START-UP:  
1.  Read safety warnings before performing operation.

2.  Ensure the Motor/Pressure Switch is in the "OFF" position.

3.  Plug the Power Cord into a grounded outlet.

4.  Pull the Motor/Pressure Switch up to the "ON" position.  This will allow the  

 

air compressor to start  building up pressure in the air tanks.  You will  

 

hear an air leak for the first 20-50 seconds until the easy start valve closes.   

 

This will 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 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.  To stop the air compressor, move the Motor/Pressure Switch to the "OFF" 

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 tanks by releasing air with an attached air tool or 

by   pulling on the Safety Relief Valve.

3.  Once the Air Tank Pressure Gauge registers under 10 pounds, open the 

Air Tank Drain Valve under each air tank to drain any moisture.

4.  Allow the air compressor to cool down.  

5.  Wipe the air compressor clean and store in a safe, non-freezing area.

Read  the  instruction  manual  before  performing  maintenance.    The  follow-

ing  procedures  must  be  performed  when  stopping  the  air  compressor  for 

maintenance or service.

  1.  Turn off air compressor.  

  2.  Disconnect Power Cord from main power supply.

  3.  Open all drains.

  4.  Wait for the air compressor to cool before starting service.

*The pump oil must be changed after the first 50 hours of operation and 

every 200 hours or 3 months, whichever comes first.

Every two years, an Authorized Service Technician should check the check 

valve, intake valves and delivery valves.
