Break-in Procedures
INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN
PROCEDURES
Grounding Instructions
Additional Regulators and Controls
Since the air tank pressure is usually greater than that
which is needed, a regulator is employed to control the
air pressure ahead of any individual air driven device.
Separate air transformers which combine the function of
air regulation, moisture and dirt removal should be used
where applicable.
This procedure is required:
1.
Before the air compressor is put into service.
2. When the check valve is replaced.
a. Set the pressure switch lever to the "OFF"
position.
b. Plug the power cord into the correct branch
circuit receptacle.
c. Turn the regulator clockwise, opening it fully, to
prevent air pressure build-up in the tank.
d. Move the pressure switch lever to "ON/AUTO".
The compressor will start.
e. Run the compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure
the regulator is open and there is no tank
pressure build-up.
f. After 15 minutes, close the regulator by turning
knob counterclockwise. The air receiver will fill
to cut-out pressure and the motor will stop. The
compressor is now ready for use.
Serious damage may result if the
following break-in instructions are
not closely followed.
The air compressor is equipped with a cord having a
grounded wire with 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. See illustration. DO NOT USE AN ADAPT-
ER.
Inspect the plug and cord before each use. Do not use if
there are signs of damage.
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.
If repairing or replacing cord or plug, the grounding wire
must be kept separate from the current-carrying wires.
Never connect the grounding wire to a flat blade plug
terminal. The grounding wire has insulation with an outer
surface that is green - with or without yellow stripes.
If these grounding instructions are not completely under-
stood, or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is
properly grounded, have the installation checked by a
qualified electrician.
IMPROPER GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK! IN THE EVENT
OF A SHORT CIRCUIT, GROUNDING REDUC-
ES THE RISK OF SHOCK BY PROVIDING AN
ESCAPE WIRE FOR THE ELECTRIC CURRENT.
THIS AIR COMPRESSOR MUST BE PROPERLY
GROUNDED.
