Operating Instructions
Set-Up
Place the unit in an open, well-ventilated area. Position as level as possible. The design of
these units permits a 15 degree sidewise limit on out-of-level operation in any direction.
Before Starting
CAUTION
!
Do not connect the air discharge on this unit into a common header with
any other unit of any description, or any other source of compressed air,
without first making sure a check valve is used between the header and
the unit. If this unit is connected in parallel with another unit of higher
discharge pressure and capacity, a safety hazard could occur in a back-
flow condition.
WARNING
!
Unrestricted air flow from a hose will result in a whipping motion of the
hose which can cause serious injury or death. A safety device must be
attached to the hose at the source of supply to reduce pressure in case
of hose failure or other sudden pressure release. Reference: OSHA
regulation 29 CFR Section 1926.302 (b).
Check the compressor oil level. The proper level exists if it is visible in
the upper half of the sight glass with the unit level. It is advisable to add
if the level is below the mid-point of the sight glass. Do not overfill - the
top of the sight glass is the full mark.
WARNING
!
This machine produces loud noise. Extended exposure to loud noise can
cause hearing loss. Wear hearing protection.
Always operate this equipment with all enclosure panels installed to
avoid recirculation of hot air and loss of flow through the oil cooler. This
will maximize the life of the compressor.
