INSTALLING AIR FILTERS
See figure 5.
Attach one air filter to each of the cylinder covers. Screw in a clockwise
direction to fasten securely.
OPERATION
WARNING! Do not disassemble check valve, Nitto couplers, tank
drain valves or safety relief valve with air in tank — bleed tank.
WARNING! Always wear eye protection with side shields. Failure
to do so could result in objects being thrown into your eyes resulting
in possible serious injury.
WARNING! Do not attach any tools to the open end of the hose
until start-up has been completed.
WARNING! Do not use in an environment that is dusty or
otherwise contaminated. Using the air compressor in this type of
environment may cause damage to the unit.
TRANSPORTING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
See figure 6.
The air compressor should be moved as instructed. This will help
you avoid damaging the wheel or the air compressor by rolling it over
items in its path.
Ensure the air compressor is unplugged and the power cord is
secured from free movement.
To move the air compressor:
1. Lift the front wheel locking levers to unlock the front wheels.
2. Grasp the front handle firmly with two hands.
3. Push the compressor along to the desired location.
4. Press down the front wheel locking levers to lock the front wheels.
To transport the air compressor up or down stairs:
1. Grasp the front handle and rear handle firmly. Lift the unit into a
safe and comfortable carrying position.
NOTE: Use good lifting techniques and get help if needed.
2. With proper footing and balance, carry the unit one step at a time.
3. Use care in transporting the unit down or up stairs to avoid
damage to the stairs, damage to unit and personal injury. Pay
extra attention to the drain valve which is under the tank during
transportation, to avoid any damage.
4. Lower the air compressor until it sits securely on a flat surface.
ATTACHING/DISCONNECTING AIR HOSE
See figure 7.
NOTE: For operation using pressures above 6 bar (87 psi) delivery
hoses should be fitted with a safety cord, e.g., wire rope.
1. Make sure the air compressor is off and unplugged.
2. Rotate pressure regulator knob fully counterclockwise.
3. Rotate regulator locking ring fully counterclockwise.
4. Confirm that the outlet pressure is at zero (0) bar.
5. Attach hose with quick connect air fitting to 6.35 mm (1/4 in.)
quick connect coupler (regulated pressure) on air compressor.
Make sure to push the hose adapter end fully into the coupler
until the sleeve springs forward to lock it in place.
To disconnect an air hose or an air tool:
1. Rotate pressure regulator knob fully counterclockwise.
2. Confirm that the outlet pressure is at zero (0) bar.
3. When disconnecting a hose from 6.35 mm (1/4 in.) quick coupler,
always firmly hold release end of hose.
4. Pull back on the release sleeve on the 6.35 mm
(1/4 in.) quick coupler.
5. With a firm grip, pull out the quick connect air fitting that is
attached to the quick coupler.
TURNING THE AIR COMPRESSOR ON/OFF
See figure 9.
1.
With the air compressor plugged in, pull the power switch to the
AUTO position to power the compressor on.
2. To turn the air compressor off, push the power switch to the OFF
position.
NOTE: When the compressor is in the AUTO position, the air
compressor will automatically turn on when the designated tank
air pressure drops below the preset pressure limit. It will also shut
off again when the desired pressure is reached.
WARNING! Always turn the compressor AUTO/OFF with the
onboard switch. Do not switch AUTO/OFF at the mains, as this will
lead to overloading. If overloading occurs, refer to the Troubleshooting
section for instructions.
WARNING! Never exceed the air tool's pressure rating as
recommended by the manufacturer. When using this air compressor
as an inflation device, always follow the maximum inflation guidelines
stated by the manufacturer of the item being inflated.
WARNING! Always ensure the switch is in the OFF position and
the regulated 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.
USING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
See figure 8 - 9.
1. Ensure the power switch is in the OFF position and air compressor
is unplugged.
2. If not already installed, attach hose to compressor as previously
instructed.
3. Attach 6.35 mm (1/4 in.) quick connect air fitting to accessory or
tool you intend to use.
4. Insert the other end of the quick connect air fitting to the quick
coupler (regulated pressure) on the open end of hose.
5. Connect the power cord to the power supply.
6. Turn the switch to the AUTO position.
7. Rotate pressure regulator knob to the desired line pressure.
Turning the knob clockwise increases air pressure at the outlet;
turning counterclockwise reduces air pressure at the outlet.
8. Rotate regulator locking ring fully counterclockwise to lock the
air pressure.
9. 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.
WARNING! 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.
10. 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.
