Before Starting
Break-in Procedure
Risk of Unsafe
Operation. 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
compressor pump has been replaced.
1.
Make sure the On/Auto/Off lever
is in the "OFF" position.
NOTE:
Pull coupler back until it clicks
to prevent air from escaping through
the quick connect.
2.
Plug the power cord into the
correct branch circuit receptacle.
(Refer to Voltage and Circuit
Protection paragraph in the
Installation section of this
manual.)
3.
Open the drain
valve fully to permit
air to escape and
prevent air
pressure build up
in the air tank during the break-in
period.
4.
Move the On/Auto/Off lever to
"ON/AUTO" position. The
compressor will start.
5.
Run the compressor for 15
minutes. Make sure the drain
valve is open and there is
minimal air pressure build-up in
tank.
6.
After 15 minutes,
close the drain
valve. The air
receiver will fill to
"cut-out" pressure
and the motor will
stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.
Cooling System (not shown)
: This
compressor contains an advanced
design cooling system. At the heart of
this cooling system is an engineered
fan. It is perfectly normal for this fan
to blow air through the vent holes in
large amounts. You know that the
cooling system is working when air is
being expelled.
Air Compressor Pump (not shown):
Compresses air into the air tank.
Working air is not available until the
compressor has raised the air tank
pressure above that required at the air
outlet.
Drain Valve:
The drain valve is
located at the base of the air tank and
is used to drain condensation at the
end of each use.
Check Valve:
When the air
compressor is operating, the check
valve is "open", allowing compressed
air to enter the air tank. When the air
compressor reaches "cut-out"
pressure, the check valve "closes",
allowing air pressure to remain inside
the air tank.
