Operating Procedures; Maintenance - Bostitch CAP1615-OF Instruction Manual

Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose in hand when installing or discon-
necting to prevent hose whip.
Risk of unsafe operation. Do not use damaged or worn accessories.
Risk of Bursting. Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of bursting.
Check the manufacturer's maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regu-
lator outlet pressure setting must never exceed the maximum pressure rating of the tool or
accessory.
START-UP (FIG. 1)
1. Follow Pre-Start Checklist under Preparation for Use.
2. Move the Auto/Off switch (A) to the AUTO position and allow tank pressure to build.
Motor will stop when tank pressure reaches cut-out pressure.
Risk of Property Damage. Compressed air from the unit may contain wa ter
condensation and oil mist. Do not spray un fil tered air at an item that could be damaged by
moisture. Some air op er ated tools or de vic es may require filtered air.
Read the in struc tions for the air tool or device.
3. Adjust regulator (D) to desired setting. See Regulator under Features.
SHUT-DOWN (FIG. 1)
1. Move Auto/Off switch (A) to the OFF position.
NOTE: If finished using compressor, follow Steps 2–6.
NOTE: When the unit has been turned off, it is normal to hear a short hiss of air being released.
NOTE: Unplug unit when not in use.
2. Pull the regulator knob (D) out and turn counterclockwise until fully closed.
Ensure Regulated Pressure Gauge (C) reads 0 psi. Push knob in to lock in place.
3. Remove hose and accessory.
Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose in hand when installing or
disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
4. Drain the air tank, see Draining Air Tank under Maintenance. Ensure Air Tank Pressure
Gauge (B) reads 0 psi.
Risk of bursting. Drain air tank daily. Water will condense in air tank. If not
drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.
5. Allow the compressor to cool down.
6. Wipe air compressor clean and store in a safe, non-freezing area.
The following procedures must be followed when maintenance or service is performed on the
air compressor.
1. Ensure Auto/Off switch is in the OFF position.
2. Remove air compressor plug from outlet.
3. Drain air tank.
4. Allow air compressor to cool down before starting service.
NOTE: All compressed air systems contain maintenance parts (e.g., oil, filters, separators) that
are periodically replaced. These used parts may contain substances that are regulated and must
be disposed of in accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
NOTE: Take note of the positions and locations of parts during disassembly to make reassembly easier.
NOTE: Any service operations not included in this section should be performed by a BOSTITCH
factory service center or a BOSTITCH authorized service center.
