How do I set up and start the air compressor for the first time?

For initial setup, ensure all nuts and bolts are tightened, remove the white plug and replace it with a red bung, screw in the air filter, place the compressor in a clean, dry, and ventilated area. Check voltage is within ±4% of the rated value. Then connect to power supply with the switch knob set to off and allow the motor to cycle for 10 minutes without load to ensure lubrication.
