OPERATION

BEFORE OPERATING YOUR NEW AIR COMPRESSOR please check the following points carefully:

1 Check that all nuts and bolts are secure.

2. Make sure oil has been properly added to compressor. (See Installing Oil and Oil Breather Cap section.)

Initial Start-Up Procedure

1. Open the Air Tank Drain Valve to permit air to escape, preventing air pressure buildup in the air tank.

2. Run the compressor for a minimum of 20 minutes in this “no-load” position to lubricate the piston and bearings.

3. Close Air Tank Drain Valve. Your compressor is ready for use.

Depending on the CFM draw of the tools being operated, your new Air Compressor can be used for operating paint sprayers, air tools, grease guns, airbrushes, caulking guns, abrasive blasters, tire & plastic toy inflation, spraying weed killer and insecticides, etc. Proper adjustment of the Air Pressure Regulator is necessary for all of these operations. Refer to the air pressure specifications provided with the tool you are using.

General Overview

To compress air, the piston moves up and down in the cylinder. On the down stroke air is drawn in through the valve inlet. The discharge valve remains closed. On the upstroke of the piston air is compressed. The inlet valve closes and air is forced out through the discharge valve, through the check valve, and into the air tank. Working air is not available until the compressor has raised the tank
