I think the pressure release valve is open. check under the
holding tank. their should be a valve where it should be in the close position.

one knob should be for maximum holding pressure
one knob should be for maximum working pressure

your compressor should take about 5min tops to fill up.

when you are done, turn the pressure release valve to the
open position. caution to sensitive ears. wear hearing protection when doing this. do this to when storing your air compressor.

good luck!

You have to plug the hose into the tire air valve, then as the compressor fills in the tire, the needle will start counting the pounds of air pressure.

The outlet is open.You need to attach the hose with the air chuck or whatever on the end.
