CHECKING AIR FILTER ELEMENT

WARNING: Aftercooler, pump head, and surrounding parts are very hot. Do not touch (see Hot Surfaces on page 4).

1.Ensure that the unit is off.

2.Allow the unit to cool.

3.Unscrew the filter from pump head by turning counter clockwise.

4.Separate the filter body into two halves.

5.If the element needs cleaning blow out with air. Replace air filter assembly if unsure whether element can be cleaned sufficiently.

6.Reconnect the filter body.

7.Screw the filter into pump head by turning clockwise until the filter is hand tight.

TURNING THE UNIT ON

Follow the pre-start and start-up procedures in the operating procedure section.

TURNING THE UNIT OFF

Follow the shut-down procedures in the operating procedures section.

ADJUSTING THE REGULATOR

1.Pull the regulator knob out. (For D55155 compressor)

2.Turn the knob clockwise to increase regulated pressure and counter clockwise to decrease regulated pressure.

3.When desired pressure is shown on the regulated pressure gage, push the knob in to lock it. (For D55155 compressor)

INSTALLING HOSES

WARNING: Firmly grasp the hose when installing or disconnect- ing to prevent hose whip.

1.Ensure that the regulated pressure gage reads 0 PSI.

2.Grasp the hose at the coupler.

3.Pull back the collar on the female quick-connect coupler located on the compressor.

4.Push the male connector into the female connector.

5.Release the female connector.

6.Grasp hose and pull to ensure couplers are seated.

7.Adjust regulator to desired pressure.

DISCONNECTING HOSES

WARNING: Firmly grasp the hose when installing or disconnect- ing to prevent hose whip.

1.Ensure that the regulated pressure gage reads 0 PSI.

2.Grasp the hose at the coupler.

3.Pull back the collar on female quick-connect coupler located on the compressor.

4.Pull the male connector out of the female connector.

5.Release the female connector.

DRAINING THE TANK

WARNING: The tank contains high pressure air. Keep the outlet of drain away from face and other body parts. Use safety glasses when draining because debris can be kicked up into face. Use ear protection because air flow noise is loud when draining.

NOTE: All compressed air systems generate condensate that accumulates in any drain point (e.g. tanks, filter, aftercoolers, dryers). This condensate contains lubricating oil and/or substances which may be regulated and must be disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations.

1.Ensure that the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position.

2.Move the compressor into an inclined position so that the drain valve(s) are at the lowest point This will assist in removing moisture, dirt, etc. from the tanks.

3.Place a suitable container under the drain to catch discharge.
