WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
9. Ensure all covers and labels are in place, legible (for labels) and
securely mounted. Do not use compressor until all items have
been verified.
WARNING: Risk of bursting. Too much air pressure causes a
hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer’s maximum
pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet
pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.
Initial Set-up (Fig. 1)
WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you read and understand
this instruction manual for safety, operation and maintenance
instructions.
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
NOTICE: 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 for the first time and when the check valve or a compressor
pump/motor has been replaced.
1.
Ensure the On/Off switch (A) is in the OFF position.
NOTE: If hose is not connected to Quick Connect body, 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.
See
Voltage and Circuit Protection under Installation.
3. Open the drain valve (counter-clockwise) 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/Off switch to the ON position.
The compressor will
start.
5. Run the compressor for 20 minutes.
6. After 20 minutes, close the drain valve by turning clockwise.
The tank will fill to
cut-out pressure and the motor will stop.
7. Compressed air will be available until it is used or bled off.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
Start-up (Fig. 1)
1. Follow
Pre-Start Checklist under Preparation for Use.
2. Move the On/Off switch to the ON position
and allow tank
pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank pressure reaches
cut-out
pressure.
NOTICE: Compressed air from the unit may contain wa
ter
condensation and oil mist. Do not spray un fil tered air at an item
that could be damaged by moisture. Some air op er ated tools or
de vic es may require filtered air. Read the in struc tions for the air
tool or device.
3. Adjust regulator (D) to desired setting. See
Regulator under
Features.
Shut-down (Fig. 1)
1 Move
On/Off switch (A) is in the OFF position
.
NOTE: If finished
using compressor, follow Steps 2 - 6. Unplug unit when not in
use.
2. Turn regulator knob (D) counterclockwise until fully closed. Ensure
regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
3. Remove hose and accessory.
4. Drain the air tank, see
Draining Air Tank under Maintenance.
Ensure air tank pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
WARNING: Risk of bursting. Drain air tank daily. Water will
condense in air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken
the air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.
