DAILY START-UP
1.
Check the oil level in the pump (see "Checking the Oil" in the maintenance
section).
2.
Make sure the main power disconnect switch is shut OFF.
Close the tank petcock (see E).
3.
4.
Turn ON the main power disconnect switch. Turn the pressure switch to the
AUTO position (see D). The pump will start filling the tank with air. When the
air pressure in the tank reaches the level preset at the factory, the pressure
switch will turn off the electric motor. As air is used and the pressure level in
the tank drops, the pressure switch will start the motor and the pump will
begin refilling the tank.
WARNING
I
To prevent burns or other injuries, DO NOT touch the pump or
transfer tube while the pump is running. Allow it to cool before
handling or servicing. Keep children away from the compressor at
all times.
NOTE: If the unit does not operate properly, SHUT DOWN IMMEDIATELY, and
contact your nearest Service Center or call the factory's Customer
Service Department. DO NOT return the unit to the store where it was
purchased.
COLD WEATHER STARTING
In cold weather check that the air filter is clean. ALWAYS use synthetic blend,
non-detergent air compressor oil.
Open the petcock (F) (Fig. 6) to depressurize the tank to zero PSI before starting.
If the compressor will not start, relocate it in a warmer location.
SHUTDOWN
1.
Turn the pressure switch to the OFF position (see C).
2.
Shut OFF the main power disconnect switch.
3.
Reduce pressure in the tank through the outlet hose. You can also pull the
tank safety valve ring (see G) and keep it open to relieve pressure in the
tank.
WARNING
I
may cause eye injury. Wear safety goggles when opening petcock.
4.
Open the petcock (see F) to allow moisture to drain from the tank.
