_AWARNING: RISK FROM FLYING OBJECTS
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
• The compressed air stream can cause
soft tissue damage to exposed skin
and can propel dirt, chips, loose par-
ticles, and small objects at high speed,
resulting in property damage or personal
injury.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Always wear certified safety equipment: ANSi
Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) with
side shields when using the compressor.
• Never point any nozzle or sprayer toward any
part of the body or at other people or animals.
• Always turn the compressor off and bleed
pressure from the air hose and air tank before
attempting maintenance, attaching tools or
accessories.
_ _WARNING: RISK OF HOT SURFACES

_ AWARNING: RiSK OF UNSAFE OPERATION
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Review and understand all instructions and
warnings in this manual.
• Become familiar with the operation and con-
trols of the air compressor.
• Keep operating area clear of all persons,
pets, and obstacles.
• Keep children away from the air compressor
at all times.
• Do not operate the product when fatigued or
under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Stay
alert at all times.
• Never defeat the safety features of this prod-
uct.
• Equip area of operation with a fire extin-
guisher.
Do not operate machine with missing, bro-
ken, or unauthorized parts.
Never stand on the compressor.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Unsafe operation of your air compres-
sor could lead to serious injury or death
to you or others.

AUTO/OFF SWITCH
Place this switch (L) in the AUTO (I) position to provide automatic power to the pressure
switch and OFF (O) to remove power at the end of each use.
PRESSURE SWITCH
The pressure switch (H) automatically starts the motor when the air tank pressure drops
below the factory set cut-in pressure. It stops the motor when the air tank pressure
reaches the factory set cut-out pressure.
SAFETY VALVE
If the pressure switch does not shut off the air compressor at its cut-out pressure setting,
the safety valve (G) will protect against high pressure by popping out at its factory set
pressure (slightly higher than the pressure switch cut-out setting).
CHECK VALVE
When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is open, allowing compressed air
to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches cut-out pressure, the check valve
closes, allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank.
TANK PRESSURE GAUGE
The tank pressure gauge (K) indi-cates the reserve air pressure in the tank.
REGULATED PRESSURE GAUGE
The regulated pressure gauge (D) indicates the air pressure available at the outlet side of
the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the regulator.
REGULATOR
The regulator (F) controls the air pressure shown on the regulated pressure gauge. Pull the
knob out and turn clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease pressure.
When the desired pressure is reached push knob in to lock in place. The regulated pressure
range is 7-150 psi.
AWARNING: Risk of Bursting. Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of bursting.
Check the manufacturer's maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The
regulator outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.
UNIVERSAL QUICK CONNECT BODIES
The universal quick connect body (E) accepts the three most popular styles of quick connect
plugs: industrial, automotive, and ARC. One hand push-to-connect operation makes
connections simple and easy. The two quick connect bodies allow the use of two tools at
the same time.
DRAIN VALVE
The drain valve (M) is located at the base of the air tank and is used to drain condensation
at the end of each use. See Draining Air Tank under Maintenance.
COOLING SYSTEM
This compressor contains an advanced design cooling system. It is normal for this fan to
blow air through the vent holes in large amounts. The cooling system is working when air
is expelled.
AIR COMPRESSOR PUMP
The pump compresses air into the air tank. Working air is not available until the compressor
has raised the air tank pressure above that required at the air outlet.
