INSTALLATION AND
BREAK-IN PROCEDURES
(con't.)
Initial Start Up Procedure:
1. Check engine & pump oil.
2. Open the air receiver's drain valve.
3. Run the compressor for a minimum of
of twenty (20) minutes in the no-load
condition to seat the piston ring.
4. Close air receiver drain valve. Your
compressor is now ready for use.

Piping

Plastic or PVC pipe is not designed for use
with compressed air. Regardless of its
indicated pressure rating, plastic pipe can
burst from air pressure. Use only metal
pipe for air distribution lines.
If a pipe line is necessary, use pipe that is
the same size, or larger than, the air tank
outlet. Piping that is too small will restrict
the flow of air. If piping is over 100 feet long,
use the next larger size. Bury underground
lines below the frost line and avoid pockets
where condensation can gather and freeze.
Apply pressure before underground lines are
covered to make sure all pipe joints are free
of leaks.

OPERATING PROCEDURES

Installation
Proper care, maintenance and lubrication
ensures longevity. The compressor should
always be level for proper lubrication. Use
only in a clean, dry, well-ventilated area. The
compressor has heat dissipation fins for pro-
per cooling. Keep the fins and other parts
that collect dust clean. Do not place rags or
other materials on top of the compressor, as
this obstructs cooling and can be a fire
hazard.

Daily Start-up Checklist

1. Before attaching air hose or accessories,
make sure the pressure switch lever is
set to "OFF" and the air regulator or shut-
off valve is closed.
2. Attach hose and accessories. Too much
air pressure causes a hazardous risk of
bursting. Check the manufacturer's
maximum pressure rating for air tools
and accessories. The regulator outlet
pressure must never exceed the maximum
pressure rating.
3. Turn the pressure switch lever to "ON/
AUTO" and allow tank pressure to build.
Motor will stop when tank pressure
reaches "cut-out" pressure.
4. Open the regulator by turning it clockwise.
Adjust the regulator to the correct
pressure setting. Your compressor is now
ready for use.
5. Always operate the air compressor in
well-ventilated areas; free of gasoline or
other solvent vapors. Do not operate the
compressor near the spray area.
When you are finished:
6. Set the pressure switch lever to "OFF".
7. Using the air tool or accessory, bleed the
tank pressure down to zero.
8. Remove the air tool or accessory.
9. Drain water from the air tank by opening
drain cock valve on bottom of tank.
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.
Note:
If drain cock valve is plugged, release all air
pressure. The valve can then be removed,
cleaned, then reinstalled.
10. After the water has been drained, close
the drain valve. The air compressor can
now be stored.
