Break-in Procedure
Serious damage may result if the following
break-in instructions are not closely fol-
lowed.
This procedure is required only once, before the air
compressor is put into service.
1. Set the pressure switch OFF/AUTO lever to the
"OFF" position.
2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit
receptacle.
3. Turn the regulator clockwise, opening it fully to
prevent air pressure build-up in the tank.
4. Move the OFF/AUTO lever to "AUTO". The com-
pressor will start.
5. Run the compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure the
regulator is open and there isno tank pressure build-
up.
6. After 15 minutes, close the regulator by turning it
counterclockwise. The air tank will fill to cut-out
pressure and the motor will stop.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
1. Before attaching air hose or accessories, make sure
the OFF/AUTO lever is set to "OFF" and the air
regulator is closed.
2. Attach hose and accessories.
5. Open the regulator by turning it clockwise. Adjust
the regulator to the correct pressure setting. Your
compressor is ready for use.
6. Always operate the air compressor in well-venti-
lated areas; free of gasoline or other solvent vapors.
7. Do not operate the compressor near the spray area.

TOO MUCH AiR PRESSURE CREATES A HAZ-
ARDOUS RiSK OF BURSTING. CAREFULLY FOL-
LOW STEPS 3 AND 5 EACH TiME THE COMPRES-
SOR IS USED.
Compressed air from the unit may contain water
condensation. Do not spray unfiltered air at an
item that could be damaged. Some air operated
tools or devices may require filtered air. Read the
instructions for the air tool or device.
Check the manufacturer's maximum pressure rat-
ing for air tools and accessories. The regulator
outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum
pressure rating. If your compressor is not supplied
with a regulator with gauge, install one before using
accessories.
Turn the OFF/AUTO lever to AUTO and allow tank
pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank pres-
sure reaches "cut-out" pressure.
When you are finished:
8. Set the OFF/AUTO lever to "OFF".
9. Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the
outlet pressure to zero.
10. Remove the air tool or accessory.
11. Open the regulator and allow the air to slowly bleed
from the tank. Close the regulator when tank pres-
sure is approximately 20 psi.
12. Drain water from air tank.

With tank pressure at approximately 20 psi, open the
drain cock or drain valve.
13. After the water has been drained, close drain
cock or drain valve. The air compressor can now
be stored.
