AIR COMPRESSOR 11-GALLON (41.6 L) - 058-8386-8
4.
Plug in the power cord (K).
CAUTION!
Use a dedicated circuit.
For best performance and reliable starting, the air compressor should be plugged into a
dedicated circuit, as close as possible to the fuse box or circuit breaker.
The compressor will use the full capacity of a typical 14.5 A household circuit. If any other
electrical devices are drawing from the compressor’s circuit, the air compressor may fail
to start. Low voltage or an overloaded circuit can result in sluggish starting that causes the
motor overload protection system or circuit breaker to trip, especially in cold conditions.
NOTE:
A circuit breaker is recommended. If the air compressor is connected to a circuit
protected by a fuse, use dual element time delay fuses (type “T” only).
5.
Set the pressure switch (C) to the
ON
position. The compressor will start. Run the compressor for
30 minutes. If it fails, turn it off immediately and call the toll-free helpline at: 1-800-689-9928
Please note that breaking-in the unit is only required prior to first use.
ON
6.
After 30 minutes, turn off the pressure switch (C).
7.
Close the tank drain valve (I) by turning it clockwise.
CLOSE
8.
Set the pressure switch (C) to the
ON
position. The air receiver will fill to “cut-out” pressure and
then the compressor’s motor will stop. The compressor is now ready for use.
Before each start-up
1.
Set the pressure switch (C) to the
OFF
position.
2.
Turn the air pressure regulator knob (E) counter-clockwise until it stops.
3.
Attach hose and accessories.
WARNING!
Risk of bursting. Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk
of bursting. Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools and
accessories. The regulator outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure
rating.
How to start
WARNING!
If the pump has been transported or turned upside down (even
partially), allow the pump to sit in a normal, upright position for approximately 10
minutes before starting.
1.
Close the tank drain valve (I).
2.
Plug in the power cord (K).
3.
Set the pressure switch (C) to the
ON
position and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will stop
when tank pressure reaches “cut-out” pressure.
4.
Turn the air pressure regulator knob (E) clockwise until desired pressure is reached.
5.
The compressor is ready for use.
WARNING!
High temperatures are generated by the electric motor and the
pump. To prevent burns or other injuries, DO NOT touch the air compressor while it is
running. Allow it to cool before handling or servicing. Keep children away from the air
compressor at all times.
