How are you supposed to use an air compressor when they don't give you a cap for the other fitting? My application is not next to a car.

I connected the short extension hose to it and installed the rubber flap in the end they give you in the little part bag and yes if they gave you a cap that would be great

My thought is that you would have to devise a conical fitting at the end of your air hose so that you can use the inflator..

You should not need an auxiliary tank with this compressor. It has a fitting on the compressor to plug a hose in so you can air up tires, run air tools, etc. This compressor is 100% duty cycle so it is designed to run continuously until it meets it's demand. This should be all you will need to hook everything up. If you decide to go into a tank, you may need a hose made up to go from the compressor to the auxiliary tank. Hope this helps, good luck with your build.

You should have a plug with it; all three of the ones I bought had plugs. No wonder it won't hold air! I just used a hand air pump.

I actually used my compressor. I turned the pressure way down but you really have to be careful if you use a compressor. Just blow it up really slow whatever you use.

Use a standard air compressor with a tire inflator. The same as inflating a bike or car tire. Use a tire pump for that matter.

Yes you need an air compressor with a minimum of 16 cfm to run this tool. I would however recommend even more cfm than that as this tool is a bit of an air hog.

The compressor has enough to run it. but ig you use it for any length of time you might run out of air.

I'm not sure you should call a local paintball shop to ask your question. I usally fill mine up at the park when I play. I don't see them using a air compressor I see them using a tank. Good luck!!!

You need a mini air compressor and a hose to connect the two together. It is preferred that the air compressor have a knob to allow variable adjustment of the airflow. Hope this helps. =)

Standard air hose quick connect works. Any compressor supply company carries it. Home Depot even has the quick connect fitting for it.

Valve needs the connections from the tank and the compressor to balance the pressure for the right time to turn on the switch. I am not sure what you can cap off other than the relief valve. However some relief valves are used for safety relief valves. You may need a new relief valve of its leaking.

Yes, NORMAL. The cap has a long tube and a vent hole so there is no pressure build up in the crankcase. Remember, this a "lubricated compressor". Think of it like a "small engine", the crankcase has to be vented.

The maker of the compressor should have included a plastic bag full of extra fittings. Most air hoses end with a male threaded fitting and then you have to put on a female coupler so you can quickly change tools on the compressor. The tire guage even has a male thread end that you have to put a female coupler on so you can stick it in the end of your compressor hose. If the compressor did not have these accessories included, you can pick up a 15 or 17 piece compressor accessorie kit at sears or maybe even wal-mart. If I can explain further, please contact me back to clarify.

My husband used his air compressor. Any gas station would have one for tires. Maybe you could try that for free?I even use this great exercise ball at my desk to get exercise while typing away!

A large tank helps, but you really want your compressor output to be greater than the tool useage (CFM rating). If the tool takes more than the air compressor makes, sooner or later you will run out of air no matter how big the tank is.

I use a compressor because of the extra pressure but if you don't have one the compressed air in a can that you are already using is the only option. Words of caution, just don't shake it first and make sure to keep it upright otherwise the liquid will come out into your keyboard. If you only spray the air while it is sitting flat you may not be getting everything out of the keyboard. I like to turn mine upside down and rotate on all sides to make sure everything has a chance to come out. If any liquids (soda, coffee, libations, etc) have been spilled into the keyboard then the compressed air or air compressor may not work for you, you may need to replace the keyboard. There are plenty of places online to purchase a replacement keyboard and instructions to get it done. They can usually be found for under 25 bucks. Takes about 45 minutes or less and just about anyone can do it with the online instructions. Hope this helps Dave
