1. Ensure the On/Off switch (A) is in the OFF position.
NOTE: If hose is not connected
to Quick Connect body, pull cou-
pler back until it clicks to prevent air from escaping through the
quick connect.
2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
See Voltage and Circuit Protection under Installation.
3. Open the drain valve (counter=clockwise)
fully to permit air to
escape and prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during
the break=in period.
4. Move the On/Off switch to the ON position. The compressor will
start.
5. Run the compressor
for 20 minutes.
6. After 20 minutes, close the drain valve by turning clockwise.
The tank will fill to cut-out
pressure and the motor will stop.
7. Compressed
air will be available until it is used or bled off.
OPEFtATING
PROCEDURES
Start-up
(Fig.
1)
1. Follow Pre-Start CheckJist under Preparation for Use.
2. Move the On/Off switch to the ON position and allow tank pres-
sure to build. Motor will stop when tank pressure
reaches
cut-out
pressure.
CAUTION: Risk of unsafe operation. Compressed
air from the unit
may contain water condensation
and oil mist. Do not spray unfil-
tered air at an item that could be damaged
by moisture. Some air
operated tools or devices may require filtered air. Read the instruc-
tions for the air tool or device.
3. Adjust regulator
(D) to desired setting. See Regulator under
Features.
Shut-down
(Fig.
1)
1 Move On/Off switch (A) is in the OFF position. NOTE: If finished
using compressor, follow Steps 2 - 6.
2. Turn regulator knob
(D) counterclockwise
until fully closed.
Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSi (0 kPa).
3. Remove hose and accessory.
4. Drain the air tank, see Draining Air Tank under Maintenance.
Ensure air tank pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
WARN/NG: Risk of bursting. Drain air tank daily Water will condense
in air tank.ff not drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank caus-
ing a risk of air tank rupture.
5. Allow the compressor to cool down.
6. Wipe air compressor clean and store in a safe, non-freezing area.
MAINTENANCE
The following procedures must be followed when maintenance or
service is performed on the air compressor.
1. Ensure On/Off switch is in the OFF position.
2. Remove air compressor
plug from outlet.
3. Drain air tank.
4. Allow air compressor to cool down before starting service.
NOTE: All compressed
air systems contain
maintenance
parts
(e.g., oil, filters, separators)
that are periodically
replaced. These
used parts may contain substances that are regulated and must be
disposed of in accordance
with local, state, and federal laws and
regulations.
NOTE: Take note of the positions
and locations of parts during
disassembly to make reassembly easier.
NOTE: Any service operations not included in this section should
be performed
by a DEWALT factory service center or a DEWALT
authorized service center.
