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.
Initial Set-up (Fig. 1)
WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you read and understand
this instruction manual for safety, operation and maintenance
instructions.
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
WARNING: Risk of property damage. 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 (A) is in the OFF position.
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 15 minutes.
6. After 15 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 pres-
sure 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.
NOTE: When the unit has been turned off, it is normal to hear a short
hiss of air being released.
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.
