Operating Instructions
⚠WARNING
• Risk of bursting. If any unusual noise or vibration is noticed, stop the compressor immediately and
have it checked by a trained service technician.
How to Start
1. Turn the Auto/Off switch to AUTO and allow the tank pressure to build. The motor will stop when the
tank pressure reaches the “cut-out” pressure.
2. Turn the regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure.
IMPORTANT: When using the regulator and other accessories, refer to the manufacturer’s instructions.
The compressor is ready for use.
After Each Use
⚠WARNING
• Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose in hand when installing or disconnecting to prevent
hose whip.
• Risk of bursting. Drain air tank daily. Water will condense in air tank. If not drained, water will
corrode and weaken the air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.
3. Move the Auto/Off switch to the OFF position. NOTE: If finished using compressor, follow steps 4-8.
4. Turn the regulator knob counter-clockwise until fully closed. Ensure the regulated pressure gauge reads
0 PSI.
5. Remove the hose and accessory.
6. Drain the air tank. See the Draining Air Tank section under Maintenance. Ensure the air tank pressure
gauge reads 0 PSI.
7. Allow the compressor to cool down.
8. Wipe the air compressor clean with a clean, dry cloth and store in a safe, non-freezing area.
