14 Electric Air Compressor Manual
PRE-START CHECKLIST:
1. Check oil level, add if necessary.
2. Remove any moisture in the air compressor air tank. NEVER attempt to
open the Air Tank Drain Valve when more than 10 PSI of air pressure is
in the air tank! Remove excessive pressure with an air tool, then open the
air tank drain valve in the bottom of the air tank. Close tightly when drained.
3. Make sure the pressure switch is in the "OFF" position.
4. Make sure the safety relief valve is working correctly.
5. Make sure all guards and covers are in place and securely mounted.
START-UP:
1. Read safety warnings before performing operation.
2. Ensure the pressure switch is in the "OFF" position.
3. Plug the power cord into a grounded outlet.
4. Move the switch on the pressure switch box to the "ON" position. This will
allow the air compressor to start building up pressure in the air tanks. You
will hear an air leak for the rst 20-50 seconds until the easy start valve closes.
This will stop when correct pressure is achieved. When pressure drops with
usage, the air compressor will start automatically.
5. Set pressure by adjusting the pressure regulator knob counterclockwise for
less pressure and clockwise for more pressure.
6. If you notice any unusual noise or vibration, stop the air compressor and refer
to "Troubleshooting".
SHUTDOWN:
1. To stop the air compressor, move the switch on the pressure switch box to
the "OFF" position. Never stop the air compressor by unplugging it from the
power source. This could result in risk of electrocution or damage to unit.
2. Drain air from the air tanks by releasing air with an attached air tool or by pulling
on the Safety Relief Valve.
3. Once the Air Tank Pressure Gauge registers under 10 pounds, open the Air Tank
Drain Valve under each air tank to drain any moisture.
4. Allow the air compressor to cool down.
5. Wipe the air compressor clean and store in a safe, non-freezing area with the
cord coiled up and protected from accidental damage.
