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
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 build-up in the tank.
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
build-up.
7. After 15 minutes, close the regulator by turning it
counterclockwise
. The air tank will fill to cut-out
pressure and then the motor will stop.
Serious damage may result if the following
break-in instructions are not closely followed.
This procedure is required only once, before the air com-
pressor is put into service.
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.
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 “cut-out” pressure.
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 well-ventilated
areas; free of gasoline or other solvent vapors. Do not
operate the compressor near the spray area.
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.
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.
12. After the water has been drained, close the drain
valve. The air compressor can now be stored.
NOTE:
If drain cock valve is plugged, release
all air pressure. The valve can then be
removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.
