- Assicuratevi chì a valvula di drenaggiu in u fondu di u serbatoiu sia chjusa.
- Cunnette u compressore à una presa elettrica adatta.
- Turn the power switch to the "ON" position. The compressor will begin to build pressure.
- Allow the compressor to reach its maximum pressure and shut off automatically. This indicates the pressure switch is functioning correctly.
2. Adjusting Output Pressure
The compressor features a pressure regulator to control the air pressure delivered to your tools.
- Attach your air hose and tool to one of the quick-connect valves.
- Turn the pressure regulator knob (usually located near the output gauges) clockwise to increase pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease pressure.
- Monitor the output pressure gauge to set the desired pressure for your application.
