Voltage and Circuit Protection
Refer to page 5 (Specification Chart) for the voltage and circuit protection requirements of your compressor. Use only a fuse or circuit breaker that is the same rating as the branch circuit the air compressor is operated on. If the compressor is connected to a circuit protected by fuses, use only dual element time delay fuses.
Break-in Procedure
Serious damage may result if the following
This procedure is required only once, before the air com- pressor is put into service.
1.Set the pressure switch "AUTO/O" lever in the "O" position for "Off".
2.Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
3.Do not attach hose to outlet. Leave the outlet open to the atmosphere.
4.Turn the regulator clockwise, opening it fully, to prevent air pressure
5.Move the "AUTO/O" lever to "AUTO". The com- pressor will start.
6.RUN THE COMPRESSOR FOR 15 MINUTES. Make sure the regulator is open and there is no tank pressure
7.After 15 minutes, close the regulator by turning it counterclockwise. The air tank will fill to
OPERATING PROCEDURES
1.Before attaching air hose or accessories, make sure the "AUTO/O" lever is set to “O” and the air regulator is closed.
2.Attach hose and accessories.
TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE CREATES A HAZARDOUS RISK OF BURSTING. CARE- FULLY FOLLOW STEPS 3 AND 5 BELOW EACH TIME THE COMPRESSOR IS USED.
6.Always operate the air compressor in
WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED:
7.Set the “AUTO/O” lever to “O”.
8.Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the outlet pressure to zero.
9.Remove the air tool or accessory.
Compressed air from the outfit may contain water condensation. Do not spray unfiltered air at an item that could be damaged. Some air operated tools or devices may require filtered air. Read the instructions for the air
tool or device.
3.Check the manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.
4.Turn the "AUTO/O" lever to “AUTO” and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank pressure reaches
5.Open the regulator by turning it clockwise. Adjust the regulator to the correct pressure setting. Your compressor is ready for use.
10.Open the regulator and allow the air to slowly bleed from the tank. Close the regulator when tank pressure is approximately 20 psi.
11.Drain water from air tank.
WATER WILL CONDENSE IN THE AIR
TANK. IF NOT DRAINED, WATER WILL
CORRODE AND WEAKEN THE AIR TANK
CAUSING A RISK OF AIR TANK RUPTURE.
NOTE:
If drain cock valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.
12.After the water has been drained, close the drain valve. The air compressor can now be stored.
