OPERATING PROCEDURES
1.Before attaching air hose or accessories, make sure the OFF/AUTO lever is set to “OFF” 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 EACH TIME THE COMPRESSOR IS USED.
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 regula- tor outlet pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating. If your compressor is not supplied with a regulator with gauge, install one before using accessories.
4.Turn the OFF/AUTO 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.
6.Always operate the air compressor in
Do not operate the compressor near the spray area.
When you are finished:
7.Set the “OFF/AUTO” lever to “OFF”.
8.Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the outlet pressure to zero.
9.Remove the air tool or accessory.
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.
With tank pressure at approximately 20 psi, open the drain cock or drain valve.
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 drain cock or drain valve. The air compressor can now be stored.
