Precautions • Drain the moisture from the tank daily to help prevent corrosion. • Pull the pressure relief valve ring daily to ensure proper function and clear possible obstructions. • To provide proper ventilation for cooling, the compressor must be kept at least 12” (31 cm) from the nearest wall, in a well-ventilated area.
c. In cold climates, store portable compressors in a heated building when not in use. This will reduce problems with motor starting and freezing of water condensation. d. Remove the compressor from the shipping pallet or carton and place it on the floor or a hard, level surface.
Note: A circuit breaker is recommended. If the air compressor is connected to a circuit protected by a fuse, use dual element time delay fuses (Buss Fusetron type “1” only). Extension Cord Note: Avoid use of extension cords. For optimum performance, plug the compressor power cord directly into a grounded wall socket. Do not use an extension cord unless absolutely necessary.
6. After about 15 minutes, turn the pressure switch to the OFF position. 7. Close the air pressure regulator by turning it clockwise. Turn the pressure switch to ON. The tank will now fill. Note: As compressed air is used, the pressure switch will restart the motor automatically. Note: During the initial break-in cycle, there will be a slight electrical smell as the motor brushes seat.
Draining the Tank Relieve the air pressure in the system and open the drain valve on the bottom of the tank to drain. WARNING! CONDENSATION WILL ACCUMULATE IN THE TANK. TO PREVENT CORROSION OF THE TANK FROM THE INSIDE, THIS MOISTURE MUST BE DRAINED AT THE END OF EVERY WORKDAY.
TROUBLESHOOTING Note: Troubleshooting problems may have similar causes and solutions. PROBLEM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION • Low pressure - Close valve Tank Pressure Relief valve is open. • Prolonged excessive use of air. • Not enough air - Decrease use Compressor not large enough.
