V1.0 9 Gallon Twin-Tank Wheelbarrow Portable Air Compressor
BEFORE FIRST USE
1. Check that all screws are tight.
2. Check that the tension rods are tight (see Care & Maintenance –
Month). This must be done again after the first hour of use.
3. When starting an engine driven unit with air pressure in the tank, flip
the pilot valve's (D) toggle to the horizontal position. This will unload
the compressor and allow the engine to start easier.
4. When the engine has run for a few minutes, flip the toggle back to its
original position.
5. New compressors should be run with approximately 80 PSI of air
pressure in the tank for 1 hour to break-in (use regulator to control
tank pressure). This will allow the compressor time to warm up and
seat the rings.
PRE-START CHECKLIST
CHECK SAFETY VALVE
DANGER! If air leaks after the ring has been released, or if the valve is stuck
and cannot be actuated by the ring, do not use the air compressor until the
safety valve has been replaced. Use of the air compressor in this condition
could result in the tank bursting causing serious personal injury or death.
See Specific Safety Precautions: Bursting.
1. Turn the air compressor on and allow the air tank (G) to fill to 30 PSI.
2. Turn the air compressor off.
3. Pull the ring on the safety valve (E) to release air for twenty seconds.
4. Release the ring. Air must immediately stop escaping when the ring is
released. Any continued loss of air after releasing the safety valve ring
indicates a problem with the safety valve. Discontinue use and seek
service before continued use of the air compressor.
BEFORE EACH USE
WARNING! Never assume a compressor is safe to work on just because it is
not operating. It could restart at any time.
1. Make sure that the compressor is turned off.
2. Check the lubricant level (see Lubrication).
3. Make sure all safety valves are correctly installed.
