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.

NOTE: When the compressor is in the ON 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.
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.
Always ensure the switch is in the OFF (O) position and the
regulator pressure gauge reads zero before changing air tools or
