Break-in Procedure
Serious damage may result if the following
break-in instructions are not closely
followed.
This procedure is required only once, before the air
compressor is put into service.
1.
Set the pressure switch OFF/AUTO lever in the
"OFF" position.
2.
Plug the power cord into the correct branch
circuit receptacle.
3.
Turn the regulator clockwise, opening it fully, to
prevent air pressure build-up in the tank.
4.
Move the OFF/AUTO lever to "AUTO". The
compressor will start.
5.
Run the compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure
the regulator is open and there is no tank pres-
sure build-up.
6.
After 15 minutes, close the regulator by turning it
counterclockwise. The air tank will fill to cut-out
pressure and then the motor will stop.
Refer to "Operating Procedures".
GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
RISK OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK. In the event
of a short circuit, grounding reduces the risk
of shock by providing an escape wire for the
electric current. This air compressor must
be properly grounded.
The portable air compressor is equipped with a cord
having a grounding wire with an appropriate grounding
plug. The plug must be used with an outlet that has
been installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances. The outlet must have the
same configuration as the plug. DO NOT USE AN
ADAPTER TO DEFEAT THE GROUNDING FEATURE
OF THE PLUG.
Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use
if there are signs of damage.
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
Do not modify the plug that has been pro-
vided. If it does not fit the available outlet,
the correct outlet should be installed by a
qualified electrician.
If repairing cord or plug, the grounding wire must be
kept separate from the current-carrying wires. Never
connect the grounding wire to a flat blade plug
terminal. The grounding wire has insulation with an
outer surface that is green - with or without yellow
stripes.
If these grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to whether the compres-
sor is properly grounded, have the installation
checked by a qualified electrician.
