WARNING
Your safety and the wellbeing of others during the operation of every
not operate or permit anyone else to operate your air compressor until the information contained in this manual is read and
completely understood. Please contact your distributor or our customer service department if you have any questions on the proper
use of your air compressor.
WET CONDITIONS: Do not operate your compressor in damp or wet conditions, or after it has been exposed to rain/sleet/ice/snow
or moisture of any kind. Failure to follow this warning could lead to electric shock and/or rust and ice forming on critical
components, making the compressor dangerous to operate. Always operate and/or store compressor in a clean, dry location with
good ventilation.
DIRECT-DRIVE ELECTRIC
Establish that the air compressor is ready to operate by reviewing the topics and information provided in the "Pre-Start
Checklist" section of this manual. Slowly open tank drain to remove any condensate that has accumulated and keep drain open for
a few seconds after starting to warm up motor/pump assembly. Make sure the pressure switch lever is in the "Off" position before
plugging power cord into a properly grounded outlet. Move pressure switch lever to the "On/Auto" position to build and
automatically maintain top end tank pressure setting. Rotate regulator adjustment knob counterclockwise until the gauge attached
reads 0 PSI before attaching air hose and accessory. Set working pressure by rotating regulator adjustment knob clockwise and lock
in working pressure according to specifications provided by the tool manufacturer. Always use the pressure switch "On(Auto)/Off"
lever to start or stop the air compressor. Never stop the compressor by unplugging it from the power source. Store compressor in a
warm/dry location and perform maintenance as indicated in manual.
BELT-DRIVE ELECTRIC
START/STOP OPERATION:
Follow same procedures described above for use of direct-drive electric
compressors. Open drain valve located on pump aftercooler for cold starting
purposes. An electric belt-driven motor should not be subjected to more than 15
starts per hour. Consult your dealer or any authorized
information on a conversion kit if you experience nuisance tripping of the motor
overload due to an excessive amount of motor starts per hour.
CONSTANT-SPEED OPERATION:
Constant speed or continuous-running operation should be used during
periods of heavy use to extend motor life and prevent overheating. If your machine
is built to only operate continuously, special care must be taken to safely start and
stop the machine. Always shut off the power to the electrical outlet at the main
breaker or optional on/off switch before plugging in or unplugging the power cord.
We also highly recommend complete draining of storage tank(s) and opening of
aftercooler drain valve prior to starting, especially when operating in cold temperatures. Never stop the compressor by pulling the
plug from the outlet. Use the breaker or optional on/off switch to shut off the power to the outlet first.
DUAL-CONTROL OPERATION:
Dual controls allow an easy transition between start/stop and continuous-running operation. See figure 1 for instructions
to switch operation from start/stop to constant speed. Always flip the lever on the pressure switch to the "off" position before
plugging in or unplugging the power cord.
DUTY CYCLE:
All ROLAIR belt-driven air compressors are equipped with S1 or 100% duty cycle motors and pumps. Given proper
ventilation and electrical power, your ROLAIR compressor is capable of operating continuously when set up for constant speed
operation. However, an excessive amount of starts per hour may generate enough heat to trip the motor overload. Please contact
our factory Customer Service Department if overload problems repeatedly occur.
Several ROLAIR direct-drive machines, Models FC1500HBP2, FC1500HS3 and JC10, are rated for 70% duty cycle. If
subjected to continuous operation the internal overload will shut down the motor and only restart when sufficient cooling has
occurred.
