cord is properly wired and in good electrical
condition.
● Maximum length of extension cord should be
50 feet (15 meters). Minimum wire size of
extension cord should be 12 gauge.
Attaching an air hose
Your air compressor is supplied with a 1/4" push-
connect air coupler (g 7). With a factory installed
air coupler, your compressor is ready to accept air
hoses equipped with 1/4" male air connectors (g 4).
Use only air hoses rated for use
with 115 psi air pressure or
higher.
To install an air hose equipped with a 1/4" male
connector (g 6):
1. Simply push the "connector" or "plug" into the
tting (g 7) and it automatically engages.
2. Verify that air hose is securely connected to air
coupler by pulling on the air hose.
Drain Valve
1. Make sure the drainage valve is closed (g
8.0) and not in the open position (g 8.1).

Pressure Switch
2. Check that the pressure switch is pointed up,
in the OFF position (g 9.0).
3. Ensure that the power supply you are going to
use is operating normally.
4. Insert the power supply cord into the power
supply socket.
5. Turn the pressure switch on, moving the lever
to the AUTO position (g 9.1).
6. On the reservoir pressure gauge, you can
watch pressure build in the tank until the pump
stops at the factory-set pressure, about 115 to
120 psi.
7. This rst time running your compressor and
periodically thereafter, check for air leaks. If
the gauge indicates pressure is going down in
the tank or you hear leakage, you could apply
soapy water to all joints in the air transport
piping. Tighten these joints if bubbles form.
Adjusting the air pressure
Your air compressor is supplied with an air pressure
regulator. This regulator adjusts the air pressure
supplied to the hose.
• To increase air pressure, turn air regulator
knob (g 10.10) clockwise.
• To decrease air pressure, turn air regulator
knob counterclockwise.
• Use the outlet pressure gauge (g 10.8) to see
the resulting pressure.
