BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into service, before the
hose is installed, the check valve is replaced, or a complete compressor pump is
replaced.
Serious damage may result if the following break-in
instructions are not closely followed.
The procedure:
1. Make sure the pressure switch lever is in the "OFF" position.
2. Check air compressor wiring. Make sure wires are secure at all terminal
connections. Free all contacts of loose wire cuttings, ect.
3. Open the drain valve fully to permit air to escape and prevent air pressure build-
up in the air tank during the break-in period.
4. Move the pressure switch lever to "ON/AUTO". The compressor will start.
5. Run the air compressor for 30 minutes. Make sure the drain valve is open and
there is minimal air pressure build-up in tank.
6. After 30 minutes move the pressure switch lever to the OFF position, check oil
and add if necessary.
7. Close the drain valve.
8. Move the pressure switch lever to "ON/AUTO". The air receiver will fill to cut-
out pressure and the motor will stop.
Your air compressor is now ready for use.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
Daily Start-Up Checklist
1. Check oil and add if necessary.
2. Before attaching an air hose or accessory, make sure the shut-off valve is in the
closed position. Make sure the ON/AUTO lever is in the OFF position.
Compressed air from the unit may contain water
condensation and oil mist. Do not spray unfiltered air at an item that
could be damaged by moisture. Some air operated tools or devices
may require filtered air. Read instructions for air tool or device.
3. Attach regulator, hose and accessory. On models without an air pressure
regulator, one must be installed before using accessories rated at less than 135
psig.
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.
4. Place the pressure switch lever in the ON-AUTO position. The motor will stop
when air tank pressure reaches "cut-out pressure".
5. Open the shut-off valve.
6. If an air pressure regulator is in use, open the regulator by turning it clockwise.
Adjust the regulator to the correct pressure setting. Your unit is ready for use.
When You Are Finished:
7. Turn the air compressor unit off.
8. Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the outlet pressure to zero.
9. Remove the air tool or accessory.
