5. Setup
Before first use, ensure the compressor is placed on a stable, flat surface in a well-ventilated area.
5.1 Power Connection
The compressor can be powered by either a 110V AC household outlet or a 12V DC car battery.
- For AC Power (Household): Connect the provided AC power cord to the compressor's AC input and then to a standard 110V wall outlet.
Figure 5.1: Connecting the compressor to a 110V AC household outlet.
- For DC Power (Car Battery): Connect the red clamp of the DC power cable to the positive (+) terminal of your 12V car battery and the black clamp to the negative (-) terminal. Then, connect the other end of the DC power cable to the compressor's 12V DC power connector.

6. Operating Instructions
Follow these steps for safe and effective operation:
- Connect to Device: Connect the 8mm quick disconnect end of the inflation hose to the PCP air rifle, paintball tank, or mini diving tank you wish to inflate.
- Set Desired Pressure: Rotate the knob on the pressure gauge to set your desired shut-off pressure. The compressor will automatically stop once this pressure is reached.
- Turn on Cooling Fan: Before starting the compressor, always turn on the cooling fan using its dedicated switch. This is crucial for heat dissipation.
- Start Compressor: Flip the motor switch to the 'ON' position to begin inflation. Monitor the pressure gauge and the temperature display during operation.
- Monitor Temperature: The temperature display shows the internal temperature. If the temperature approaches 70°C (158°F), turn off the compressor and allow it to cool down before resuming operation.
- Automatic Shut-off: The compressor will automatically stop once the preset pressure is achieved.
- Release Pressure: After inflation, turn off the compressor and slowly open the release valve to vent any remaining pressure in the hose before disconnecting.
- Disconnect: Disconnect the inflation hose from your device and then from the compressor.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your compressor.
- Drain System: Periodically drain any accumulated moisture from the built-in drain system. This helps maintain air quality and prevents internal corrosion.
- Filter Cotton Replacement: The oil water filter contains filter cotton that needs to be replaced regularly. Refer to the included spare parts for replacements. The frequency depends on usage and air quality.
- Cleaning: Keep the exterior of the compressor clean and free of dust and debris. Use a dry cloth for cleaning. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
- Cooling Fan: Ensure the cooling fan and air vents are not obstructed to allow for proper airflow and heat dissipation.
