- INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES (cont'd) -
GROUNDING INSTRUCTION (cont'd)
NOTE
If repairing or replacing cord or plug, the grounding wire must
** is not uncommon for the air tank to contain
beJkgBt separate from the current-carrvinq wires.
Never
some water from the testing of the tank at the
connect the grounding wire to a flat blade plug terminal. The
factory.
grounding wire has insulation with an outer surface that is
green - with or without yellow stripes.
Break-in Procedures
If these grounding instructions are not completely understood,
or if in doubt as to whether the compressor is
properly
grounded, have the installation checked by a qualified electri-
Additional Regulators and Controls
Since the air tank pressure is usually greater than that which is
needed, a separate regulator is usually employed to control the
air pressure ahead of any individual air driven device.
Separate air transformers which combine the function of air
regulation, moisture and dirt removal should be used where
applicable.
ACAUTION
Serious damage may result if the following break-
in instructions are not closely followed.
This procedure is required:
1.
Before the air compressor is put into service.
2.
When the check valve is replaced.
3.
When a complete compressor pump is replaced.
a.
Set the pressure switch lever to the "OFF" position.
b.
Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit
receptacle.
c.
Turn the drain valve clockwise, opening it fully, to
prevent air pressure build-up in the tank.
d.
Move the pressure switch lever to "ON/AUTO".
The compressor will start.
e.
Run the compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure
the drain valve is open and there is
little tank pressure build-up.
f.
After 15 minutes, close the drain valve by turning
it completely counterclockwise. The air receiver
will fill to cut-out pressure and the motor will stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.
-OPERATING PROCEDURES
Daily Start-Up Checklist
When you are finished:
1.
Before attaching air hose or accessories, make sure the
pressure switch lever is set to "OFF" and the air regulator
or shut-off valve is closed.
2.
Attach hose and accessories.
AWARNING
TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE CAUSES A HAZARDOUS
RISK OF BURSTING. CHECK THE MANUFACTURER S
MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING FOR AIR TOOLS AND
ACCESSORIES. THE REGULATOR OUTLET PRES¬
SURE MUST NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PRES¬
SURE RATING.
3.
Turn the pressure switch lever to "ON/AUTO" and allow
tank pressure to build.
Motor will stop when tank
pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure.
4.
Open the regulator by turning it clockwise. Adjust the
regulator to the correct pressure setting. Your compres¬
sor is ready for use.
5.
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.
6. Set the pressure switch lever to "OFF".
7. Using the air tool or accessory, bleed the tank pressure
down to approximately 20 psi.
8. Remove the air tool or accessory.
9. Drain water from air tank by opening drain cock valve on
bottom of 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.
10. After the water has been drained, close the drain cock or
drain valve. The air compressor can now be stored.
