SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WEAR ANSI Z87.1 APPROVED EYE PROTECTION - Always wear approved eye protection equipment that provides both front and side eye protection when operating or servicing the compressor.
DO NOT EXCEED MAXIMUM RECOMMENDED OPERATING PRESSURE OF AIR-POWERED TOOLS OR OTHER EQUIPMENT BEING USED - Spray guns and other low to medium pressure equipment can burst, causing serious injury to user and bystanders. Read and follow all manufacturers' pressure recommendations before connecting tools, sprayers, or other equipment to compressor. Use extreme care when using the compressor with tires, inner tubes, and other inflatables, as excessive pressure or rapid inflation can cause these items to burst.
CONNECT COMPRESSOR POWER CORD ONLY TO A PROPERLY GROUNDED POWER OUTLET USING AN APPROVED 3-PRONG GROUNDED EXTENSION CORD - Using an improperly grounded outlet or extension cord can result in shock or electrocution. Electrical wiring, outlets, extension cords, and current protection devices such as fuses and circuit breakers must meet local electrical and safety codes, as well the requirements of the National Electrical Code. A ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) device may be required for compressor use outdoors, in garages, and in damp locations.
USE AN EXTENSION CORD THAT IS PROPERLY SIZED - Using an undersize cord can result in overheating of cord and short-circuiting, resulting in fire and damage to property. Use a UL-listed extension cord rated to safely handle the power requirements of the compressor.
DO NOT OPERATE IF FLAMMABLE VAPORS ARE PRESENT - The electric motor and pressure switch may produce sparks, which can ignite flammable vapors and cause fire or explosion. Flammable vapors from gasoline, solvents, adhesives, and other chemicals may drift some distance from the source, or build up in low areas. Operate the compressor only in well-ventilated areas that are free of flammable vapors.
DO NOT OPERATE IN THE RAIN OR IN WET AREAS - Operating an electric compressor in wet conditions can result in severe shock or electrocution. Operate only in dry conditions, using a properly grounded power outlet that conforms to local and national electrical code requirements. An outlet with ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) protection is recommended for use outdoors or in garages, and may be required by local electrical codes.
DO NOT TOUCH COMPRESSOR HEAD OR TUBING WHEN UNIT IS OPERATING - Normal compressor operation will cause tubing and other components to become extremely hot. Contact with hot parts can cause serious burns. Allow unit to cool before handling or performing service.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
NEVER DIRECT COMPRESSED AIR AT ANY BODY PARTS - Compressed air can penetrate skin, or force dirt and debris into eyes, causing serious injury. Never place hands or body parts over the air discharge opening of a pressurized nozzle or fitting. Use care when connecting and disconnecting air hose to attachments, pneumatic tools, and other air-powered devices.
KEEP FLAMMABLE SPRAYS AWAY FROM SPARKS AND OTHER SOURCES OF IGNITION - Spraying flammable liquids such as oil-base paints, sealers, and finishes near sparks, open flame, and other sources of ignition such as pilot lights, appliances, water heaters, furnaces, etc. can result in explosion and fire. Turn off all pilot lights, and avoid using electrical appliances, heaters, torches, and other equipment that may produce sparks or flame. Keep compressor as far away from spraying area as possible by using an air hose of sufficient length to prevent spray mist from being ignited by electrical sparks from compressor operation.
DO NOT TAMPER WITH COMPRESSOR PRESSURE SWITCH SETTINGS - The pressure switch settings set at the factory provide the maximum safe operating pressure recommended for this compressor. Altering these settings can result in over-pressurization, risk of tank, hose, and pneumatic equipment failure, and serious injury to operator and bystanders.
USE AIR HOSE RATED FOR 150 PSI OR GREATER - Air hose must be rated to safely handle maximum compressor pressure. Air hose that does not meet minimum pressure requirements can rupture, releasing high pressure air. Replace a cracked or leaking air hose immediately to prevent serious injury from contact with high pressure air streams.
DISCONNECT POWER CORD AND RELIEVE TANK PRESSURE BEFORE SERVICING UNIT – Never perform service or maintenance on any part of the compressor while the unit is pressurized or connected to power. The compressor can start automatically, causing serious injury. Open tank drains slowly to allow air to escape, and keep clear of air stream.
DO NOT MODIFY COMPRESSOR – Altering the compressor in any way may create a serious safety hazard, and result in serious injury to operator and bystanders. If compressor does not work properly, stop using unit immediately. Return unit to an authorized service center for repairs if problem cannot be remedied by following troubleshooting instructions in this manual.

Up to 150 ft. |
8 ga. |
Up to 250 ft. |
6 ga. |
7.Pull handle out until locking hole in handle is aligned with locking pin on base of compressor. Lock handle in extended position with locking pin, and use handle to wheel compressor to desired area of operation.
8.Position compressor on a secure, stable surface, no more than 10 degrees off level.
9.Plug power cord in, and unscrew Air Tank Drain at the bottom of the air tank. Start compressor by moving On/Off lever up to the “ON” position.
Allow compressor to run for 10 minutes without stopping. Watch for excessive vibration or unusual noise while compressor motor is running. If unit vibrates excessively or makes unusual noise, shut compressor off by moving
On/Off lever to “OFF” position. Refer to trouble-shooting chart for corrective action. If no excessive vibration is noted, tighten the Air
Tank Drain, allow unit to fill the air tanks, and proceed to step 10.
10.Check operation of Pressure Relief Valve by pulling release ring out to exhaust air pressure from tank. Release ring and allow pressure relief valve to reseat. Contact your dealer if
Pressure Relief Valve does not operate properly.
11.Compressor is now ready for regular operation.
