OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
All lubricated compressor pumps discharge some condensed water and oil with the compressed air. Install
appropriate water/oil removal equipment and controls as necessary for the intended application.
Failure to install appropriate water/oil removal equipment may result in damage to
machinery or workpiece.
Start-up / Break-in Procedure
Risk of Personal Injury. Do not attach air tools to open end of the hose until start-
up is completed and the unit checks okay.
Risk of Personal Injury. Never disconnect threaded joints with pressure in tank!

this manual.
2. Open the bottom tank drain valve (see Figure

Turn outlet valve to open air flow.
3. Plug unit in.
4. Move pressure switch to the

position to
run the unit (see Figure 7).
5. Run the unit for thirty (30) minutes at zero (0)
psi (under no load) to break in pump parts.

surrounding air temperature will not be more than
100°F. Do not locate the compressor air inlet near
steam, paint spray, sandblast areas or any other
source of contamination.
