escape and prevent air pressure
build up in the air tank during the
break-in period.

"On/Auto" position. The compres-
sor will start.
5. Run the compressor for 15 min-
utes. Make sure the drain valve
is open and there is minimal air

require a quick connect plug if the
air outlet is equipped with a quick
connect socket.
Risk of Bursting.
Too much air
pressure causes a hazardous risk of
bursting. Check the manufacturer’s
maximum pressure rating for air
tools and accessories. The regulator
outlet pressure must never exceed
the maximum pressure rating.
Risk of unsafe
operation.
Compressed air from the unit may
contain wa ter condensation and

at an item that could be damaged
by moisture. Some air tools and
accessories may require filtered

Valve
The drain
valve is locat-
ed at the base
of the air tank
and is used to
drain condensation at the end of each
use.
Check Valve: When the air compres-
sor is operating, the check valve is
"open", allowing compressed air to
enter the air tank. When the air com-
pressor reaches "cut-out" pressure,
the check valve "closes", allowing air
pressure to remain inside the air tank.
