OPERATION
WARNING:
Always ensure the switch is in the OFF (O) position
and the regulator pressure gauge reads zero before
changing air tools or disconnecting the hose
from the air outlet. Failure to do so could result in
possible serious personal injury.
CAUTION:
Only use main tank with air compressor Model
No. OF50150TS to avoid damage to the tool or
risk of personal injury.
WARNING:
The compressor tank will become hot during use.
Failure to avoid contact with the hot surface may
result in serious personal injury.
INDEPENDENT LOCKING REGULATORS
Air pressure can be controlled separately with the regulator
knob on the compressor tank and the regulator knob on
the main tank.
To unlock the regulator knobs, pull outward and rotate
clockwise or counterclockwise to adjust the working
pressure up or down.
When the desired pressure has been set, the regulator knobs
can be locked into place by pushing them in.
COMPRESSOR TANK AND MAIN TANK
TOGETHER - DUAL PRESSURE REGULATION
AND MAXIMUM TANK CAPACITY
See Figure 10, page 22.
Keep the compressor tank and main tank together for maxi-
mum tank capacity and dual pressure regulation. One tool
may be installed on the compressor tank and regulated,
while up to two tools can be installed on the main tank and
regulated at a different psi.
 Follow instructions for Attaching Compressor tank to Main
tank in Assembly Section of manual.
 Attach hose(s) to one of the quick-connect couplers (1/4
in.) on compressor tank or main tank.
NOTE: If two tools are installed on the main tank, they
must use the same psi.
 Attach a 1/4 in. NPT quick-connect air fitting to accessory
or tool(s) you intend to use.
 Insert the other end of the quick-connect air fitting to the
quick coupler on the open end of hose.
 Connect the power cord to the power supply.
 Turn the power switch to AUTO ( l ).
 Check that the ball valve lever, on the unregulated air
hose, is in the ON (0º) position, allowing air flow from the
compressor tank to main tank.
 Pull out and rotate pressure regulator knobs to desired
line pressure. Turning the knobs clockwise increases air
pressure at the outlets; turning counterclockwise reduces
air pressure at the outlets.
 When the desired pressure has been set, the regulator
knobs can be locked in place by pushing them in.
 Following all safety precautions in this manual and the
manufacturer's instructions in the air tool manual, you
may now proceed to use your air-powered tool.
CAUTION:
Air powered tools may require more air consumption
than this air compressor is capable of providing.
Check the tool manual to avoid damage to the tool
or risk of personal injury.
 Control the amount of air flow with the pressure regulator
knob. Turning the knob fully counterclockwise will
completely stop the flow of air.
NOTE: Always use the minimum amount of pressure
necessary for your application. Using a higher pressure
than needed will drain air from the tank more rapidly and
cause the unit to cycle on more frequently.
 When finished, always drain the tanks and unplug the
unit. Never leave the unit plugged in and/or running
unattended.
COMPRESSOR TANK ALONE - FINISH
APPLICATIONS
See Figure 11, page 22.
The compressor tank can be used separately and alone for
finish work. Only one tool can be used with the compres-
sor tank.
 Ensure power switch is in the OFF (O) position and air
compressor is unplugged.
 Follow instructions for Releasing Compressor tank from
Main tank in Assembly section of manual.
 Move compressor tank to job site.
 Attach hose to compressor tank as previously instructed.
 Attach a 1/4 in. NPT quick-connect air fitting to tool or
accessory you intend to use.
 Insert the other end of the quick-connect air fitting to the
quick coupler on the open end of hose.
 Connect the power cord to the power supply.
 Turn the power switch to AUTO ( l ).
 Pull out and rotate pressure regulator knob to desired
line pressure. Turning the knob clockwise increases air
pressure at the outlet; turning counterclockwise reduces
air pressure at the outlet.
