OPERATION
 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.
 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 tank and unplug the
unit. Never leave the unit plugged in and/or running
unattended.
MAIN TANK ALONE - REGULATED CARRY
TANK FOR SMALL JOBS
See Figure 12, page 22.
The main tank can be separated from compressor tank and
power supply to be carried to remote location for small jobs.
One tool should be used in this instance.
 Ensure power switch is in the OFF (O) position and air
compressor is unplugged.
 Follow instructions for Releasing Pump Tank from Main
tank in Assembly section of manual.
 Move main tank to job site.
 Attach hose to one of the two quick-connect couplers
located on front gauge panel of the main tank as
previously instructed.
 Attach 1/4 in. NPT quick-connect air fitting to accessory
or tool you intend to use.
 Insert the other end of the quick-connect air fitting to the
quick-connect coupler on the open end of hose.
 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.
 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.
 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 tank. There are two
quarter turn drain valves on the main tank. Never leave
the unit plugged in and/or running unattended.
COMPRESSOR TANK AND MAIN TANK
SEPARATED AND CONNECTED WITH A HOSE
See Figure 13, page 22.
The compressor tank and main tank can be separated and
connected with a hose (up to 50 ft.) for maximum flexibility
at job site, remote regulation, to prevent pressure drop and
to keep noise outside.
 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.
 Attach unregulated air hose, on compressor tank, to air
hose (up to 50 ft.).
 Attach a 1/4 in. NPT quick-connect air fitting to air hose
and connect to 1/4 in. quick-connect intake coupler on
main tank.
 Move main tank to job area.
WARNING:
Only connect unregulated air hose between
compressor tank and unregulated air intake
coupler.
 Attach hose to one of the two quick-connect couplers
located on front gauge panel of the main tank as
previously instructed.
NOTE: If two tools are installed on the main tank, they
must use the same psi.
 A tool or accessory may be attached to compressor tank
if needed.
 Attach 1/4 in. NPT quick-connect air fitting to accessory
or tool you intend to use.
 Insert the other end of the quick-connect air fitting to the
quick-connect coupler on the open end of hose.
 Connect the power cord to the power supply.
 Turn the power switch to AUTO ( l ).
 Turn quarter turn ball valve lever, on unregulated air hose,
ON (0º) allowing air flow from compressor tank to main
tank.
 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.
 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.
