WARNING: If you notice any unusual noise or vibration, stop this compressor.

2.Adjustment of working pressure

The air pressure coming from the air tank is controlled by the regulator knob (Fig. 5). Turn the pressure regulation knob clockwise to increase discharge pressure, and counterclockwise to decrease discharge pressure.

MAINTENANCE

Fig. 5

The outlet pressure gauge indicates the air pressure available at the outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the regulator and is always less or equal to the air tank pressure.

The air tank pressure gauge indicates the reserve air pressure in the air tank(s).

When adjusting the pressure, check and make sure that a pressure gauge for the tank has the pressure level that is higher than that of the pressure to be adjusted.

It is also imperative that you make adjustment by slowly starting up the pressure from the level that is lower than the pressure to be adjusted.

WARNING: Always stop the engine and pull out the spark plug cap to prevent any sudden start of the engine and remove this compressed air from the air tank before performing the maintenance operations.

Read the instruction manual before performing maintenance. The following procedures must be performed when stopping this compressor for maintenance or service.

A)Turn off this compressor.

B)Disconnect spark plug wire from engine.

C)Open all drains.

D)Wait for this compressor to cool down before starting service.

WARNING: Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for nailers, staplers and accessories. Compressor outlet pressure must be regulated so as to never exceed the maximum pressure rating of the nailers, staplers and accessories.

3.Shutdown

A)To stop this compressor, move the engine switch to the “Off” position. (Refer to the Engine Manual accompanying this unit.)

B)Gradually open the drain cock, take out the drainage and all the compressed air inside the tank to prevent any internal corrosion of the tank. (Fig. 6)
