COMPRESSOR OPERATION
INJURY HAZARD!
automatically. ALWAYS shut off the compressor,
remove the plug from the outlet, and bleed all pressure
from the tank before servicing the compressor, and
when the compressor is not in use.
1. Before each use, pull and release the Pressure Release
Safety Valve (Fig 4) to verify it is not stuck.
2. Plug the power cord into an appropriate 120 VAC, 60 Hz,
15 Amp minimum, grounded outlet.
3. Move the Power Switch to the "ON" position (Fig 2).
4. Allow the Tank pressure to build to 150 PSI [10.3 bar]
before each use. With the Air Compressor turned on,
operation is automatic and under the control of the internal
Pressure Controller. It will turn off @ 150 PSI [10.3 bar] and
automatically restart @ 120 PSI [8.3 bar].
The Pressure Gauge located on left side under the "ON/OFF" Pressure Switch indicates actual tank pressure (Fig 4).
The Pressure Gauge located on the right under the Regulator indicates regulated outlet pressure (Fig 4).
5. To Increase regulated output pressure, rotate the Regulator Knob Counter-clockwise. To decrease regulated output pressure, rotate the Regulator Knob
Clockwise (Fig 4).
USING THE PRESSURE RELEASE SAFETY VALVE MANUALLY
In addition to emergency over pressure relief function, the Pressure Release Safety Valve can be used when rapid tank air pressure release is desired. To do so:
1. Move the Power Switch to the "OFF" position and unplug Power Cord.
2. Pull and hold the Pressure Release Safety Valve ring to release pressure from the Tank (Fig 4).
3. When all pressure is released, release the ring on the Pressure Release Safety Valve.
CONDENSATION DRAIN
In normal use particularly in humid environments, moisture will condense and collect in the tank. It must be used daily to drain all accumulated moisture. Failure
to do causes internal tank corrosion, perforation and ultimate failure. Tank moisture draining procedure:
1. Move the Power Switch to the "OFF" position (Fig 2) and unplug Power Cord.
2. Pull and hold the Pressure Release Safety Valve ring to release pressure from the Tank until the Tank Pressure Gauge reads less than 20 PSI (Fig 2).
3. Slowly open the Drain Valve (Fig 1).
Only slightly open the water Drain Valve to blow air and moisture out of the Tank.
Opening it all the way or too quickly will cause contaminated water to be blown out at high velocity. Wear appropriate eye protection.
4. Drain moisture from tank into a suitable container.
Condensate is a polluting material and should be disposed of in compliance with local regulations.
If drain valve becomes clogged, release all air pressure, remove and clean valve, then reinstall.
