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.
Cooling System (not shown): This
compressor contains an advanced
design cooling system. At the heart of
this cooling system is an engineered
fan. It is perfectly normal for this fan
to blow air through the vent holes
in large amounts. You know that the
cooling system is working when air is
being expelled.
Air Compressor Pump (not shown):
Compresses air into the air tank.
Working air is not available until the
compressor has raised the air tank
pressure above that required at the
air outlet.
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.
Before Starting
Break-in Procedure
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/Auto/Off lever
is in the "OFF" position.
NOTE: Pull coupler back until it clicks
to prevent air from escaping through
the quick connect.
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 fully
(counter-clockwise) to permit
air to escape and prevent air
pressure build up in the air tank
during the break-in period.
4. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to
"ON/AUTO" 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 (clockwise). The air receiver
will fill to "cut-out" pressure and
the motor will stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.
