Setup

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the compressor from its packaging. Inspect for any shipping damage. Report any damage to your supplier immediately.
2. Placement: Place the compressor on a firm, level surface in a clean, dry, and well-ventilated area. Ensure there is adequate space around the unit for air circulation.
3. Electrical Connection: Connect the power cord to a grounded 110 Volt, 60 Hz electrical outlet. Ensure the circuit can handle the compressor's 1700 Watt power requirement.
4. Initial Check: Before first use, ensure all connections are secure and the drain valve at the bottom of the tank is closed.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On: Plug the compressor into the appropriate electrical outlet. Turn the power switch to the "ON" position. The compressor will begin to build pressure.
2. Pressure Adjustment: Use the pressure regulator knob (typically located near the pressure gauges) to set the desired output air pressure. One gauge shows tank pressure, the other shows regulated output pressure.
3. Connecting Air Tools: Attach your air hose to the quick-connect coupler. Ensure the connection is secure before operating any air tools.
4. Power Off: When finished, turn the power switch to the "OFF" position. Disconnect air tools and release any remaining air pressure from the hose.
5. Drain Tank: After each use, or at least daily, open the drain valve at the bottom of the tank to release accumulated moisture. Close the valve securely afterward.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your SMTmax air compressor. Always disconnect power and release tank pressure before maintenance.

• Daily: Drain moisture from the air tank. This prevents rust and corrosion inside the tank.
• Weekly/Monthly:
  • Inspect the air filter (if present) for dirt and debris. Clean or replace as needed.
  • Check all hoses and connections for leaks. Tighten or replace as necessary.
  • Clean the exterior of the compressor to prevent dust buildup on cooling fins.
• Annual: Have the compressor inspected by a qualified technician for wear and tear on critical components.

Note: As this is an oil-free compressor, there is no oil to check or change.
