INITIAL SET-UP (BREAK-IN PROCEDURE)
Risk of property damage. Serious damage may result if the
following break-in instructions are not closely followed.
This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into service and when
the check valve or a complete compressor pump has been replaced.
1.
Make sure the Auto/Off switch (D) is in the "Off" position.
2.
Check oil level in pump. See Pump Oil-Checking paragraph in the Maintenance
section for instructions.
3.
Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. (Refer to Voltage
and Circuit Protection paragraph in the Installation section of this manual.)
4.
Open the drain valves (K) (counterclockwise) fully to permit air to escape and
prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during the break-in period.
5.
Move the Auto/Off switch to "Auto" position. The compressor will start.
6.
Run the compressor for 20 minutes. Make sure the drain valve is open and
there is minimal air pressure build-up in tank.
7 .
After 20 minutes, close the drain valves by turning clockwise. The air receiver
will fill to "cut-out" pressure and the motor will stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.
BEFORE EACH START-UP
1.
Set the Auto/Off switch (D) to "Off".
2.
Ensure air tank is drained, see To Drain Tank under Maintenance section for
instructions.
3.
Ensure the drain valve (K) is closed.
4.
Ensure safety valve (F) is functioning properly, see To Check Safety Valve
under Maintenance section for instructions.
5.
Check pump oil level, see Pump Oil-Checking under Maintenance section for
instructions.
Risk of property damage. Do not operate without oil or with
inadequate oil. BOSTITCH is not responsible for compressor failure caused by
inadequate oil.
6.
Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. (Refer to Voltage
and Circuit Protection paragraph in the Installation section of this manual.)
7 .
Pull the regulator knob (N) out and turn counterclockwise to decrease the outlet
pressure to zero. When the desired pressure is reached push the knob in to
lock the regulator in place.
8.
Attach hose and accessories.
Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose in hand when
installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
Risk of unsafe operation. Do not use damaged or worn
accessories.
NOTE: The hose or accessory will require a quick connect plug if the air outlet is
equipped with a quick connect body (M).
9.
Ensure all covers and labels are in place, legible (for labels) and securely
mounted. Do not use compressor until all items have been verified.
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 regulator outlet pressure must never exceed the
maximum pressure rating.
