Operating Instructions
Operation
Safety Rules
1. Make sure all operators receive product training,
read and understand all instructions.
Keep all flammable,
combustible, poisonous and
noxious materials away from
operating area. Make sure
there are no oily rags, trash,
leaves, litter or other
combustible materials in operating area.
Keep suitable, fully charged fire
extinguishers nearby when servicing and
operating the compressor.
2.
NEVER allow modifications to the structure or
controls of this unit.
3. Keep all ignition sources away from exposed
electrical parts.
4. Keep all persons clear of 3-in-1
Compressor / Welder / Generator during start-up
and operation.
5. NEVER operate the compressor with the fan,
coupling or other guards removed.
6. DO NOT engage in horseplay with air hoses as
death or serious injury may result.
7. Make sure to provide adequate ventilation
and use proper lubricant while operating the
compressor. If lubricant or other combustible
substances are spilled, clean up immediately.
8. When checking or adding lubricant or when
refilling air line anti-icer systems with antifreeze
compound, shut off compressor and allow it to
cool. Keep sparks, flames and other ignition
sources away and DO NOT permit smoking in the
vicinity.
9. Stop compressor and disconnect power if a
hazardous condition arises.
10.
Wear snug-fitting clothing and confine long hair
when around compressor. Keep all body parts
and clothing away from couplings, flywheel and
other moving parts of the equipment.
Keep all persons away from
the discharge opening of
hoses or tools or other points
of compressed air discharge. If
the machine is installed in an
enclosed area, be sure to vent
the relief valve outside of the structure or to
an unoccupied area.
11. DO NOT use air tools that are rated below the
maximum rating of the compressor. Select
air tools, air hoses, pipes, valves, filters and
other fittings accordingly. DO NOT exceed
manufacturer’s rated safe operating pressures for
these items.
12. Make sure all hose connections are adequately
secured to prevent tools or hose ends from being
accidentally disconnected.
Thoroughly read and
understand engine owner’s
manual. Be sure to follow
manufacturer’s safety
precautions and proper
operating procedures.
Start-up
1. Consult the engine manual and be sure to follow
run-in procedure.
2. At every start-up, check oil level on the engine,
reduction gear and compressor pump. Do not rely
on the oil pressure shutdown system as a monitor
of the oil level.
3.
Do not over-fill the oil.
4. Check for proper belt tension. There should be
1/2 inch (12.7 mm) of slack
when
about
10 lb.
(4.5 kg)
of force is applied
(use your thumb) to
the twin drive belts
at
about halfway
between the
motor's
drive
pulley and the
driven
flywheel on
the compressor.
Refer to fig.10.
5.
Check that the tank condensate petcocks (Z, fig.1
and fig.2) are closed.
6. Pull the
safety pressure relief valve
ring before
each use to make sure the valve is functional. It
prevents dangerous excess pressure buildup in
the air tanks. Refer to JC, fig.6.
See maintenance section if adjustment is necessary.
Always make sure main
power is off before touching
belts or other moving parts of
compressor.
7.
Before the first start, add fresh gasoline to the
tank (see maintenance label for specifications).
Fill it to 5/8" (16 mm) below the gas tank filler
