Ryobi YN301PL1 Draining the Tank, Checking the Safety Valve, To disconnect a coiled air hose

OPERATION

nAllow unit to reach max pressure as indicated on the tank pressure gauge.

nSet regulator to desired pressure by rotating pressure regulator knob. The regulator pressure will appear on the gauge marked as outlet.

To disconnect a coiled air hose:

nConfirm that the outlet pressure is at zero (0) psi.

nWhen disconnecting a hose from 1/4-in. quick coupler, always firmly hold release end of hose.

nPull back on the release sleeve on the 1/4-in. quick coupler.

nWith a firm grip, pull out the quick-connect air fitting that is attached to the quick coupler.

attaching or Disconnecting PNEUMATIC TOOLs from THE AIR COMPRESSOR

NOTE: Each tool is different. Refer to manufacturer’s instruction before operating a tool in the seated position.

using the air compressor

See Figure 11, page 18.

WARNING:

Risk of bursting. Do not adjust regulator to result in output pressure greater than marked maximum pressure of attachment and/or the item being inflated. Never use at pressure greater than 135 psi. Failure to heed this warning could result in possible serious personal injury.

DRAINING THE Tank

See Figure 12 - 13, page 18.

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

To drain:

nTurn the air compressor off, as shown in the shut down section of the quick reference label.

nPull the ring on the safety valve to release until pressure gauge reads less than 20 psi, as shown in the shut down section of the quick reference label.

nRelease the ring.

nRotate drain valves counterclockwise to open, as shown in the shut down section of the quick reference label.

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 valve is clogged, release all air pressure, remove and clean valve, then reinstall.

warning:

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

nRotate drain valve clockwise until tightly closed.

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.

nFollow the instructions in “Connecting Hoses to the Air Compressor.”

nControl the amount of air flow with the pressure regulator knob. Turning the knob fully counterclockwise will completely stop the flow of air, as shown in the start up section of the quick reference label.

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.

checking the Safety Valve

See Figure 12, page 18.

danger:

Do not attempt to tamper with the safety valve. Anything loosened from this device could fly up and hit you. Failure to heed this warning could result in death or serious personal injury.

The safety valve will automatically release air if the air tank pressure exceeds the preset maximum. The valve should be checked before each day of use by pulling the ring by hand.

nTurn the air compressor on and allow the tank to fill. The compressor will shut off when the pressure reaches the preset maximum.

nTurn the air compressor off.

nPull the ring on the safety valve to release air for three to five seconds to allow pressurized air to escape. Release the ring. The safety release valve must reset and hold pressure before all compressed air is exhausted from the tank/pressure vessel.
