1. Before attaching an air hose or accessory, make sure the
outlet valve is in the closed position. On units equipped
with a pressure switch lever make sure the switch is in the
OFF position.
Compressed air from the outfit may contain
water condensation and oil mist. Do not spray
unfiltered air at an item that could be dam-
aged by moisture or oil mist. Some air oper-
ated tools or devices may require filtered air.
Read instructions for air tool or device.
2. Attach regulator, hose and accessory. On models
without an air pressure regulator, one must be installed
before using accessories.
TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE CAUSES A HAZ-
ARDOUS RISK OF BURSTING. CHECK THE
MANUFACTURER'S MAXIMUM PRESSURE
RATING FOR AIR TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES.
THE REGULATOR OUTLET PRESSURE MUST
NEVER EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE
RATING.
3. Turn the compressor on and allow tank pressure to build.
On units equipped with a pressure switch lever, place the
switch in the ON-AUTO position. The motor will stop
when tank pressure reaches "cut-out pressure".
4. Open the outlet valve.
5. If an air pressure regulator is in use, open the regulator by
turning it clockwise. Adjust the regulator to the correct
pressure setting. Your outfit is ready for use.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
When You Are Finished:
6.
Turn the compressor unit off.
7.
Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the outlet
pressure to zero.
8.
Remove the air tool or accessory.
9.
Open the regulator and allow the air to slowly bleed
from the tank. Close the regulator when tank pressure
is approximately 20 psi.
10. Open the drain cock valve underneath the tank and
drain water from air tank. Collect the water in a
suitable container. Continue operating unit until all
moisture is removed from the air tank.
DRAIN TANK DAILY. WATER WILL CONDENSE
IN THE AIR TANK. IF NOT DRAINED, THE
WATER WILL CORRODE AND WEAKEN THE
AIR TANK, CAUSING A RISK OF AIR TANK
RUPTURE. THE AIR TANK MUST BE DRAINED
PROPERLY.
11. After the water has been drained, close the drain
cock.
- if the compressor is under continuous use - drain at
least once each day.
- if the compressor is only used occasionally - drain
after each use.
If drain cock valve is clogged, release air pres-
sure in air tank. The drain cock valve can then
be removed, cleaned and reinstalled.
