Pre-Operation (continued)
BREAKING IN THE PUMP
NOTE:
Risk of property damage. Serious damage may
result if the following break-in instructions are not closely
followed.
NOTE:
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 the 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 (2) and all air lines are open so
there is only a minimal air pressure build-up in the
tank.
□
Check all 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.
