Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the
DRAIN
VALVE
air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of
each use.
Check Valve: When the air compressor is operating, the
check valve is "open", allowing compressed air to enter
the air tank. When the air compressor reaches "cut-out"
pressure, the check valve "closes", allowing air pressure

VALVE
to remain inside the air tank.
Motor Overload Protector (not shown): The motor
has an automatic reset thermal overload protector.
If the motor overheats for any reason, the overload
protector will shut off the motor. The motor must
be allowed to cool down before restarting. The
compressor will automatically restart after the motor
cools.
HOW TO USE YOUR UNIT
How to Stop:
1. Set the On/Off switch to "Off".
Before Starting
Do not operate this unit until you read and understand this
instruction manual for safety, operation and maintenance instructions.
Break-in Procedure
Risk of Unsafe Operation. Serious damage may result if the
following break-in instructions are not closely followed.
This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into service and when
the check valve or a complete compressor pump has been replaced.
1. Make sure the On/Off switch is in the "Off" position.
2.
Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
(Refer to Voltage
and Circuit Protection paragraph in the Installation section of this manual.)
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 "On" position. The compressor will start.
5. Run the compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure the drain valve is open and
there is minimal air pressure build-up in tank.
6. After 15 minutes, close the drain valve by turning clockwise. The air receiver
will fill to "cut-out" pressure and the motor will stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.
Before Each Start-Up:
1. Set the On/Off switch to "Off".
2. Turn the regulator knob counter-clockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero.
3. Attach hose and accessories.
Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose in hand when
installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
Risk of unsafe operation. Do not use damaged or worn
accessories.
NOTE: The hose or accessory will 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.
