ground. Always store compressor in a horizontal position.

PREPARATION FOR USE

Pre-Start Checklist (Fig. 1)
1. Ensure the On/Off switch (C) is in the OFF position.
2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
See Voltage and Circuit Protection under Installation.
3. Ensure air tank is drained, see Draining Air Tank under
Maintenance.
4. Ensure the drain valve (J) is closed.
5. Ensure safety valve (I) is functioning properly, see Checking
Safety Valve under Maintenance.
6. Check pump oil level, see Compressor Pump Oil under
Maintenance.
CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Do not operate without oil or
with inadequate oil. D WALT is not responsible for compressor failure
E
caused by inadequate oil.
7. Turn regulator knob (F) counterclockwise until fully closed. Ensure
regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
8. Visually inspect drive belt. Replace belt if frayed, cracked, or worn.
NOTE: Outer belt cover must be removed to inspect drive belt.
9. Visually inspect air hose, replace if needed.
10. Attach hose and accessories.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
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.
11. Ensure all covers and labels are in place, legible (for labels) and

BREAK-IN PROCEDURE

WARNING: 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 for the first time and when the check valve or a compressor
pump/motor has been replaced.
1. Ensure the On/Off switch (C) is in the OFF position.
2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
See Voltage and Circuit Protection under Installation.
3. Open the drain valve (counterclockwise) fully to permit air to
escape and prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during
the break-in period.
4. (D55170, D55180) Rotate the manual lock pilot valve lever to the
open position to assist with start up.
