Operating Procedures, When YOU are Finished

OPERATING PROCEDURES

1.Before attaching air hose or accessories, make sure the "AUTO/O" lever is set to “O” and the air regulator is closed.

2.Make sure that nothing is blocking the belt guard air openings or air filter inlet.

3.Pull the ring on all safety valve to make sure the valve moves freely and smoothly.

4.Check the oil level; add oil if necessary.

5.Clean or blow off fins or any part of compressor that collects dust and dirt. Compressor will run cooler and provide longer service.

6.Before attaching an air hose or accessory make sure the pressure switch lever is in the "OFF" position. Close the air regulator outlet by turning it counterclockwise.

7.Attach hose and accessories.

TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE CREATES A HAZARDOUS RISK OF BURSTING. CARE- FULLY FOLLOW STEPS 3 AND 5 BELOW EACH TIME THE COMPRESSOR IS USED.

Compressed air from the outfit may contain water condensation. Do not spray unfiltered air at an item that could be damaged. Some air operated tools or devices may require filtered air. Read the instructions for the air tool or device.

8.Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outletpressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.

9.Turn the "AUTO/O" lever to “AUTO” and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank pressure reaches “cut-out” pressure.

10.Open the regulator by turning it clockwise. Adjust the regulator to the correct pressure setting. Your compressor is ready for use.

11.Always operate the air compressor in well-venti- lated areas; free of gasoline or other solvent vapors. Do not operate the compressor near the spray area.

WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED:

12.Set the “AUTO/O” lever to “O”.

13.Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the outlet pressure to zero.

14.Remove the air tool or accessory.

15.Open the regulator and allow the air to slowly bleed from the tank. Close the regulator when tank pressure is approximately 20 psi.

16.Drain water from air 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.

17.After the water has been drained, close the drain valve. The air compressor can now be stored.
