the air intake port on the pump
head.
6) Attach the air hose and any
desired accessories (not
included). Use Teflon tape on
the threads to ensure an airtight
connection. Do not over tighten
the fittings. Note: Vibration
isolator pads are recommended
prior to bolting to the floor. Only
mount the compressor to a
concrete floor or concrete pad.
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
Start Up
1) Turn the ON/OFF switch to
the off position.
2) Check the air compressor
visually for any damage or
obstruction.
3) Close the drain valve.
4) Turn the ON/OFF switch to
the ON position and the
compressor should start and
build air pressure in the tank to
cut-out pressure and then shut
off automatically.
5) It is recommended that an
inline regulator or FRL is
installed before using this air
compressor. A regulator will
insure the proper recommended
operating pressure (PSI) setting
is used for the air tool or air
accessory being used.
7) The air compressor is ready
for use
.Once started, the compressor
will start and stop
automatically until the power
is disconnected.
ASME Safety Valve
DO NOT REMOVE OR TAMPER
WITH THIS VALVE. This valve
automatically releases air if the
tank pressure exceeds the preset
maximum for this unit (150 PSI).
This valve should be checked
occasionally by pulling the ring
by hand. If air leaks after the ring
has been released, or the valve
cannot be actuated by the ring
and is stuck, the valve MUST be
replaced.
Shut Down
1) Turn the ON/OFF switch to the
OFF position.
2) Unplug the power cord from
the receptacle.
3) Set the outlet pressure to zero
on the regulator.
4) Remove any air tools or
accessories.
5) Open the drain valve allowing
air to bleed from the tank. After
all of the air has bled from the
tank, close the drain valve to
prevent debris buildup in the
valve.
Water that remains in the tank
during storage will corrode and
weaken the air tank which could
cause the tank to rupture. To
avoid serous injury, ensure the
[e-mail]
tank is drained properly after
each use or daily.
Check the tank safety valve and
air filter before each use.
MAINTENANCE
Before starting maintenance,
ensure the air compressor is
turned off, disconnected from the
power source, the tank is drained
and the compressor is cooled
down completely.
Never repair a cracked tank or
personal injury could occur.
Daily:
- Check oil level
- Drain accumulated liquid from
tank
- Check for oil leaks
- Check for unusual noise and/or
vibrations
- Check all fasteners are secure
Weekly:
- Check safety relief valve. DO
NOT DISSASEMBLE THE
VALVE WITH AIR IN TANK.
- Inspect and clean air filter
- Clean breather holes on oil
check dipstick
Monthly:
- Check for air leaks by applying
a solution of soapy water around
joints. Look for air bubbles
around joints when the
compressor reaches the
pressure cut-out limit and pump
turns off.
- Check all nuts and bolts are
tight
