Operating Instructions and Parts List
4
DC0300, FP2090, FP2091, FP2094 Series
Improper use of grounding plug can result
in a risk of electrical shock. Plug must be
plugged into an outlet that is properly
installed and grounded in accordance with
local codes and ordinances
NOTE: Do not use grounding adapter.
2. Use only a 3-wire extension cord
that has a 3-blade grounding
plug, and a 3-slot receptacle that
accepts the plug on the product.
Make sure your extension cord
is not damaged. When using an
extension cord, be sure to use
one heavy enough to carry the
current your product draws. For
lengths less than 25ft. 18-3 AWG
extension cords shall be used. An
undersized cord results in a drop in
the voltage and loss of power and
overheating. (NOTE: Table 1 shows
the correct size to use depending
on cord length. When in doubt,
use the next heavier gauge. The
smaller the gauge number, the
heavier the cord.)
3. Check with a qualified electrician
or serviceman if the grounding
instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as to
whether the product is properly
grounded. Do not modify the
plug provided; if it will not fit the
outlet, have the proper outlet
installed by a qualified electrician.
If repair or
replacement of
the cord or plug
is necessary, do not connect the
grounding wire to either flat blade
terminal. The wire with insulation
having an outer surface that is green
with or without yellow stripes is the
grounding wire.
PLUGS AND RECEPTACLES
1. If the plug on the electrical cord of
the unit is unfamiliar to you or will
not fit your particular receptacle,
Figure 7 will help you understand
why by illustrating the different
plugs and the voltages they are to be
used with.
2. Make sure that the product is
connected to an outlet having the
same configuration as the plug.
3. The receptacles must be connected
to circuits rated to carry at least the
voltage and amperages shown.
4. NEVER have a receptacle replaced
with one of a higher amperage
before determining the change can
be made according to all electrical
codes affecting your particular area.
The installation should be made
by a qualified electrician. If the
products must be reconnected for
use on different types of circuits, the
re-connection should be made by
qualified personnel.
Overheating,
short
circuiting and fi re
damage will result from
inadequate wiring.
LUBRICATION
This is an oilless product and
DOES
NOT
require lubrication to operate.
Pre-Operation
BEFORE FIRST START-UP
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
(Complete this procedure before
using compressor for the first time.
Once completed, it is not necessary to
repeat.)
1. Turn regulator knob fully clockwise
(to the right) to open air fl ow.
2.
Do not
attach a hose or any other
fi tting to the compressor.
3. Turn
ON / OFF
switch to
OFF
position.
4. Plug in power cord.
5. Turn
ON / OFF
switch to
ON
position and run compressor for 30
minutes.
6. Turn
ON / OFF
switch to
OFF
position.
7. Unplug power cord.
The compressor is now ready for use.
BEFORE EACH START-UP
OPERATING PROCEDURE
1. Turn regulator knob fully
counterclockwise (to the left) to
close air fl ow.
2. Connect air hose to outlet of
regulator.
3. Turn
ON / OFF
switch to
OFF
position.
4. Plug in power cord.
5. Turn
ON / OFF
switch to
ON
position and let compressor run
until it reaches automatic shutoff
pressure.
6. Attach tire chuck or tool to end of
hose.
7. Turn regulator knob clockwise (to
the right) to desired pressure of
tool being used.
Operation
START-UP
Do not attach air
tools to open end
of the hose until start-up is completed
and the unit checks OK.
ON / OFF CYCLING OF COMPRESSOR
In the
ON / AUTO
position, the
compressor pumps air into the tank.
When a shut-off (preset “cut-out”)
pressure is reached, the compressor
automatically shuts off.
If the compressor is left in the
ON / AUTO
position and air is depleted
from the tank by use of a tire chuck,
tool, etc., the compressor will restart
automatically at its preset “cut-in”
pressure. When a tool is being used
continuously, the compressor will cycle
