Figure 6 - Opening Drain cock
2. Turn off the compressor and close
drain cock. The compressor is now
ready for use.
If the compressor is run under humid
conditions for short periods of time, the
humidity will condense in the crankcase
and cause the oil to look creamy. Oil
contaminated by condensed water will
not provide adequate lubrication and
must be changed immediately. Using
contaminated oil will damage bearings,
pistons, cylinders and rings and is not
covered under warranty. To avoid
water condensation in the oil, periodi-
cally run the compressor with tank
pressure near 120 psi by opening the
drain cock or an air valve connected to
the tank or hose. Run the pump for an
hour at a time at least once a week or
more often if the condensation reoc-
curs.
IMPORTANT: Change oil after first 50
hours of operation.
PRESSURE SWITCH, START - STOP
NOTE: This compressor has a maximum
operating pressure of 135 PSI. Do not
alter pressure settings on control com-
ponents above this limit.
CONTINUOUS RUN OPERATION
To convert to continuous run operation a
separate discharge unloading device must
be installed by the user between the
pump and the tank. The existing check
valve must be removed.
CRANKCASE BREATHER
During severe operating conditions or
initial start-up, some oil may accumu-
late at the crankcase breather opening.
This is normal and will diminish as the
pump accumulates run time and the
piston rings become fully seated.
Maintenance
Disconnect, tag and lock out
power source then release
all pressure from the system
before attempting to install, service,
relocate or perform any maintenance.
In order to maintain efficient opera-
tion of the compressor system, check
the air filter and oil level before each
use. The ASME safety valve should also
be checked daily. Pull ring on safety
valve and allow the ring to snap back
to normal position. This valve automat-
ically releases air if the tank pressure
exceeds the preset maximum. If air
leaks after
the ring has been released, or the
valve is stuck and cannot be actuated
by the ring, the ASME safety valve
must be replaced.
TANK
Figure 7
Do not attempt to
tamper with the
ASME safety valve.
Never attempt to repair or
modify a tank! Welding,
drilling or any other modifica-
tion will weaken the tank resulting in
damage from rupture or explosion.

tank daily.
The tank should be carefully inspected
at a minimum of once a year. Look for
cracks forming near the welds. If a
crack is detected, remove pressure from
tank immediately and replace.
COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION
See operation. Add oil as required. The
oil should be changed every three
months or after every 500 hours of
operation; whichever comes first.
AIR FILTER
Never run the compressor pump without
an intake air filter nor with a clogged
intake air filter. Use compressed air to
blow the filter clean. Do not wash or oil
the element. If it cannot be blown clean,
the filter must be replaced. Operating
compressor with a dirty filter can cause
high oil consumption and increase oil
contamination in the discharge air.
COMPONENTS
Turn off all power and use light air
pressure to blow dust and foreign
material from cylinder head, motor, fan
blades, air lines, intercooler and tank
on a monthly basis.
BELTS
Lock out and tag
the power then
release all pressure from the tank to
prevent unexpected movement of the
unit.
