Test Run & Break-In Period; Daily Operation - California Air Tools 210DLV Owner's Manual

test run
before using the air compressor for the first time, complete a test
run as follows:
1. Turn the power switch to the OFF position. Make sure the
drainage valve is in the off position. Plug the power supply
cord into a power supply socket. Start the air compressor by
turning the power switch to the ON position. The pressure
gauge reading will slowly rise as pressure increases inside the
air tank. When the gauge reading reaches 120 - 125 PSI, the
pressure switch will automatically turn the power off. This
indicates that the compressor is working normally. Run the
compressor for a minimum of twenty (20) minutes in the no-
load condition to lubricate the bearings and pistons, and to
seat the piston rings.
2.
Turn the power switch to the Off position, unplug the power
supply cord and release the air in the tank by pulling on the
safety valve. At this point proceed to the next step (daily
operations) starting the air compressor to continue to use.
note: If the Air Compressor is not working properly, the
pressure gauge will indicate that there is a decrease in
pressure in the air tank. If there is an air leak from the
compressor the pressure in the air tank decreases, the
pressure switch resets and the motor automatically turns
back on.
If you detect an air leakage, turn the power switch to the
Off position, release the air from the tank by pulling on
the safety valve. unplug the power supply cord and contact
Customer Support for Assistance.
WARNING
HOT SURFACE
Air compressor surfaces become hot during
operation.
DO NOT touch hot surfaces, because they can cause
severe burns.
Do not touch the air compressor's cylinder head.
During operation, the cooling fins of the cylinder
head and delivery pipe become hot.
Allow the air compressor to cool before touching it.
DO NOT place a storage cover on the unit during
operation. Only place a cover on the air compressor
after it has thoroughly cooled down.

WARNING
FLYING OBJECTS
Flying objects can cause injury to the eyes, head and
other parts of the body.
Air-powered equipment and power tools are capable
of propelling items (metal chips, fasteners and
particulates) at high speed into the air and could
result in injury.
Always wear approved head and eye protection.
Never point the air stream at any part of your body,
or at another person or animal.
When operating the air compressor, make sure all
other people and animals maintain a safe distance.
Do not move the air compressor when the air tank is
under pressure.
Never use the air hoses to pull or move the air
compressor.
Keep the air compressor on a flat surface.

daily operation

Starting the compressor:
1. Turn the power switch to the OFF position.
2. Attach the air hose to the 1/4" quick connect coupler
3. Close the drainage valve and check oil level.
4. Turn the regulator knob completely to the left.
This will turn down the pressure at the air hose before starting.
5. Plug the power supply cord into a power supply socket.
6. Turn the power switch to the ON position.
7. Let the motor run and tank fill until motor turns off.
8. Turn the regulator knob to the right increasing the
pressure at the hose. Turn the pressure up until the
desired pressure at the air hose is reached.
9. Operate air tool normally.
10. Only operate continously for 1 hour maximum.
Allow compressor to cool down before restarting.
Shutting down the compressor:
1. Turn the power switch to the OFF position.
2. unplug the power supply cord.
3. Reduce the pressure in the air tank through the air supply
hose.
