Operating Procedures - DeWalt D55153 Guide D'utilisation

NOTE: If hose is not connected to Quick Connect body, pull
coupler back until it clicks to prevent air from escaping through the
quick connect.
2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. See
Voltage and Circuit Protection under Installation.
3. Open the drain valve (counter-clockwise) fully to permit air to
escape and prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during the
break-in period.
4. Move the On/Off switch to the ON position. The compressor
will start.
5. Run the compressor for 120 minutes.
6. After 120 minutes, close the drain valve by turning clockwise. The
tank will fill to cut-out pressure and the motor will stop.
7. Compressed air will be available until it is used or bled off.

OPERATING PROCEDURES

Start-up (Fig. 1)
1. Follow Pre-Start Checklist under Preparation for Use.
2. Move the On/Off switch to the ON position and allow tank
pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank pressure reaches
cut-out pressure.
CAUTION: Risk of unsafe operation. Compressed air from the unit
may contain wa ter condensation and oil mist. Do not spray un fil tered
air at an item that could be damaged by moisture. Some air op er ated
tools or de vic es may require filtered air. Read the in struc tions for the
air tool or device.
3. Adjust regulator (D) to desired setting. See Regulator
under Features.
Shut-down (Fig. 1)
1 Move On/Off switch (A) is in the OFF position. NOTE: If finished
using compressor, follow Steps 2 - 6.
2. Turn regulator knob (D) counterclockwise until fully closed. Ensure
regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
3. Remove hose and accessory.
4. Drain the air tank, see Draining Air Tank under Maintenance.
Ensure air tank pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
WARNING: Risk of bursting. Drain air tank daily. Water will con-
dense in air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the air
tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.
5. Allow the compressor to cool down.
6. Wipe air compressor clean and store in a safe, non-freezing area.
MAINTENANCE
The following procedures must be followed when maintenance or
service is performed on the air compressor.
1. Ensure On/Off switch is in the OFF position.
2. Remove air compressor plug from outlet.
3. Drain air tank.
4. Allow air compressor to cool down before starting service.
NOTE: All compressed air systems contain maintenance parts (e.g.,
oil, filters, separators) that are periodically replaced. These used parts
may contain substances that are regulated and must be disposed of in
accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
NOTE: Take note of the positions and locations of parts during
disassembly to make reassembly easier.
NOTE: Any service operations not included in this section should be
performed by a D WALT factory service center or a D
e
service center.
