    Getting a Hobart 210 MVP, need advice on accessories

    I just bought a IR 2340L5 compressor, 5HP, 2 stage, 1 Phase. It seems to work ok, but there is 1 thing I'm not sure about. When it turns off, no matter if you shut it off or if shut itself off when the pressure has reached, there is a loud hissing sound from the 2 stage head, it sounds like...
