PRE-STARTCHECKLIST
• Ensure the unit is stable in a well-ventilated dry position.
• Ensure that the drain valve is closed and all air outlets are
closed.
• Connect the power lead to the mains.
• Start the compressor by pulling on the red knob.
• Check for air leaks.
NOTE: Output ttings may differ from those shown
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The pressure in the tank is controlled by the action of the pressure
switch located under the pressure switch cover.
When the set maximum pressure is reached the pressure switch
activates and the motor is turned off. The pressure will then de-
crease as the air is used until the set minimum is reached after
which the pressure switch turns the motor on again.
The operator of the compressor should be well aware that during
use of the compressor the motor will cycle (start and stop) under
the inuence of the rising or falling pressure in the tank and the
motor will start without any warning.The maximum and minimum
pressures are factory set and should not be altered.
You can utilize either the direct outlet and/or the regulated outlet.
The pressure of the regulated outlet can be changed by turning the
control knob. Rotate the knob clockwise to increase pressure and
anti-clockwise to decrease.
