The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances. 1.Senco ® DOES NOT RECOMMEND THE USE OF EXTENSION CORDS as this can create power loss andoverheating of the motor. Use of an additional air hose is recommended rather than an extension cord. If use of an extension cord is unavoidable,it should be plugged into a GFCI found in circuit boxes or protected receptacles. When using an extension cord,observe the following: Cable Length Wire Gauge Up to 25 feet 12 AWG Up to 100 feet 10 AWG Up to 150 feet 8 AWG Up to 250 feet 6 AWGUse only 3-blade extension cords that have 3-blade grounding-type plugs and 3-slot cord connectors that will accept the plug from the product. Use only extension cords having an electrical rating not less than the rating of the product. Do not use damaged extension cords. Examine extension cord before using and replace if damaged. Do not abuse extension cord and do not yank on any cord to disconnect. Keep cord away from heat and sharp edges. Always shut off the air compressor switch before removing the plug from the receptacle. 10 11OPERATIONPRE-START CHECKLIST: 1. Remove any moisture in the air compressor air tank. Remove excessive pressure by pulling on the safety relief valve ring or with an air tool, then open the air tank drain valve in the bottom of the air tank. Close tightly when drained. WARNING: Risk of bodily injury. NEVER attempt to open the drain valve when more than 10 PSI of air pressure is in the air tank! 2. Make sure the air compressor Motor Switch is in the "OFF" position. 3. Make sure all safety valves are working correctly. 4. Make sure all guards and covers are in place and securely mounted. START-UP: 1. Ensure the lever on the pressure switch box is in the "OFF" position. 2. Plug the power cord into the grounded outlet. 3. Move the lever on the pressure switch box to the "ON" position. 4. This will allow the air compressor to "START" building up pressure in the air tanks and "STOP" when correct pressure is achieved. When pressure drops with usage, the air compressor will "START" building up pressure again. 5. Set pressure by adjusting the pressure regulator knob counterclockwise for less pressure and clockwise for more pressure. 6. If you notice any unusual noise or vibration, stop the air compressor and refer to "Troubleshooting". SHUTDOWN: 1. To stop the air compressor, move the lever on the pressure switch box to the "OFF" position. NEVER stop the air compressor by unplugging it from the power source. This could result in risk of electrocution. 2. Drain air from the air tank by releasing air with an attached air tool or by pulling on the safety relief valve ring. 3. Once pressure in the air tanks register under 10 PSI, open the drain valve under each air tank to drain any moisture. 4. Allow the air compressor to cool down. 5. Wipe air compressor clean and store in a safe, non-freezing area. MAINTENANCERead the instruction manual before performing maintenance. The following procedures must be performed whenstopping the air compressor for maintenance or service. 1. Turn off the air compressor. WARNING: Never assume the air compressor is safe to work on just because it is not operating. It could restart at any time! 2. Disconnect cord from main power supply. 3. Open all drains. 4. Wait for the air compressor to cool before starting service. MAINTENANCE CHART PROCEDURE DAILY WEEKLY MONTHLY Drain condensation in air tank(s) X Check for unusual noise or vibration X Check for air leaks X Inspect air filter X Clean exterior of compressor X Check safety relief valve X 12 TROUBLESHOOTINGSymptom 1. Motor will not run or restart. Symptom 2. When in the "ON" position, motor runs continuously. Symptom 3. Air continues to leak at motor/pressure switch release valve after motor stops. Power cord not plugged in. Motor/Pressure switch in "OFF" position. Fuse blown or circuit breaker has tripped. Wrong gauge wire or length of extensioncord. Air tank pressure exceeds motor/ pressure switch "cut-in" pressure. Pressure release valve on motor/ pressure switch has not unloaded pumphead pressure. Defective motor, motor capacitor, motor/ pressure switch, or check valve. PROBABLE CAUSEMotor/Pressure switch does not shut off motor when air compressor reaches "cut-out" pressure and safety relief valve activates. Air compressor is incorrectly sized. PROBABLE CAUSEThe check valve is stuck open. REMEDYMove the motor/pressure switch to the "OFF" position. Ifthe motor doesn't shut off, unplug the air compressor. Ifthe electrical contacts are welded together, replace thepressure switch. Limit the air pressure to the capacity of the air compressor. Either use a smaller tool or a larger air compressor. REMEDYRemove, clean or replace. Plug cord into grounded outlet. Move switch to "ON" position. Replace fuse or reset circuit breaker. Check for proper fuse amperage. Check for low voltage conditions.
