- Initial Pressure Build-up:
- Locate the ON/OFF switch (typically a red rocker switch on the control panel).
- Flip the switch to the 'ON' position. The compressor will begin to fill the tank.
- Monitor the tank pressure gauge. The compressor will automatically shut off once it reaches its maximum pressure of 150 PSI.
- Before connecting any air tools, ensure the regulator knob is turned fully counter-clockwise to the lowest pressure setting.
3. Operasyon Enstriksyon
- Konekte Zouti Pneumatik yo:
- Ensure the compressor is off and the regulated pressure is at its lowest setting.
- Attach your air hose to one of the two quick-connect couplers on the control panel.
- Konekte zouti lè ou vle a nan lòt bout tiyo lè a.
- Ajiste presyon:
- Turn the compressor ON.
- Slowly turn the regulator knob clockwise to increase the regulated pressure to the desired PSI for your tool. The regulated pressure gauge will show the current output pressure.
- Vire bouton an nan sans kontrè zegwi mont lan pou diminye presyon an.

- Sèvi ak Compressor la:
- Once the desired pressure is set, you can begin using your air tool.
- The compressor will automatically cycle on and off to maintain tank pressure as air is consumed.
- Always wear appropriate safety gear, including hearing protection, when operating the compressor and air tools.

- Slowly open the drain valve located at the bottom of the tank to release any condensed moisture. This should be done after each use or at least daily if used frequently.
- Allow all air and moisture to escape. Close the drain valve tightly once complete.
- Netwayaj jeneral: Kenbe konpresè a pwòp epi san pousyè ak debri. Siye deyò a ak yon pwodui netwayaj.amp twal. Pa sèvi ak pwodwi chimik piman bouk.
NAN. Depanaj
| Pwoblèm | Kòz posib | Solisyon |
|---|---|---|
| Konpresè a ap fonksyone san rete oswa souvan. | Fwit lè nan tank la oswa nan koneksyon yo. | Check all connections for leaks using soapy water. Tighten fittings or replace seals as needed. Ensure drain valve is fully closed. |
| Compressor is excessively loud. | Normal operation noise; loose components. | Air compressors are inherently noisy. Ensure all screws and bolts are tight. Always use hearing protection. |
| Compressor pa kòmanse. | No power; thermal overload activated. | Check power connection and circuit breaker. Allow unit to cool down if thermal overload is tripped. |
| Presyon lè a ba nan zouti a. | Regulator set too low; air leak in hose/tool. | Adjust regulator knob clockwise. Check air hose and tool connections for leaks. |
