TURNING THE UNIT OFF
See Shut-Down under Operating Procedures.
ADJUSTING THE REGULATOR (FIG. 1)
NOTE: When reducing from a higher to a lower setting, first
reduce to a pressure less than that desired, then bring it up to the
desired pressure. Depending on the air requirements of each par-
ticular accessory, the outlet regulated air pressure may have to be
adjusted while operating the accessory.
1. Pull the pressure regulator knob (E) out.
2. Turn the knob clockwise to increase regulated pressure and
counterclockwise to decrease regulated pressure.
3. When desired pressure is shown on the regulated pressure
gauge (D), push the knob in to lock it.
INSTALLING HOSES
WARNING: Firmly grasp the hose when installing or discon-
necting to prevent hose whip.
1. Ensure that the regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI.
2. Grasp the hose at the coupler.
3. Pull back the collar on the female quick-connect coupler located
on the compressor.
4. Push the male connector into the female connector.
5. Release the female connector.
6. Grasp hose and pull to ensure couplers are seated.
7. Adjust regulator to desired pressure.
DISCONNECTING HOSES
WARNING: Firmly grasp the hose when installing or discon-
necting to prevent hose whip.
1. Ensure that the regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI.
2. Grasp the hose at the coupler.
3. Pull back the collar on female quick-connect coupler located on
the compressor.
4. Pull the male connector out of the female connector.
5. Release the female connector.
DRAINING THE TANKS
WARNING: The tanks contain high pressure air. Keep the outlet
of drain away from face and other body parts. Use safety glasses
when draining because debris can be kicked up into face. Use ear
and breathing protection when draining.
NOTE: All compressed air systems generate condensate that
accumulates in any drain point (e.g., tanks, filter, aftercoolers,
dryers). This condensate could contain substances which may be
regulated and must be disposed of in accordance with local, state
and federal laws and regulations.
1. Ensure that the On/Off lever on the pressure switch is in the
OFF position.
2. Move the compressor into an inclined position so that the drain
valve(s) are at the lowest point. This will assist in removing
moisture, dirt, etc., from the tanks.
3. Place a suitable container under the drain to catch discharge.
4. Open the drain valve from below, keeping hands away from hot
surfaces.
5. Slowly rotate the drain valve lever counterclockwise to grad-
ually bleed air from tank.
6. When tank is at 10 PSI, rotate the drain valve lever to the
fully open position.
7. Close the drain valve(s) when finished.
Compatibility
Always use an air line filter to remove moisture or debris when
spraying paint.
