DeWalt D55690, D55695 Break-in Procedure This procedure is required, Recoil Start

Break-in Procedure

CAUTION: Risk of property damage. Serious damage may result if the following break-in instructions are not closely followed.

This procedure is required:

•	Before the air compressor is used for the first time.
•	When the unloader valve has been replaced.
•	When the compressor pump has been replaced.
The procedure:
1.	Follow Pre-Start Checklist under Preparation for Use.

2.	Rotate the unloader's manual lock to the open position to
	prevent air tank pressure buildup.
3.	Open the pressure regulator. Pull regulator knob (F) out and rotate
	clockwise until it stops.
4.	Prepare engine for first time use, see engine's instruction manual
	for correct procedure.
5.	Place the fuel valve lever (O) in the ON postion.

b. Place engine START/RUN/OFF switch (C) in the START position and hold until the engine starts.

NOTE: Do not hold the switch in the START position for more than 5 seconds. If the engine does not start, wait 10 seconds before retry- ing. Failure to follow these instructions may result in damage to the starter motor due to overheating.

c. When the engine starts, release the engine switch allowing it

6.If the engine is cold, move the choke (N) to the CLOSED position as shown. If the engine is hot, move the choke to the open position.

to return to the RUN position.

NOTE: Do not turn the engine switch to the START position while the engine is running.

Note: If the oil level in the engine is low, the engine will not start. If the engine does not start, check the oil level and add oil as needed.

NOTE: To ensure maximum oil lubrication, place the unit on a level surface.

8. As the engine warms up, move the choke to the open position.

b.Warning: Risk of unsafe operation. Pull starter grip slowly until resistance is felt. Then pull starter grip (P) rapidly to avoid kickback and prevent hand or arm injury.

Note: Do not allow the starter grip to snap back. Return it gently by hand.

9.	Run the air compressor for 30 minutes to seat the rings and
	lubricate all the internal surfaces. Ensure there is no pressure
	build up in the air tank by observing the reading on the air tank
	pressure gauge.
10.	Rotate the manual lock on the unloader valve into the closed
	position so the air tank pressure can build.
