8. HOW TO INSTALL OPTION-
AL 1260E TANK
With AKHL1260E, you can add the optional
AKTH13 air tank for 1260EX. If more air is re-
quired, use the following steps to install the op-
tional air tank.
Installation
1. (Fig.G,K) Turn off the power switch of the
compressor and unplug the power cord
from the electrical outlet.
2. (Fig.D) Open the drain cock and drain
compressed air from the tank.
3. (Fig.M) Remove the four screws from the
rubber feet of the compressor.
4. (Fig.N,O) Remove the stop plug from the
compressor clockwise and mount by turn-
ing the air chuck 44K that comes with the
AKTH13 counterclockwise.
5. (Fig.P) Mount the rubber feet of the compres-
sor on the holders of the AKTH13.
6. (Fig.Q) Fasten the four screws securely
with a screwdriver.
7. (Fig.R) Connect the connector of the flexi-
ble pipe to the air chuck 44K. When con-
necting, please press the air plug strongly
because the pressing is in two stages.
8. (Fig.L,C) Make sure that the four screws
and the air chuck 44K are not loose, plug
the compressor's power cord in the elec-
tric outlet and turn the compressor's
power switch on.
9. Before operating the machine, be sure to
carry out the "Inspection and checkup
prior to operation" described on page 17.
Removal
1. (Fig.G,K) Turn off the power switch of the
compressor and unplug the power cord
from the electrical outlet.
2. (Fig.D) Open the drain cock of the com-
pressor and optional air tank and drain
compressed air from the tank.
3. (Fig.S) Disconnect the connector of the
flexible pipe from the air chuck 44K. Turn
the sleeve of the air chuck 44K counter-
clockwise , and push the sleeve to remove
the air plug.
4. (Fig.T) Remove the four screws of the rub-
ber feet that fasten the optional air tank to
the compressor, and remove the air tank
by lifting up the compressor.
5. (Fig.U) Fasten the four screws with a
screwdriver.
6. (Fig.L,C) Plug the compressor's power
cord in the electric outlet and turn the
compressor's power switch on.
7. Before operating the machine, be sure to
carry out the "Inspection and checkup
prior to operation" described on page 17.
9. AUTOMATIC ADJUSTMENT
OF OPERATING POWER (IN-
VERTER CONTROL)
Microcomputer-based inverter control is enabled
on this machine in order to ensure the maximum
utilization of the discharging performance. Adjust-
ment of the operating power is automatically con-
tinued until the pressure in the machine tank
reaches the maximum level. Operating sounds
may change when the operating power is
switched, but you do not have to worry about them.
Changes in the sounds are not due to a failure.
• The pressure level at which the output change-
over is activated varies depending on the ca-
pacity of the main power supply, type of
extension cord used and parallel use of other
electric equipment. If the voltage is excessively
low, extra time will be required for the filling.
• If the fill time is longer than usual or when the
pressure does not increase, change the cur-
rent connection to the power supply (reconnect
to the main power supply) or stop the joint use
of the power supply with a power tool.
• When capacity of the main power is excessively
low, or when it is jointly used with another power
tool, a radical voltage drop results, may result in
startup failure.
• The circuit breaker of the power supply may be
activated if the total current consumption re-
sulting from the parallel use with another pow-
er tool exceeds the current capacity of the
circuit breaker.
If the circuit breaker trips, the power supply
switch of the compressor moves to the OFF
position.
Stop using other power tools on the same pow-
er source as the compressor. Then, after wait-
ing for 30 seconds or more, turn the switch ON.
