Operation
WARNING:
Drain the tank every day to prevent corrosion
and possible injury due to tank damage.
For optimal performance of the manual tank drain, the
tank pressure should be between 40-50 psi. Do not
operate the manual drain with more than 40 psi in the
tank or the drain valve may be damaged. Drain the tank
of moisture daily using the manual drain valve or by
installing the electric drain at the bottom of the tank.
ON/OFF CYCLING OF THE COMPRESSOR
MOISTURE IN COMPRESSED AIR
The air compressor unit (A) is designed to cycle on and
off. With the pressure switch knob in the AUTO position, the
compressor pumps air into the tank. When the shut-off (preset
“cut-out”) pressure is reached, the compressor automatically
shuts off.
If the compressor is left in the 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 in use, the compressor will cycle on and off automatically
as needed to maintain air pressure in the tank.
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.
Follow the tank draining instructions in the Maintenance
section of this manual.
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 filter in
the air line, located as near to the gun as possible, will
help eliminate this moisture.
IMPORTANT:
Drain liquid from the tank daily.
