Break-in Procedure
NOTICE: Risk of property damage. Serious damage may result if
the following 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.
1. Make sure the Auto/Off switch is in the “Off” position.
2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
(Refer to Voltage and Circuit Protection paragraph in the
installation section of this manual.)
3. Open the drain valve (counterclockwise) fully to permit air to
escape and prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during
the break-in period.
4. Move the Auto/Off switch to “Auto” position. The compressor
will start.
5. Check all air line fittings and connections/piping for air leaks
by applying a soap solution. Correct if necessary. NOTE:
Minor leaks can cause the air compressor to overwork,
resulting in premature breakdown or inadequate performance.
6. Check for excessive vibration.
7. Turn the Auto/Off switch to the “Off” position.
8. Close the drain valve.
9. Turn the Auto/Off switch to the “Auto” position. The air
receiver will fill to “cut-out” pressure and the motor will stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.
Before Each Start-Up
1. Place Auto/Off switch to “Off”.
2. Close the drain valve.
3. Visually inspect air lines and fittings for leaks.
4. Check safety valve. See To Check Safety Valve under
Maintenance.
5. Turn the regulator knob counterclockwise to set the outlet
pressure to zero.
6. Attach hose and accessories.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose in
hand when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Do not use damaged or
worn accessories.
NOTE: The hose or accessory will require a quick connect plug if
the air outlet is equipped with a quick connect socket.
WARNING: Risk of bursting. Too much air pressure causes a
hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer’s maximum
pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet
pressure must never exceed the maximum pressure rating.
CAUTION: Risk of unsafe operation. Compressed air from the
unit may contain wa ter condensation and oil mist. Do not spray
un fil tered air at an item that could be damaged by moisture.
Some air tools and accessories may require filtered air. Read the
in struc tions for the air tools and accessories.
How to Start
1. Turn the Auto/Off switch to “Auto” and allow tank pressure to
build. Motor will stop when tank pressure reaches “cut-out”
pressure.
2. Turn the regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure.
