Preparation For Use; Break-In Procedure - DeWalt D55151 Guide D'utilisation

MOVING
When moving the compressor, grasp the handle and carry the
compressor as close to the body as possible.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Ensure proper footing and
use caution when carrying compressor to avoid a loss of balance.

PREPARATION FOR USE

Pre-Start Checklist (Fig. 1)
1. Ensure the On/Off switch (A) 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 (H) is closed.
5. Ensure safety valve (G) is functioning properly, see Checking
Safety Valve under Maintenance.
6. Check pump oil level, see Compressor Pump Oil under
Maintenance.
CAUTION: Do not operate without oil or with inadequate oil. D
is not responsible for compressor failure caused by inadequate oil.
7. Turn regulator knob (D) counterclockwise until fully closed.
Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
8. Attach hose and accessories.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
9. Ensure all covers and labels are in place, legible (for labels) and
securely mounted. Do not use compressor until all items have
been verified.
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: 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 compres-
sor 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 valves (counter-clockwise) fully to permit air
WALT
e
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 20 minutes.
6. After 20 minutes, close the drain valves 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.
