Draining the TANKs, Quick-Connect, Coupler, Off

OPERATION

n Attach 1/4 in. NPT male connector fitting to accessory or

1/4 in. QUICK

tool you intend to use.

n Insert the other end of the male connector to the quick

coupler on the open end of hose.

WARNING:

QUICK-CONNECT

air fitting

COUPLER

Always ensure the switch is in the OFF (O) position and the regulator pressure gauge reads zero before changing air tools or disconnecting the hose from the air outlet. Failure to do so could result in possible serious personal injury.

nConnect the power cord to the power supply.

nTurn the switch ON ( l ).

nPull out and rotate pressure regulator knob to desired line pressure. Turning the knob clockwise increases air pressure at the outlet; turning counterclockwise reduces air pressure at the outlet.

nFollowing all safety precautions in this manual and the manufacturer’s instructions in the air tool manual, you may now proceed to use your air-powered tool.

warning:

Air powered tools may require more air consumption than this air compressor is capable of providing. Check the tool manual to avoid damage to the tool or risk of personal injury.

nControl the amount of air flow with the pressure regulator knob. Turning the knob fully counterclockwise will completely stop the flow of air.

NOTE: Always use the minimum amount of pressure necessary for your application. Using a higher pressure than needed will drain air from the tank more rapidly and cause the unit to cycle on more frequently.

nWhen finished, always drain the tank and unplug the unit. Never leave the unit plugged in and/or running unattended.

DRAINING THE TANKs

See Figure 11.

To help prevent tank corrosion and keep moisture out of the air used, the air tanks of the compressor should be drained daily.

NOTE: The air compressor has two separate tanks. Be sure to open drain valves for both and perform this operation for both tanks.

To drain:

nTurn the air compressor off.

nPull the ring on the pressure relief valve to release until pressure gauge reads less than 20 psi.

nRelease the ring.

nRotate drain valves counterclockwise to open.

nTilt tank to drain moisture from tank into a suitable container.

NOTE: Condensate is a polluting material and should be disposed of in compliance with local regulations.

nIf drain valves are clogged, release all air pressure, remove and clean valves, then reinstall.

warning:

Unplug the air compressor and release all air from the tanks before servicing. Failure to depressurize tanks before attempting to remove valve may cause serious personal injury.

nRotate drain valves clockwise until tightly closed.
