FP202800, FP202900
Installation (Continued)
Improper
use of
grounding plug can result in
a possible risk of electrical
shock!
Do not use a
grounding adapter
with this product!
2. If repair or replacement of cord or
plug is necessary, do not connect
grounding wire to either fl at blade
terminal. The wire with insulation
having an external surface that
is green (with or without yellow
stripes) is the grounding wire.
Never
connect
green (or green
and yellow) wire to a live terminal.
3. Check with a qualifi ed electrician
or serviceman if grounding
instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt as
to whether product is properly
grounded. Do not modify plug
provided; if it will not fi t outlet,
have proper outlet installed by a
qualifi ed electrician.
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
on and off automatically.
In the
OFF
position, the pressure
switch cannot function and the
compressor will not operate. Make
sure switch is in
OFF
position when
connecting or disconnecting power
cord from electrical outlet.
PRESSURE GAUGES
Gauge attached to regulator indicates
air pressure going to hose (and any
tool attached to end of hose).
Gauge attached to pressure switch
indicates air pressure in tank.
MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR
Moisture in compressed air will
form into droplets as it comes
from an air compressor pump.
When humidity is high or when
a compressor is in continuous use
for an extended period of time,
this moisture will collect in the
tank. When using a paint spray or
sandblast gun, this water will be
carried from the tank through the
hose, and out of the gun as droplets
mixed with the spray material.
IMPORTANT:
This condensation
will cause water spots in a paint
job, especially when spraying
other than water based paints. If
sandblasting, it will cause the sand
to cake and clog the gun, rendering
it ineffective.
A fi lter in the air line, located as
near to the gun as possible, will
help eliminate this moisture.
