Maintenance; Maintenance Schedule; Storage - Powermate Vx SAC22HPP Manual Del Propietario Y De Seguridad

To avoid personal injury, always shut off and unplug the compressor and relieve all
air pressure from the system before performing any service on the air compressor.
To ensure efficient operation and longer
life of the air compressor unit, a routine
maintenance schedule should be followed.
The following schedule is geared toward
a consumer whose compressor is used in
a normal working environment on a daily
basis.
This compressor is equipped with a thermal overload protector which will shut
off motor if it becomes overheated. If the thermal overload protector is actuated,
the motor must be allowed to cool down before start-up is possible. To reset the
motor overload, turn the Power Switch to the OFF position and unplug the unit
from the power outlet. Allow 10 minutes (minimum) for motor overload cut-out to
cool and reset. Unit can then be plugged in and re-started.
DRAINING THE TANK
Condensation will accumulate in the tank. To prevent corrosion of the tank from
the inside, this moisture must be drained at the end of every workday. Be sure
to wear protective eyewear. Relieve the air pressure in the system and open the
drain valve on the bottom of the tank and tilt tank to drain.
CHECKING THE SAFETY VALVE
Check the safety valve by performing these three steps:
1. Plug the compressor in and run until cut-off
pressure is reached.
2. Wearing safety glasses, pull out on the safety
valve ring to release pressure from the tank.
3. The safety valve should close automatically at approximately 40-50 PSI.
If the safety valve does not allow air to be released when you pull
out on the ring, or does not close automatically, it must be replaced.

STORAGE

For storing the air compressor, be sure to do the following:
1. Turn the unit off and unplug the power cord from the receptacle.
2. Remove all air hoses, accessories, and air tools from the air compressor.
3. Perform the daily maintenance schedule.
4. Open the drain valve to bleed all air from the tank.
5. Close the drain valve.
6. Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage (such as being stepped
on or run over). Wind them loosely around the compressor handle.
7. Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location.
