OPERATING PROCEDURES
1.Before attaching an air hose or accessory, make sure the outlet valve is in the closed position. On units equipped with a pressure switch lever make sure the switch is in the OFF position.
Compressed air from the outfit may contain water condensation and oil mist. Do not spray unfiltered air at an item that could be dam- aged by moisture or oil mist. Some air oper- ated tools or devices may require filtered air. Read instructions for air tool or device.
2.Attach regulator, hose and accessory. On models without an air pressure regulator, one must be installed before using accessories.
When You Are Finished:
6.Turn the compressor unit 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 pressure is approximately 20 psi.
10.Open the drain cock valve underneath the tank and drain water from air tank. Collect the water in a suitable containter. Continue operating unit until all moisture is removed from the air tank.
TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE CAUSES A HAZ- ARDOUS RISK OF BURSTING. CHECK THE MANUFACTURER'S MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING FOR AIR TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES. THE REGULATOR OUTLET PRESSURE MUST NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING.
3.Turn the compressor on and allow tank pressure to build. On units equipped with a pressure switch lever, place the switch in the
4.Open the outlet valve.
5.If an air pressure regulator is in use, open the regulator by turning it clockwise. Adjust the regulator to the correct pressure setting. Your outfit is ready for use.
