OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
ON/OFF CYCLING OF COMPRESSOR
WARNING
Risk of Bursting. Drain tank every day to
prevent corrosion and possible injury due to
tank damage. For optimal performance of tank
drain, tank pressure should be between 10 -
40 PSI. Do not operate drain with more than
40 PSI in tank or drain valve may be damaged.
Drain tank of moisture daily using the drain
valve in the side of the tank or at the bottom of
the tank.
In the AUTO position, the compressor pumps air into
the tank. When a shut-off (preset "cut-out") pressure is
reached, the compressor automatically shuts off.
If the compressor is left in the AUTO position and air is
depleted from the tank by use of a tire chuck, tool, etc.,
the compressor will restart automatically at its preset
"cut-in" pressure. When a tool is being used continuously,
the compressor will cycle on and off automatically.
In the OFF position, the compressor will not operate.
Drain Tank. Disconnect, tag and lock out power source;
release pressure. Drain moisture from tank by opening
drain valve underneath tank (See Figure 1).
Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets as it comes from an air compressor pump.
When humidity is high or when a compressor is in continuous use for an extended period of time,
this moisture will collect in the tank. When using a paint spray or sandblast gun, this water will
be carried from the tank through the hose, and out of the gun as droplets mixed with the spray
material.
IMPORTANT: This condensation will cause water spots in a paint job, especially when spraying
other than water based paints. If sandblasting, it will cause the sand to cake and clog the gun,
rendering it ineffective. A fi lter in the air line, located as near to the gun as possible, will help
eliminate this moisture.
Unit Care and Maintenance. Drain liquid from
tank daily.
