Extension
Cords
It is preferable
to use extra air hose instead of an exten-
sion cord to avoid voltage
drop and power loss to the
motor, and to prevent overheating,
If an extension
cord
must be used, be sure it is:
• 12 gauge (AWG) or heavier.
(Wire size increases
as
gauge number
decreases.
10 AWG and 8 AWG
may also be used.
DO NOT USE 14 OR 16 AWG.)
• a three-wire
extension
cord that has a three connec
tor grounding
plug, and a three-slot
receptacle
that
will accept
the plug.
• no longer than 50 feet
• in good condition
Break-in Procedure
Serious
damage
may result if the following
break-in
instructions
are not closely fol-
lowed.
This procedure
is required only once, before the air com-
pressor
is put into service.
1. Set the pressure
switch
"AUTO/O"
lever in the
"O" position
for "Off".
2. Plug the power cord into the correct
branch circuit
receptacle.
3. Do not attach hose to outlet. Leave the outlet open
to the atmosphere.
4. Turn the regulator
clockwise,
opening
it fully, to
prevent air pressure
build-up
in the tank.
5. Move the "AUTO/O"
lever to "AUTO".
The com-
pressor will start.
6. RUN THE COMPRESSOR
FOR 15 MINUTES.
Make sure the regulator
is open and there is no tank
pressure
build-up.
7. After 15 minutes,
close the regulator
by turning it
counterclockwise.
The air tank will fill to cut-out
pressure
and then the motor will stop.
1.
Before
attaching
air hose or accessories,
make
sure the "AUTO/O"
lever is set to "O" and the air
regulator
is closed.
2.
Attach
hose and accessories.
TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE
CREATES
A
HAZARDOUS
RISK OF BURSTING. CARE-FULLY
FOLLOW STEPS 3 AND 5 BELOW EACH TIME
THE COMPRESSOR
IS USED.
Compressed
air from the outfit may contain water
condensation.
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.
3. Check the manufacturer's
maximum
pressure
rating
for air tools and accessories.
The regulator
outlet
pressure
must
never exceed the maximum
pressure
rating.
4. Turn the "AUTO/O"
lever to "AUTO"
and allow tank
pressure
to build.
Motor
will stop when tank
pressure
reaches
"cut-out"
pressure.
5. Open the regulator
by turning
it clockwise.
Adjust
the regulator
to the correct
pressure setting.
Your
compressor
is ready for use.
6.
Always
operate
the air compressor
in well-
ventilated
areas; free of gasoline or other solvent
vapors.
Do not operate
the compressor
near the
spray
area.
WHEN
YOU ARE FINISHED:
7.
Set the "AUTO/O"
lever to "O".
8.
Turn the regulator
counterclockwise
and set the
outlet
pressure to zero.
9.
Remove the air tool or accessory.
10. Open the regulator
and allow the air to slowly
bleed from the tank.
Close the regulator
when
tank pressure
is approximately
20 psi.
11. Drain water from air tank.
12.
WATER WILL CONDENSE IN THE AIR TANK. IF
NOT DRAINED, WATER WILL CORRODE AND
WEAKEN THE AIR TANK CAUSING A RISK OF
AIR TANK RUPTURE.
NOTE:
If drain cock valve is plugged, release all air
pressure. The valve can then be removed,
cleaned, then reinstalled.
After the water
has been drained, close the drain
valve.
The air compressor
can now be stored.
