*IMPORTANT AIR COMPRESSOR BREAK-IN PROCEDURES*
NOTE: SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE AIR COMPRESSOR MAY RESULT IF THE FOLLOWING BREAK-IN INSTRUCTIONS ARE NOT
CLOSELY FOLLOWED. THESE PROCEDURES ARE REQUIRED BEFORE THE AIR COMPRESSOR CAN BE PUT INTO SERVICE, AFTER
REPLACING THE CHECK VALVE, AND WHEN A PISTON OR A CYLINDER SLEEVE ARE REPLACED.
1) Make sure the oil level in the crankcase reaches the centre dot of the oil sight glass (A) Fig.6. If needed, refer to maintenance section in this
manual for instructions on filling the crankcase with oil.
2) Pull then turn regulator knob (A) Fig.7 counterclockwise to open air flow.
3) Move load master valve lever (B) Fig.7 to a horizontal position (unloaded position)
as shown to allow the compressor pump to run without compressing air.
4) Make sure there is sufficient amount of fuel in the gas tank and oil in the engine
crankcase.
5) Run the engine/compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure there is no tank pressure
build-up (tank pressure gauge at zero).
6) After 15 minutes, move load master valve lever (B) Fig.7 down (loaded position)
and turn the regulator knob clockwise. The compressor will begin to pump air in
the air tanks.
7) When maximum tank pressure is reached, the compressor automatically unloads,
bringing the engine to idle speed. The engine will remain at idle speed until tank
pressure drops below the cut-in pressure setting. The engine then accelerates and
the compressor pumps additional air into the air tanks. The compressor is now
ready for use.
