BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
Serious damage may result if the following break-in
instructions are not closely followed.
This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into service. (before the
hose is installed), the check valve is replaced, or a complete compressor pump is
replaced.
The procedure:
1. Make sure the pressure switch lever is in the "OFF" position.
2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
3. Open the drain valve fully to permit air to escape and prevent air pressure build
up in the air tank during the break-in period.
4. Move the pressure switch lever to "ON/AUTO". The compressor will start.
5. Run the compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure the drain valve is open and
there is minimal air pressure build-up in tank.
6. After 15 minutes, close the drain valve.
7. Move the pressure switch lever to "ON/AUTO". The air receiver will fill to cut-
out pressure and the motor will stop. The compressor is now ready for use.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
Daily Start-Up Checklist
1. Before attaching air hose or accessories, make sure the ON/AUTO lever is set to
“OFF” and the air regulator is closed.
2. Attach hose and accessories.
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.
3. Turn the ON/AUTO lever to “AUTO” and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will
stop when tank pressure reaches “cut-out” pressure.
4. Open the regulator by turning it clockwise. Adjust the regulator to the correct
pressure setting. Your compressor is ready for use.
5. Always operate the air compressor in well-ventilated areas free of gasoline or
other combustible vapors. If the compressoris being used to operate a sprayer
DO NOT use near the spray area.
When you are finished:
6. Set the “ON/AUTO” lever to “OFF”.
7. Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the outlet pressure to zero.
8. Remove the air tool or accessory.
9. Pull ring on safety valve allowing air to bleed from the tank until tank pressure is
approximately 20 psi. Release safety valve ring.
10. Drain water from air tank by opening drain cock valve on bottom of tank.
WATER WILL CONDENSE IN THE AIR TANK. IF NOT
DRAINED, WATER WILL CORRODE AND WEAKEN THE AIR TANK
CAUSING A RISK OF AIR TANK RUPTURE.
11. After the water has been drained, close the drain cock or drain valve. The air
compressor can now be stored.
NOTE
If drain cock valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then
be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.
