INSTALLATION AND BREAK-IN PROCEDURES (cont'd)
Additional Regulators and Controls
Since the air tank pressure is usually greater than that which is
needed, a separate regulator is usually employed to control the
air pressure ahead of any individual air driven device.
Break-in Procedures
Serious damage may result if the following break-
in instructions are not closely followed.
Daily Start-Up Checklist
1.
Before attaching air hose or accessories, make sure the
ON/AUTO lever is set to "OFF" and the air regulator is
closed.
2.
Attach hose and accessories.
TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE CAUSES A HAZARD-
OUS RISK OF BURSTING. CHECK THE MANU-
FACTURER'S MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING
FOR AIR TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES. THE
REGULATOR OUTLET PRESSURE MUST NEVER
EXCEED THE MAXIMUM PRESSURE RATING.
3. Turn the ON/AUTO lever to "AUTO" and allow tank
pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank pressure
reaches "cut-out" pressure.
4. Open the regulator by turning it clockwise. Adjust the
regulator to the correct pressure setting. Your
compressor is ready for use.
5. 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:
6. Set the "ON/AUTO" lever to "OFF".
7. Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the outlet
pressure to zero.
8. Remove the air tool or accessory.

OPERATING PROCEDURES
10 — ENG
This procedure is required:
1.
Before the air compressor is put into service. (Before the
hose is installed.)
2.
When the check valve is replaced.
3.
When a complete compressor pump is replaced.
a. Set the pressure switch lever to the "OFF" position.
b. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit
receptacle.
c. Turn the regulator clockwise opening it fully, to
prevent air pressure build-up in the tank.
d. Move the pressure switch lever to "ON/AUTO". The
compressor will start.
e. Run the compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure the
regulator is open and there is no tank pressure build-
up.
f. After 15 minutes, close the regulator by turning it
counterclockwise. The air receiver will fill to cut-out
pressure and the motor will stop. The compressor is
now ready for use.
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. Drain water from air tank by opening drain cock valve on
bottom of tank.
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.
11. After the water has been drained, close the drain cock or
drain valve. The air compressor can now be stored.
If drain cock valve is plugged, release all air
pressure. The valve can then be removed,
cleaned, then reinstalled.
