Plug the power supply cord into a power supply socket. Start the air compressor by turning the power switch to the ON position. The pressure gauge reading will slowly rise as pressure increases inside the air tank. When the gauge reading reaches 120 PSI - 125 PSI, the pressure switch will automatically turn the power off.
AIR COMPRESSOR MAINTENANCE Draining the Air Tank Pressure Switch The frequency at which you should drain the air tank depends on the environmental conditions and the amount of operating time logged. The average draining frequency is every 1 to 2 days. The pressure switch is factory pre-set to shut off at between 120 - 125 PSI and to re-start at between 90-95 PSI 1. Place the air compressor above a container capable of holding water. 2.
