7. Apply thread sealant to the check valve
threads and reinstall into the tank by
turning clockwise. Make sure it is the
same orientation as when it was removed.
8. Replace the bleeder tube and tighten
compression nut.
9. Replace the transfer tube and tighten
compression nuts.
10. Perform the “Break-in of the pump”
procedure in the Operating Instructions to
make sure there are no leaks and the
check valve is working properly.
A dirty air filter
will reduce the
compressor’s
performance and life.
To avoid any internal
contamination of the
pump, the filters should
be cleaned frequently,
and replaced on a
regular basis. Felt filters
should be cleaned in
warm, soapy water,
rinsed, and allowed
to air dry before
reinstallation. Paper filters should be replaced when dirty. Do
not allow the filters to become filled with dirt or paint. If the filter
becomes filled with paint, it should be replaced. Direct exposure
to dirty conditions or painting areas will void your warranty.
Pull the tank safety valve daily to ensure that it is operating
properly and to clear the valve of any possible obstructions.
Check that all connections are tight. A small leak in any of
the hoses, transfer tubes, or pipe connections will substantially
reduce the performance of your air compressor. If you suspect
a leak, spray a small amount of soapy water around the area
of the suspected leak with a spray bottle. If bubbles appear,
repair or replace the faulty component. Do not over tighten any
connections.
Before storing the compressor for a prolonged period, use
an air blow gun to clean all dust and debris from the compressor.
Disconnect the power cord and coil it up. Pull the tank safety
valve to release all pressure from the tank. Drain all moisture from
the tank. Clean the filter elements and filter housings; replace
the elements if necessary. Drain the oil from the pump crankcase
and replace it with new oil. Cover the entire unit to protect it from
moisture and dust.
