OPERATION
BEFORE OPERATING YOUR NEW AIR
COMPRESSOR
please check the following points
carefully:
1 Check that all nuts and bolts are secure.
2. Make sure oil has been properly added to
compressor. (See Installing Oil and Oil Breather
Cap section.)
Initial Start-Up Procedure
1. Open the Air Tank Drain Valve to permit air to
escape, preventing air pressure buildup in the
air tank.
2. Run the compressor for a minimum of 20
minutes in this “no-load” position to lubricate the
piston and bearings.
3. Close Air Tank Drain Valve. Your compressor is
ready for use.
Depending on the CFM draw of the tools being
operated, your new Air Compressor can be used for
operating paint sprayers, air tools, grease guns,
airbrushes, caulking guns, abrasive blasters, tire &
plastic toy inflation, spraying weed killer and
insecticides, etc. Proper adjustment of the Air
Pressure Regulator is necessary for all of these
operations. Refer to the air pressure specifications
provided with the tool you are using.
