Break-in Procedure

Serious damage may result if the following break-in
instructions are not closely
1. Before attaching air hose or accessories, make
sure the "AUTO/O" lever is set to "O" and the air
regulator is closed.
2. Attach hose and accessories.
TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE CREATES A HAZ-
ARDOUS RISK OF BURSTING. CARE-FULLY
FOLLOW STEPS 3 AND 5 BELOW EACH TIME THE
COMPRESSOR IS USED.
Compressed air from the outfit may contain water
condensation. Do not spray unfiltered air at an item
that could be damaged. Some air operated tools or
devices may require filtered air. Read the instructions
for the air tool or device.
3. Check the manufacturer's maximum pressure rating
for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet
pressure must never exceed the maximum
pressure rating.
4. Turn the "AUTO/O" lever to "AUTO" and allow tank
pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank
pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure.
5. Open the regulator by turning it clockwise. Adjust
the regulator to the correct pressure setting. Your
compressor is ready for use.
6. Always operate the air compressor in well-
ventilated areas; free of gasoline or other solvent
vapors. Do not operate the compressor near the
spray area.
followed.

OPERATING PROCEDURES

9 — ENG
The procedure is required only once, before the com-
pressor is put into service. Operate the compressor
with the regulator or globe valve fully open for 15min-
utes. Make sure that no pressure is building in the
tank. After 15 mintues, close the regulator or globe
valve and allow the tank to fill to cut-out pressure and
then the motor will stop. Your compressor is now
ready for use.
WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED:
7. Set the "AUTO/O" lever to "O".
8. Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the
outlet pressure to zero.
9. Remove the air tool or accessory.
10. Open the regulator and allow the air to slowly
bleed from the tank. Close the regulator when
tank pressure is approximately 20 psi.
11. Drain water from air tank.
WATER WILL CONDENSE IN THE AIR TANK. IF NOT
DRAINED, WATER WILL CORRODE AND WEAKEN
THE AIR TANK CAUSING A RISK OF
AIR TANK RUPTURE.
NOTE:
If drain cock valve is plugged, release all air
pressure. The valve can then be removed,
cleaned, then reinstalled.
12. After the water has been drained, close the drain
valve. The air compressor can now be stored.
