OPERATION
RESETTING THE AIR COMPRESSOR
When amperage into the air compressor exceeds the
specified amperage, the air compressor will automatically
shut off.
To reset the air compressor:
Turn the air compressor off.
Unplug the air compressor and allow to cool for 30
minutes.
Plug the air compressor into an approved outlet.
Turn the air compressor on.
DRAINING THE TANK
See Figure 6 - 7, page 17.
To help prevent tank corrosion and keep moisture out of the air
used, the air tank of the compressor should be drained daily.
To drain:
Turn the air compressor OFF and disconnect the plug
from the power supply,
Pull the ring on the safety valve to release pressure until
pressure gauge reads less than 20 psi.
Release the ring.
Rotate drain valve counterclockwise to open.
Tilt tank as shown to drain moisture from tank into a
suitable container.
NOTE: Condensate is a polluting material and should be
disposed of in compliance with local regulations.
If drain valve is clogged, release all air pressure, remove
and clean valve, then reinstall.
WARNING:
Unplug the air compressor and release all air from
the tank before servicing. Failure to depressurize
tank before attempting to remove valve can cause
serious personal injury.
Rotate drain valve clockwise until tightly closed.
WARNING:
RISK OF BURSTING. All compressed air
tanks have a limited lifespan. The lifespan can
be affected by a number of factors, including
operating conditions of the air compressor, proper
maintenance of the tank, and unauthorized repairs
and modifications. Since deterioration of the tank
can occur internally with no outward signs, the
air tank(s) on this compressor MUST be removed
from service by the end of the year shown on the
data label. Use of the air compressor after this
date increases the risk of an air tank rupture, which
could result in serious personal injury.
CHECKING THE SAFETY VALVE
See Figure 6, page 17.
DANGER:
Do not attempt to tamper with the safety valve.
Anything loosened from this device could fly up
and hit you. Failure to heed this warning could
result in death or serious personal injury.
The safety valve will automatically release air if the air tank
pressure exceeds the preset maximum. The valve should be
checked before each day of use by pulling the ring by hand.
Turn the air compressor on and allow the tank to fill. The
compressor will shut off when the pressure reaches the
preset maximum.
Turn the air compressor off.
Pull the ring on the safety valve to release air for three to
five seconds to allow pressurized air to escape. Release
the ring. The safety release valve must reset and hold
pressure before all compressed air is exhausted from the
tank/pressure vessel.
Any continued loss of air after performing the above steps
indicates a problem with the safety valve. Discontinue
use and seek service before continued use of the air
compressor.
WARNING:
If air leaks after the ring has been released or if
the valve is stuck and cannot be actuated by the
ring, do not use the air compressor until the safety
valve has been replaced. Use of the air compressor
in this condition could result in serious personal
injury.
