Break-In
Procedures
Sedous damage may result if the following
break*in instructions are not closely followed.
This procedure
is required only once; before the air
compressor
is put into service. Some form of piping or
shut-off valve must be installed before beginning the
break-in procedure.
A 1/2" NPT shut-off globe valve
should be installed at the air compressor
tank. Do not
use a ball valve.
1.
2.
Recheck compressor wiring. Make sure wires are
secure at all terminal connections. Free all contacts.
of loose wire cuttings, etc.
Check oil level in the crankcase before operation.
The oil level should be even with the top of the fill
hole and must not be allowed to be lower than 3/8"
(six threads down) from the top at any time. Add oil
if level is low.
3.
Open the shut-offvalve
fully, to permit air toescape
and to prevent pressure build-up in the air tank.
4.
Turn ON the air compressor.
5.
Run the air compressor for 30 minutes to seal the
rings and lubricate all internal surfaces.
6.
Check all air line fittings and connections/piping
for
air leaks by applying a soap solution. Correct as
necessary.
Even minor leaks can cause this air
compressor
to overwork, resulting in premature
break-down or inadequate performance.
7.
Check for excessive vibration and noise. Adjust air
compressor
belt guard as necessary to eliminate
chatter. Re-adjust or shim the air compressor feet,
if necessary for proper level.
8.
Close the shut-off valve and let the air compressor
pump up to cut-out pressure. Turn the air compres-
sor off and check oil level. Add oil if necessary.
Connect the air hose to the air outlet adapter.
Your compressor
is now ready for use.
OPERATING
PROCEDURES
1.
Before attaching an air hose or accessory, make
sure the pressure switch OFF/AUTO lever is in the
"OFF" position.
2.
Attach hose and accessory.
Compressed air from the outfit may contain water
condensation and oil misL 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.
TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE
CAUSES A HAZ-
ARDOUS
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.
3.
Turn the compressor on and allowtank pressure to
build. The motor will stop when tank pressure
reaches cut-out pressure.
Your outfit is ready for use.
MAINTENANCE
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
PERF_)RMING
MAINTENANCE
OR REPAIR, TURN OFF AND
LOCK OUT ELECTRIC
POWER AND BLEED OFF AIR TANK PRESSURE.
NEVER OPERATE THE
COMPRESSOR
WITH THE BELT GUARD
REMOVED.
Air Compressor
A clean air compressor runs cooler and provides longer
service. Clean or blow off fins and any other parts of the
air compressor that collect dust or dirt. Do not place
rags, containers
or other material on or against the
ventilation openings in the belt guard. Adequate ventila-
tion is necessary to maintain proper air compressor
operating temperature.
