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.
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.
3. Close the tank shut-off valve then open the drain valve
fully to permit air to escape and prevent air pressure buildup
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 air tank drain valve.
8. Move the pressure switch lever to “ON/AUTO”. The air
receiver will fill to cutout 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 tools may
require filtered air. Read instructions for air tool or device.
3. Attach regulator, hose and accessory. An air pressure
regulator, must be installed before using accessories rated
at less than 175 psi.
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 for the tool or
accessory.
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 then remove the air tool or accessory.
9. Open the regulator and allow the air to slowly bleed from
the air tank. Close the regulator when air tank pressure is
approximately 20 psi.
10. Open the drain valve underneath the air tank and
drain water from air tank. if the air compressor is under
continuous use, drain at least once each day. if the air com-
pressor is only used occasionally, drain after each use.
11.After the water has been drained, close the drain valve.
