Ryobi 0209835, Original Instructions Manual

Page: 7 / 20

WARNING
Always remove the battery pack from the tool when you
are assembling parts, making adjustments, cleaning, or
when the product is not in use. Removing the battery
pack will prevent accidental starting that could cause
serious personal injury.
WARNING
Do not use in an environment which is dusty or otherwise
contaminated. Using the air compressor in this type of
environment may cause damage to the product.
Adjusting the air pressure
See page 10.
1. Make sure the on/off switch is in the OFF (O) position
and the battery pack is removed.
2. Connect the battery pack to the product.
3. Press the on/off switch to the ON (I) position.
4. Pull the pressure regulator knob outward to enable
adjustment.
5. Rotate pressure regulator knob to the desired pressure.
Turning the knob clockwise increases air pressure
at the outlet. Turning counterclockwise reduces air
pressure at the outlet. Push the pressure regulator
knob to disable adjustment.
6. Following all safety precautions in this manual and the
manufacturer’s instructions in the air tool manual, you
may now proceed to use your air-powered tool.
WARNING
Air powered tools may require more air consumption
than this air compressor is capable of providing. Check
the tool manual to avoid damage to the tool or risk of
personal injury.
7. Control the amount of air flow with the pressure
regulator knob. Turning the knob fully counterclockwise
will completely stop the flow of air.
NOTE: Always use the minimum amount of pressure
necessary for your application. Using a higher pressure
than needed will drain air from the tank more rapidly
and cause the unit to cycle on more frequently.
8. To turn the air compressor off, press the power switch
to the OFF (O) position.
NOTE: When the compressor is in the ON (I) position,
the air compressor will automatically turn on when the
designated tank air pressure drops below the preset
pressure limit. It will also shut off again when the
desired pressure is reached.
WARNING
Never exceed the air tool’s pressure rating as
recommended by the manufacturer. When using this
air compressor as an inflation device, always follow the
maximum inflation guidelines stated by the manufacturer
of the item being inflated.
WARNING
Always ensure the on/off switch is in the OFF (O)
position and the regulator pressure gauge reads zero
before changing air tools or disconnecting the hose from
the air outlet. Failure to do so could result in possible
serious personal injury.
9. When finished, always drain the tank and remove the
battery pack. Never leave the product operating or
connected to the battery pack.
DRAINING THE AIR TANK
See page 11.
To prevent tank corrosion and keep moisture out of the
air tank, the air tank of the compressor should be drained
daily.
To drain the air tank:
1. Make sure the on/off switch is in the OFF (O) position.
2. Remove the battery pack.
3. Rotate the safety valve counterclockwise until the tank
pressure gauge reads less than 1.4 bar (20 PSI).
4. Turn the drain valve lever counterclockwise to drain the
moisture.
NOTE:
Condensate is a polluting material and should
be disposed of in compliance with local regulations.
5. Turn the drain valve lever clockwise to close the drain
valve.
6. Rotate the safety valve clockwise to close.
RESET BUTTON
When current into the air compressor motor exceeds the
specified unit, the air compressor will automatically shut off.
To reset the air compressor:
1. Remove the battery pack.
2. Turn off the product.
3. Wait three minutes for the motor to cool.
4. Press the reset button.
5. Connect the battery pack to the product.
6. Turn on the product.
TRANSPORTATION AND STORAGE
See pages 12-13.
1. Make sure the on/off switch is in the OFF (O) position.
2. Remove the battery pack.
3. Run the air tool to relieve the air pressure in the hose,
then remove the air hose and the air tool.
4. Turn the drain valve lever counterclockwise to open
until the Tank pressure gauge reads less than 1.4 bar
(20 PSI).
5. Drain water from the tank as instructed in “Draining the
air tank” section.
6. Clean the product with a dry cloth.
7. Wrap the air hose around the hose wrap brackets.
8. Carry the product by the carrying handle.
9. Store the air compressor in its normal operating position
in a dry and protected area.
