INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES

Break-in Procedures

Serious damage may result if the fol- lowing 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.

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 counterclockwise. The air receiver will fill to cut- out pressure and the motor will stop. The compressor is now ready for use.

OPERATING PROCEDURES

1.Before attaching air hose or accessories, make sure the OFF/AUTO lever is set to “OFF” and the air regulator or shut-off valve is closed.

2.Attach hose and accessories.

TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE CAUSES A HAZARD- OUS RISK OF BURSTING. CHECK THE MANU- FACTURER'S MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING FOR AIR TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES. THE REGU- LATOR OUTLET PRESSURE MUST NEVER EX- CEED THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING. ON MODELS HAVING ONLY A SHUT-OFF VALVE, YOU MUST INSTALL A REGULATOR BEFORE USING ACCESSORIES RATED AT LESS THAN

125PSIG.

3.Turn the OFF/AUTO lever to “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 com- pressor 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 a paint spray area.

When you are finished:

6.Set the “OFF/AUTO” lever to “OFF”.

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

8.Remove the air tool or accessory.

9.Open the regulator and allow the air to slowly bleed from the tank. Close the regulator when tank pres- sure is approximately 20 psi.

10.Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve underneath the 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 valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.

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