manual abstract
The air tank will fill to cut-out pressure and then the motor will stop. Refer to Operating Procedures. OPERATING 1. Before attaching air hose or accessories, make sure the OFF/AUTO lever is set to “OFF” and the air regulator is closed. (Close it by turning it counterclockwise.) 2. Attach hose and accessories. WARNING TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE CREATES A HAZARDOUS RISK OF BURSTING. CAREFULLY FOLLOW STEPS 3 AND 5 EACH TIME THE COMPRESSOR IS USED. PROCEDURES 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 OFF/AUTO 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 “OFF-AUTO” lever to “OFF”. 8. Turn the regulator counter-clockwise 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. WARNING 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. With tank pressure at approximately 20 psi., open the drain cock and allow moisture to drain. NOTE If drain cock valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled. 12. After the water has been drained, close the drain cock. The air compressor can now be stored. MAINTENANCE WARNING 1 UNIT CYCLES AUTOMATICALLY WHEN POWER IS ON. WHEN DOING MAINTENANCE, YOU MAY BE EXPOSED TO VOLTAGE SOURCES, COMPRESSED AIR OR MOVING PARTS. PERSONAL INJURIES CAN OCCUR. BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR, UNPLUG THE COMPRESSOR AND BLEED OFF ALL AIR PRESSURE. Air Filter - Inspection NOTE Keep the air filter clean at all times. Do not operate the compressor with the air filter removed. A dirty air filter will not allow the compressor to operate at full capacity. Before you use the compressor, check the air filter to be sure it is clean. If it is dirty, simply pull it out. You may wash it with a mild detergent and warm water, or replace it. Check Valve - Replacement 1. Release all air pressure from air tank and unplug outfit. 2. Remove shroud. 3. Loosen the top and bottom nuts and remove the outlet tube. 4. Remove the pressure release tube and fitting. 5. Unscrew the check valve (turn counterclockwise) using a socket wrench. 6. Check that the valve disc moves freely inside the check valve and that the spring holds the disc in the upper, closed position. The check valve may be cleaned with a solvent, such as paint and varnish remover. 7. Apply sealant to the check valve threads. Reinstall the check valve (turn clockwise). 8. Replace the pressure release tube and fitting. 9. Replace the outlet tube and tighten top and bottom nuts. 10. Replace the shroud. Safety Valve - Inspection WARNING IF THE SAFETY VALVE DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY, OVER-PRESSURIZATION MAY OCCUR, CAUSING AIR TANK RUPTURE OR AN EXPLOSION. OCCASIONALLY PULL THE RING ON THE SAFETY VALVE T0 MAKE SURE THAT THE SAF=Tv VALVE OPERATES FREELY. IF THE /ALVE IS STUCK OR DOES NOT OPERATE SMOOTHLY, IT MUST BE REPLACED WITH THE SAME TYPE OF VALVE. Motor The motor has an automatic reset thermal overload protector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the overload protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be allowed to cool down before restarting. The compressor will automatically re-start after the motor cools. If the overload protector shuts the motor off frequently, check for a possible voltage problem. Low voltage can also be suspected when: 1. the motor does not get up to full power or speed; 2. fuses blow out when starting the motor; lights dim and remain dim when motor is started and is running. STORAGE Before you store the air compressor, make sure you do 2. Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage the following: (such as being stepped on or run over). Wind them loosely around the compressor handle. 1. Review the “Maintenance” section on the proceeding pages and perform maintenance as necessary. Be Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location, sure to drain water from the air tank. TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE WARNING PERFORMING REPAIRS MAY EXPOSE VOLTAGE SOURCES, MOVING PARTS, OR COMPRESSED AIR SOURCES. PERSONAL INJURY MAY OCCUR. PRIOR TO ATTEMPTING ANY REPAIRS UNPLUG THE COMPRESSOR AND BLEED OFF TANK AIR PRESSURE. PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION Excessive Tank pressure -safety valve pops off. Pressure switch does not shut off motor when com...
