On/Off Cycling Of Compressor - FScurtis FCT02C48H9X-A1X1XX Instructions D'utilisation Et Manuel De Pièces

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (CONTINUED)
Compressor Use
It is extremely important to operate the compressor in a clean, well-ventilated area
where the surrounding air temperature will not be more than 100 degrees F. Do not
located the compressor air inlet near steam, paint spray, sandblast areas or any
other source of contamination.

On/Off Cycling of Compressor

Risk of Bursting. Drain tank every day to prevent corrosion and possible
injury due to tank damage. Do not operate drain with more than 40 psi in tank
or drain valve may be damaged. Drain tank of moisture daily using the drain
valve in the bottom of the tank.
Unit care and maintenance. Drain liquid from tank daily.
In the AUTO position, the compressor pumps, the compressor pumps air into
the tank. When a shut-off (preset "cut-out") pressure is reached, the compressor
automatically shuts off.
If the compressor is left in the AUTO position and air is depleted from the tank by
use of a tire check, tool, etc., the compressor will restart automatically at is preset
"cut-in" pressure. When a tool is being used continuously, the compressor will cycle
on and off automatically.
In the OFF position, the compressor will not operate.
Drain tank. Disconnect, tag, unplug and lock out power source; release pressure.
Drain moisture from tank by opening drain valve underneath tank. (Figure 5)
Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets as it comes from an air compressor pump. When humidity is high or
when a compressor is in continuous use for an extended period of time, this moisture will collect in the tank. When using
a paint spray or sandblast gun, this water will be carried from the tank through the hose, and out of the gun as droplets
mixed with the spray material.
IMPORTANT: This condensation will cause water spots in a paint job, especially when spraying other than water based
paints. If sandblasting, it will cause the sand to cake and clog the gun, rendering it ineffective.
A filter or air dryer in the air line, located as near to the gun as possible, will help eliminate moisture.
