Some air tools and accessories may require filtered air. Read the in struc tions for the air tools and accessories. How to Start 1. Set the On/Off switch to "On" and allow tank pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank pressure reaches "cut-out" pressure. 2. Turn regulator knob clockwise to increase pressure and stop when desired pressure is reached. If any unusual noise or vibration is noticed, stop the compressor immediately and have it checked by a trained service technician. The compressor is ready for use. MAINTENANCE CUSTOMER RESPONSIBILITIES Before each use Daily or after each use Check Safety Valve X Drain Tank X Unit cycles automatically when power is on. When performing maintenance, you may be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air, or moving parts. Personal injuries can occur. Before performing any maintenance or repair, disconnect power source from the compressor and bleed off all air pressure. NOTE: See Operation section for the location of controls. TO CHECK SAFETY VALVE Risk of Bursting. If the safety valve does not work properly, over-pressurization may occur, causing air tank rupture or an explosion. Risk from Flying Objects. Always wear certified safety equipment: ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) with side shields. 1. Before starting compressor, pull the ring on the safety valve to make sure that the safety valve operates freely. If the valve is stuck or does not operate smoothly, it must be replaced with the same type of valve. NOTE: See Operation section for the location of controls. TO DRAIN TANK Risk of Unsafe Operation. Risk from noise. Air tanks contain high pressure air. Keep face and other body parts away from outlet of drain. Use ANSI Z87.1 eye protection (CAN/CSA Z94.3) when draining as debris can be kicked up into face. Use ear protection [(ANSI S12.6 (S3.19) hearing protection] as air flow noise is loud when draining. 1. Set the On/Off switch to "Off". 2. Turn the regulator knob counter-clockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero. 3. Remove the air tool or accessory. 4. Pull ring on safety valve allowing air to bleed from the tank until tank pressure is approximately 20 PSI. Release safety valve ring. 5. Drain water from air tank by opening drain valve on bottom of tank. Risk of Bursting. Water will condense in the air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture. Risk of Property Damage. Drain water from air tank may con tain oil and rust which can cause stains. 6. After the water has been drained, close the drain valve. The air compressor can now be stored. NOTE: If drain valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then be removed, cleaned, the reinstalled. SERVICE AND ADJUSTMENTS ALL MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OPERATIONS NOT LISTED MUST BE PERFORMED BY TRAINED SERVICE TECHNICIAN. Risk of Unsafe Operation. Unit cycles automatically when power is on. When servicing, you may be exposed to voltage sources, compressed air, or moving parts. Before servicing unit unplug or disconnect electrical supply to the air compressor, bleed tank of pressure, and allow the air compressor to cool. TO REPLACE OR CLEAN CHECK VALVE 1. Release all air pressure from air tank. See "To Drain Tank" in the Maintenance section. 2. Unplug unit. 3. Remove the hose by removing the hose clamp. NOTE: The hose clamp is not reusable. You must purchase a new hose clamp, see the Parts List or purchase a standard hose clamp at a local hardware store. 4. Unscrew the check valve (turn counter- clockwise) using a socket wrench. 5. Make sure the valve disc moves freely inside the check valve and the spring holds the disc in the upper, closed position. The check valve may be Check Valve Hose Clamp cleaned with a solvent, such as paint and varnish remover. 1000003145 14 - ENG 6. Apply sealant to the check valve threads. Reinstall the check valve (turn clockwise). 7. Replace hose and new hose clamp. 8. Perform the Break-in Procedure. See "Break-in Procedure" in the Operation section. TO REPLACE REGULATOR 1. Release all air pressure from air tank. See "To Drain Tank" in the Maintenance section. 2. Unplug unit. 3. Using an adjustable wrench remove the gauges, quick connect, and safety valve from the regulator manifold. 4. Remove the hose by removing the hose clamp. NOTE: The hose clamp is not reusable. You must purchase a new hose clamp, see the Parts List Manual or purchase a standard hose clamp at a local hardware store. 5. Remove pump mounting screws securing pump (one on each side). 6. Carefully slide pump from brackets and out of the way. 7. Using an adjustable wrench remove the regulator manifold. 8. Apply pipe sealant to new regulator manifold and assemble, tighten with wrench. 9. Reapply pipe sealant to gauges, quick connect, and safety valve. 10. Reassemble all components in reverse order of removal. Make sure to orient gauges to read correctly and use wrenches to tighten all components. Safety Valve Regulator Manifold Quick Connects...
