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 Auto/On/Off switch is in the "OFF" position. 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 (counterclockwise) to permit air to escape and prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during the break-in period. 4. Set the Auto/On/Off switch to "AUTO/ON" position. The compressor will start. 5. Run the compressor for 5 minutes. Make sure the drain valve is open and there is minimal air pressure build-up in tank. 6. After 5 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. Before Each Start-Up: 1. Set Auto/On/Off switch to "OFF". 2. Turn regulator knob counterclockwise until it stops. 3. Attach hose and accessories. 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. A05581 12- ENG How to Start: 1. Set the Auto/On/Off switch to "AUTO/ON" and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure. 2. Turn regulator knob clockwise until desired pressure is reached. The compressor is ready for use. NOTE: Always operate the air compressor in well-ventilated areas free of gasoline or other combustible vapors. If the compressor is being used to operate a sprayer DO NOT place near the spray area. MAINTENANCE Customer Responsibilities Before each use Daily or after each use Check Safety Valve . Drain Tank . To Check Safety Valve If the safety valve does not work properly, over- pressurization may occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion. Before starting compressor, pull the ring on the safety valve to make sure that the safety valve operates freely. If the valve is stuck or does not operate smoothly, it must be replaced with the same type of valve. To Drain Tank 1. Set the Auto/On/Off switch to "OFF". 2. Turn regulator knob counterclockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero. 3. Remove the air tool or accessory. 4. Pull ring on safety valve allowing air to bleed from the tank until tank pressure is approximately 20 psi. Release safety valve ring. 5. Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve (counter-clockwise) on bottom of tank. NOTE: Tilt tank forward to drain tank completely. 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. 6. After the water has been drained, close the drain valve (clockwise). The air compressor can now be stored. NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled. ALL MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OPERATIONS NOT LISTED MUST BE PERFORMED BY TRAINED SERVICE TECHNICIAN. 13- ENG A05581 STORAGE Before you store the air compressor, make sure you do the following: 1. Review the "Maintenance" section on the preceding pages and perform scheduled maintenance as necessary. 2. Set the Auto/On/Off lever to "OFF". 3. Turn regulator knob counterclockwise and set the outlet pressure to zero. 4. Remove the air tool or accessory. 5. Pull ring on safety valve allowing air to bleed from the tank until tank pressure is approximately 20 psi. Release safety valve ring. 6. Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve on bottom of 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. 7. After the water has been drained, close the drain valve. NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled. 8. Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage (such as being stepped on or run over). Wind them loosely around the compressor handle. (If so equipped) 9. Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location. A05581 14- ENG TROUBLESHOOTING Performing repairs may expose voltage sources, moving parts or compressed air sources, moving parts or compressed air sources. Personal injury may occur. Prior to attempting any repairs, unplug the air compressor and bleed off all air tank air pressure. PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION Thermal Low voltage Extension cord is wrong overload length or gauge. Check protector cuts extension cord. out repeatedly Improper ventilation/ temperature too high Defective check valve Defective valves Operate compressor in a well ventilated area.
