Pre-Operation (continued)
BREAKING IN THE PUMP
NOTICE:
Risk of property damage. Serious damage may result if the
following break-in instructions are not closely followed.
NOTICE:
Minor leaks can cause the air compressor to overwork,
resulting in premature breakdown or inadequate performance.
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.
□
Make sure the AUTO/OFF switch (1) is in the “Off”
position.
□
Check oil level in the pump. See the
Maintenance
section for instructions.
□
Check all the wiring. Make sure the wires are
secure at all terminals and connections. Make sure
all contacts move freely and are not obstructed.
□
Open the drain valve (2) fully to permit air to escape
and prevent air pressure build-up in the air tank
during the break-in period.
□
Move the AUTO/OFF switch (1) to the “AUTO”
position. The compressor will start.
□
Run the air compressor for 20 minutes. Make sure
the drain valve and all air lines are open so there is
only a minimal air pressure build-up in the tank.
□
Check all the air line fittings and connections/
piping for air leaks by applying a soap solution.
Correct if necessary.
□
Check for excessive vibration. Readjust or shim the
air compressor feet, if necessary.
□
After 20 minutes, close the drain valve (2). The air
receiver will fill to “cut-out” pressure and the motor
will stop.
The air compressor is now ready for use.
