2. Check the air compressor visually for any damage or
obstruction.
3. Close the drain valve.
4. Plug the power cord into the proper receptacle.
5. Turn the On/Off switch to the On position and the
compressor should start and build air pressure in the
tank to cut-out pressure and then shut off automatically.
6. Adjust the regulator to a PSI setting that is recommended
for your application.

Daily Shut-Down Procedures
1. Set the On/Off switch to the Off position.
2. Unplug the power cord from the receptacle.
3. Set the outlet pressure to zero on the regulator.
4. Remove any air tools or accessories.
When draining the tank, always use ear and eye protection.
Drain the tank in a suitable location; condensation will be
present in most cases of draining.
5. Open the drain valve allowing air to bleed from the tank.
After all of the air has bled from the tank, close the drain
valve to prevent debris buildup in the valve.
Water that remains in the tank during storage will corrode
and weaken the air tank which could cause the tank to
rupture. Please be sure to drain the tank after each use or
daily.
Maintenance
The air compressor should be turned
off and unplugged from the power
source before any maintenance is performed as well as the
air bled from the tank and the unit allowed time to cool.
Personal injuries could occur from moving parts, electrical
sources, compressed air, moving parts, or hot surfaces.
To ensure efficient operation and longer
life of the air compressor unit, a routine
maintenance schedule should be followed. The following
schedule is geared toward a consumer whose
compressor is used in a normal working environment on a
daily basis. Air compressors used in an extremely dirty
and/or hostile environment will require a greater frequency
of all maintenance checks.
Routine Maintenance Schedule
Daily/Each Use
1. Turn the unit off and unplug the power cord from the
receptacle.
2. Check the air compressor for any visual damage or
obstructions.
3. Inspect the air intake vents.
4. Manually check the safety valve to make sure of proper
operation.
5. Drain any condensation from the air tank after use.
6. Always check for any unusual noise and/or vibration.
Any service procedure not covered in the above mentioned
maintenance schedule should be performed by authorized
service personnel.
