2. Monitor Pressure: Observe the tank pressure gauge. The compressor will automatically shut off once the maximum pressure (9 bar) is reached.
3. Adjust Output Pressure: Use the pressure adjustment knob to set the desired working pressure for your air tool. The output pressure gauge will display this setting.
4. Connect Air Tool: Attach your air tool to the Shucko air outlet.
5. Operation: Begin using your air tool. The compressor will cycle on and off automatically to maintain the set pressure in the tank.
6. Power Off: When finished, turn the ON/OFF switch to the "OFF" position.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your compressor.

6.1 Daily Maintenance

• Drain Condensate: After each use, or daily if used frequently, open the drain valve located at the bottom of the air tank to release accumulated moisture. This prevents rust and corrosion inside the tank.
