Al-1 Compressed Air Loader Instructions

 

 

OPERATION 

 
To begin operation, simply plug the power cord into a 115-volt outlet, turn on the compressed air 
supply and adjust the regulator gauge to 60 PSI. This setting should provide a relatively good flow for 
any material.  The only adjustment that is needed once the unit is in operation is fine tuning the material 
flow rate, using the filter/regulator with gauge if necessary.  To disable the unit, simply unplug it.    
 
Once in operation, fine-tune the adjustment until a smooth, consistent flow is obtained considering the 
material characteristics, the distance from your material source and the ability of the system to easily 
pickup and begin moving the material. If an adjustable pick-up device is being used, make sure the 
device is set at the position where a smooth flow of material can be obtained. 
 
Pull the knob on the regulator to adjust the compressed air setting. Turn the knob clockwise to increase 
the pressure and counter-clockwise to decrease the pressure.  Once the desired level is obtained, lock 
the knob back in the place by pushing it down. 
 
Observe the operation to assure it is consistent and responsive and that all components of the 
installation are tight, dust free and secure.
