BEFORE STARTING
WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you
read this instruction manual for safety, operation
and maintenance instructions.
For proper operation of your air compressor, it is recommended
that a 50% duty cycle be maintained; that is, the air compressor
should not run more than 30 minutes in any 60 minute period.
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Serious damage may result if
the following break-in instructions are not closely followed.
This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into
service and when the check valve or a complete pump has been
replaced.
1. Make sure the Auto/Off switch is in the "OFF (0)" position.
2. Check oil level in pump. See Checking Oil paragraph,
page 21 in Maintenance for instructions.
3. Recheck all wiring. Make sure wires are secure at all
terminals connections. Make sure all contacts move freely
and are not obstructed.
4. Open the drain valve (clockwise) fully to permit air to
escape and prevent air pressure build up in the tank during
the break-in period.
5. Move the Auto/Off switch to "AUTO (1)"
position, Fig 18. The air compressor will
start.
6. Run the air compressor for 30 minutes.
Make sure the drain valve and all air
lines are open so there is only a minimal
air pressure build-up in tank.
NOTICE: After about 30 minutes, If the unit does not operate
properly, SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY, and contact Product
Service at: 1-888-895-4549.
7. Check all air line fittings and connections/piping for air leaks
by applying a soap solution. Correct if necessary.
NOTICE: Minor leaks can cause the air compressor to overwork,
resulting in premature breakdown or inadequate performance.
8. Check for excessive vibration. Re-adjust or shim air
air compressor feet, if necessary.
9. After 30 minutes, turn the Auto/Off switch to the "OFF (0)"
position.
10. Close the drain valve.
11. Turn the Auto/Off switch to the "AUTO (1)" position. The tank
will fill to "cut-out" pressure and the motor will stop.
The air compressor is now ready for use.
