Drain

Valve

Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at

the base of the air tank and is

used to drain

condensation at the end of each use.

Check Valve: When the air compressor is operating, the check valve is "open", allowing compressed air to enter the air tank. When the air compressor reaches "cut-out" pressure, the check valve "closes", allowing air pressure to remain inside the air tank.

Check Valve

How to Use Your Unit

How to Stop:

1.Set the On/Off switch to OFF (O).

Before Starting

Break-in Procedure

Risk of Unsafe Operation.

Serious damage may result if the following break-in instructions are not closely followed.

This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into service and when the check valve or a complete compressor pump has been replaced.

1.Make sure the On/Off switch is in the OFF (O) position.

2.Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. (Refer to Voltage and Circuit Protection paragraph in the Installation section of this manual.)

3.Open the drain valve (counter- clockwise) fully to permit air to escape and prevent air pressure

build up in the air tank during the break-in period.

4.Move the On/Off switch to ON (I) position. The compressor will start.

5.Run the compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure the drain valve is open and there is minimal air pressure build-up in tank.

6.After 15 minutes, close the drain valve by turning clockwise. The air receiver will fill to "cut-out" pressure and the motor will stop.

The compressor is now ready for use.

Before Each Start-Up:

1.Set the On/Off switch to OFF (O).

2.Turn the regulator knob counter- clockwise to set the outlet pres- sure to zero.

3.Attach hose and accessories. NOTE: The hose or accessory will require a quick connect plug if the air outlet is equipped with a quick connect socket.

Risk of Bursting. Too much air

pressure causes a hazardous 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.

How to Start:

1.Set the On/Off switch to ON (I) and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank pres- sure reaches "cut-out" pressure.

2.Turn regulator knob clockwise to

increase pressure and stop when desired pressure is reached.

The compressor is ready for use.
