PRE-START CHECKLIST:
1. Remove any moisture in the air compressor air tank. Remove excessive pressure with an air tool, then open
the air tank drain valve in the bottom of the air tank. Close tightly when drained.
WARNING: Risk of bodily injury. NEVER attempt to open the drain valve when
more than 0.7 bar of air pressure is in the air tank!
2. Make sure the air compressor Motor Switch is in the OFF (0) 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:
1. Ensure the lever on the pressure switch box is in the OFF (0) position.
2. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
3. Move the lever on the pressure switch box to the On (1) position.
4. AUTO OPERATION:
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.
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:
1. T o stop the air compressor, move the lever on the pressure switch box to the OFF (0) position. NEVER
stop the air compressor by unplugging it from the power source. This could result in risk of electrocution.
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 0.7 bar, 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.
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 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.
PROCEDURE
Check pump oil level
Oil leak inspection
Drain condensation in air tank(s)
Check for unusual noise/vibration
Check for air leaks
Inspect air filter
Clean exterior of compressor
Check safety relief valve
Change pump oil*
Replace air filter
*The pump oil must be changed after the first 50 hours of operation and every 200 hours or 3 months, whichever
comes first. Recommended non-detergent straight weights.
OPERATION
The ON position will allow the air compressor to START building
