OPERATION
PRE-START CHECKLIST:
WARNING: Risk of bodily injury. NEVER attempt to open the drain valve when
more than
10 PSI
of air pressure is in the air tank!
2. Make sure the air compressor Motor Switch is in the “OFF” position.
3. Make sure all safety valves are working correctly.
4. Make sure all guards and covers are in place and securely mounted.
START-UP:
2. Plug the power cord into the grounded outlet.
3. Move the lever on the pressure switch box to the “ON” position.
5. Set pressure by adjusting the pressure regulator knob 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:
2. Drain air from the air tank by releasing air with an attached air tool or by pulling on the safety relief valve ring.
3. Once pressure in the air tanks register under 10 PSI, open the drain valve under each air tank to drain any
moisture.
4. Allow the air compressor to cool down.
5. Wipe air compressor clean and store in a safe, non-freezing area.
MAINTENANCE
Read the instruction manual before performing maintenance. The following procedures must be performed when
stopping the air compressor for maintenance or service.
1. Turn off the air compressor.
WARNING: Never assume the air compressor is safe to work on just because it is not
operating. It could restart at any time!
2. Disconnect cord from main power supply.
3. Open all drains.
4. Wait for the air compressor to cool before starting service.

1. Remove any moisture in the air compressor tank. Remove excessive pressure by pulling on the safety relief
valve ring or with an air tool, then open the air tank drain valve in the bottom of the air tank. Close tightly
when drained.
1. Ensure the lever on the pressure switch box is in the “OFF” position.
4. This will allow the air compressor to “START” building up pressure in the air tanks and “STOP” when correct
pressure is achieved. When pressure drops with usage, the air compressor will “START” building up pressure
again.
1. To stop the air compressor, move the lever on the pressure switch box to the "OFF" position. NEVER stop
the air compressor by unplugging it from the power source. This could result in risk of electrocution.
