Grounding Instructions
This product should be grounded. In the event of
an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the
risk of electric shock by providing an escape wire
for the electric current. This product is equipped
with a cord having a grounding wire with an ap-
propriate grounding plug. (See the figure below.)
The plug must be plugged into an outlet that is
properly installed and grounded in accordance
with all local codes and ordinances. Check with
a qualified electrician or service personnel if
these instructions are not completely understood
or if in doubt as to whether the tool is properly
grounded.
Make sure that the product is connected to an
outlet having the same configuration as the plug.
No adapter should be used with this product. If
the product must be reconnected for use on a
different type of electric circuit, qualified service
personnel should make the reconnection.
Extension Cords
Use only a 3-wire extension cord that has a
3-blade grounding plug, and a 3-slot receptacle
that will accept the plug on the product. Make
sure your extension cord is in good condition.
When using an extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the current your
product will draw. Cords must not exceed 25
feet and No. 12 AWG size must be used. An
undersized cord will cause a drop in line voltage
resulting in loss of power and overheating.
Break In Procedures
No break in procedure is required by the user.
This product is factory tested to ensure proper
operation and performance.
P/ug
i
Grounding Pin
Grounded

Improper installation of the grounding plug will
result in a risk of electric shock. If repair or
replacement of the cord or plug is necessary,
do not connect the grounding wire to either flat
blade terminal. The wire with insulation having
an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the grounding wire. Check
with a qualified electrician or serviceman if
the grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the
product is properly grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided; if it will not fit the outlet, have the
proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
This product is for use on a circuit having a
nominal rating of 120 volts and is factory-
equipped with a specific electric cord and plug

accessories/tools being used for damage or
obstruction. If any of these mentioned items
are in need of repair/replacement, contact
your local authorized service dealer before use.
3. Close the drain valve.
4. Check the oil level of the pump.
5. Connect the air hose to the quick connect
socket on the regulator assembly by inserting
the quick connect plug on the air hose into
the quick connect socket. The quick connect
socket collar will snap forward and lock
the plug into place providing an air tight seal
between the socket and plug. To release the
air hose push the collar back on the quick
connect socket.
6. Plug the power cord into the proper receptacle.
7. Turn the Auto-On/Off lever to the On-Auto
position and the compressor will start and
build air pressure in the tank to cut-out
pressure and then shut off automatically.
8. Adjust the regulator to a PSI setting that is
needed for your application and be sure it is
within the safety standards required to
perform the task. If using a pneumatic tool,
the manufacturer should have recommendations
in the manual for that particular tool on operating
PSI settings.
