Ensure that adequate lifting equipment is available for moving the air compressor.
Remove the parts and accessories from the packaging and inspect for damage. Make sure that
all items in the parts list are included.
IDENTIFICATION KEY
1.
Safety-Relief Valve
The air compressor is
equipped with a safety-relief
valve that is designed to
discharge tank pressure at a
predetermined setting when a
systems failure occurs. Check
the safety valve periodically
by pulling on the ring only
when the tank pressure is
completely drained.
The spring loaded valve
should move freely within the
safety valve body. An
inoperable safety valve could
allow an excessive amount of
tank pressure to build causing
the air tank to catastrophically
rupture or explode.
Do not tamper with or
attempt to eliminate the
safety relief valve.
2.
Pressure Gauge(s)
Gauges to measure tank or storage pressure and another gauge attached to the regulator
that indicates output or working pressure.
3.
Drain Valves
One or more drain valves are installed to allow moisture to be drained on a daily basis from
the compressor storage tanks. Open drains carefully and slowly to prevent scale, rust or
debris from becoming expelled at a high rate of speed.
4. Air Intake Filter
Air intake filters are installed to prevent foreign matter from entering the engine or
compressor pump. Check intake elements on a regular basis and either clean or replace as
needed. Warm soapy water or low compressed air may be used to clean the elements.
Check intake canisters or elbow components for cracks or broken seals and replace if
structural problems are found.
5.
Pilot-Unloader Valve
A pilot-unloader valve is used on all gas-powered units. When the storage tank reaches the
top pressure setting of the pilot valve, the air being compressed is discharged to
atmosphere instead of into the storage tank. When the tank pressure drops to the low
pressure setting of the pilot valve, the compressed air will be redirected to the air tank. Do
not attempt to replace the pilot valve without first draining the tank pressure completely.
Refer to Pilot Valve Adjustment section for adjustment and fine-tuning instructions. Do not
adjust above the following factory recommendations.
