OPERATION
HOW TO USE THE SWIVEL HANDLE
The handle is designed to be used in two different positions.
• To lift up the compressor, use the handle in the 'closed'
position (Pic. 1). Be sure the 2 handle knobs are well
tightened.
• To move the compressor using the wheels, mount the
handle in the 'open' position: loosen the 2 handle knobs
in counterclockwise direction (Pic. 2 - 2.1) and rotate
the handle until it reaches the highest position. At this
point re-tighten the 2 handle knobs.
The compressor can be easily trailed as shown in the
