Maintenance; Maintenance Schedule; Draining The Tank; Checking The Safety Valve - PRO-POINT C151S Manuel Du Propriétaire

WARNING
To avoid personal injury, always shut off and unplug the
compressor and relieve all air pressure from the system before performing any
service on the air compressor.
WARNING
To ensure efficient
operation and longer life of the
air compressor unit, a routine
maintenance schedule should be
followed. The following schedule is
geared toward a consumer whose
compressor is used in a normal
working environment on a daily basis.
CAUTION
This compressor is
equipped with an automatic reset
thermal overload protector which will shut off motor if it becomes overheated. If
the thermal overload protector is actuated, the motor must be allowed to cool
down before start-up is possible.
NOTE: To reset the motor overload, turn the power switch to the OFF position
and unplug the unit from the power outlet. Allow 10 minutes (minimum) for motor
overload cut-out to cool and reset. Unit can then be plugged in and re-started.

DRAINING THE TANK

WARNING
Condensation will accumulate in the tank. To prevent corrosion
of the tank from the inside, this moisture must be drained at the end of every
workday. Be sure to wear protective eyewear and hearing protection. Relieve the
air pressure in the system and open the drain valve on the bottom of the tank and
tilt tank to drain.
NOTE: In cold climates, drain the tank after each use to reduce problems with
freezing of water condensation.

CHECKING THE SAFETY VALVE

Check the safety valve by performing these three steps:
1. Plug the compressor in and run until shut-off
pressure is reached.
2. Wearing safety glasses and hearing protection, pull out on the safety valve
ring to release pressure from the tank.
3. The safety valve should close automatically at approximately at 40-50 PSI.
If the safety valve does not allow air to be released when you pull out
on the ring, or does not close automatically, it must be replaced.

STORAGE

For storing the air compressor, be sure to do the following:
1. Turn the unit off and unplug the power cord from the receptacle.
2. Remove all air hoses, accessories, and air tools from the air compressor.
3. Perform the daily maintenance schedule.
4. Open the drain valve to bleed all air from the tank.
5. Close the drain valve.
6. Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage (such as being stepped
on or run over). Wind them loosely around the compressor handle.
