- Turn on the main power switch. The compressor will start automatically and build pressure.
- Once the desired pressure is reached, the compressor will shut off automatically due to the auto start/stop pressure switch operation.
4.2 Atharrachadh Brùthaidh
The operating pressure can be adjusted using the pressure regulator, typically located near the pressure gauge. Turn clockwise to increase pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease pressure. Monitor the pressure gauge during adjustment.
4.3 A’ dùnadh sìos
- Cuir dheth am prìomh atharrachadh cumhachd.
- Close the air outlet valve.
- Bleed any remaining air pressure from the tank using the manual condensate drain or an air tool connected to the outlet.
