Operation
Air Compressor Operating Location
Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry and well-ventilated
area for operation. The air compressor should be placed at
least 12 inches (30 cm) away from walls or other
obstructions that could interfere with airflow.
The air compressor pump and shroud are designed to allow
for proper cooling. The ventilation openings on the
compressor are necessary to maintain proper operating
temperature. DO NOT place rags or containers on or near
these openings. Keep the air filter clear of obstructions that
could reduce airflow to the air compressor.
Operate the air compressor with unit located on a flat
surface to ensure that it receives proper lubrication.
If you have any problems with operation of your air
compressor, call air compressor helpline at
(800) 743-4115
.
If calling for assistance, please have the model, revision, and
serial number from the data tag available.
Grounding Instructions
1. The cord set and plug supplied with this unit contains a
grounding pin. This plug MUST be used with a
grounded outlet.
2. Make sure power outlet being used has same
configuration as air compressor’s plug.
DO NOT use a ground adapter.
3. Inspect plug and cord before each use. DO NOT use
compressor if there are signs of damage.
IMPORTANT
: If these grounding instructions are not completely
understood, or if in doubt that air compressor is correctly
grounded, have installation checked by a qualified electrician.
Break-In Procedure
Before first use of this equipment, the system must undergo
a break-in operation, as described in this section.
1. Make sure
ON - OFF
switch is in
OFF
position (
A
).
2. Plug power cord into an isolated 120 Volt A.C.
grounded outlet. See
Grounding Instructions
.
3. Open both drain valves (
B
) (rotate fully
counterclockwise) to prevent air pressure build-up in
air tank during break-in period.
NOTE
: Always drain air tank over a washable surface or in a
suitable container to prevent damaging or staining surfaces.
4. Pull
ON - OFF
switch to
ON
position. Compressor will
start.
5. Run compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure drain valve
remains open.
6. After 15 minutes, close both drain valves (rotate fully
clockwise). Air tank will fill to “cut-out” pressure and
compressor will stop.
NOTE:
If you hear leaking air, pull quick connect coupler
back until it clicks to reset coupler valve.
NOTE:
Check oil level in compressor after break-in.
The compressor has completed the break-in procedure and
is ready for normal use.
NOTICE
Serious damage may result if the 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.
