Grounding instructions
WARNING
Ì
If these grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if you are not sure your compressor is
properly grounded, have the installation checked by a
qualified electrician.
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IN THE EVENT OF A
SHORT CIRCUIT, GROUNDING REDUCES
THE RISK OF SHOCK BY PROVIDING AN
ESCAPE WIRE FOR THE ELECTRIC CUR­
RENT. THIS AIR COMPRESSOR MUST BE
PROPERLY GROUNDED.
1 . The air compressor is equipped with a cord having a
grounding wire and an appropriate grounding plug.
The plug must be used with an outlet that has been
installed and grounded in accordance with all local
codes and ordinances. The outlet must have the
same configuration as the plug. DO NOT USE AN
ADAPTER.
2. Do not modify the plug that has been provided. If it
does not fit the available outlet, the correct outlet
should be installed by a qualified electrician.
3. Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use
the compressor if there are signs of damage.
OUTLET PLUG
ADANGER
ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD. WHEN
REPAIRING OR REPLACING THE CORD OR
PLUG, KEEP THE GROUNDING WIRE SEPA­
RATE FROM THE CURRENT-CARRYING
WIRES. NEVER CONNECT THE GROUND­
ING WIRE TO A FLAT BLADE PLUG TER­
MINAL. (THE GROUNDING WIRE HAS
INSULATION WITH AN OUTER SURFACE
THAT IS GREEN - WITH OR WITHOUT YEL­
LOW STRIPES.)
OPERATING
1. Before attaching an air hose or accessory, make
sure the pressure switch lever is in the “OFF” posi­
tion. Close the air regulator outlet by turning it
counter-clockwise.
2. Attach hose and accessory.
WARNING
1
TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE CAUSES A
HAZARDOUS RISK OF BURSTING. CARE­
FULLY FOLLOW STEPS 3 THROUGH 12
EACH TIME THE COMPRESSOR IS USED.
Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating
for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet
pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure
rating.
CAUTION
Compressed air from the outfit may contain
water condensation and oil mist. Do not
spray unfiltered air at an item that could be
damaged. Some air operated tools or
devices may require filtered air. Read the
1-1^0
Break-in Procedures
Serious damage may result if the following
break-in
instructions are not closely
followed.
This procedure is required only once, before the air com­
pressor is put into service.
1. Set the pressure switch lever to the “OFF” position.
2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit
receptacle.
3. Turn the regulator clockwise opening it fuiiy, to prevent
air pressure build-up in the tank.
4. Move the pressure switch lever to “ON/AUTO”. The
compressor will start.
5. Run the compressor for 30 minutes. Make sure the
regulator is open and there is no tank pressure build­
up.
6 . After 30 minutes, close the regulator by turning it
counter-clockwise. The air receiver will fill to cut-out
pressure and the motor will stop. The compressor is
now ready for use.
PROCEDURES
4. Turn the pressure switch lever to the “ON-AUTO”
position and allow tank pressure to build. The motor
will slop when tank pressure reaches cut-out
pressure.
5. Open the regulator by turning it clockwise. Adjust the
regulator to the correct pressure setting. (See pg. 6
for regulator instructions.) Your outfit is ready for use.
When You Are Finished:
6
. Set the pressure switch lever to “OFF”.
7. Turn the regulator counter-clockwise and set the out­
let pressure to zero.
8 . Remove the air too! or accessory.
9. Open the regulator and allow the air to slowly bleed
from the tank. Close the regulator when tank pres­
sure is approximately 20 psi.
10. Drain water from air tank.
