BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
WARNING:
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.
2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. See
Voltage and Circuit Protection
under
Installation
.
3. Open the drain valve (counterclockwise) 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.

CAUTION:
Risk of unsafe operation. 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-

using compressor, follow Steps 2 - 6.
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 con-
dense in air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the
air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.
5. Allow the compressor to cool down.
