OPERATING PROCEDURES (cont’d)
DAILY STARTUP PROCEDURES
Break-In Procedures:
Upon starting the compressor for the first time, open
the air discharge valve fully to prevent pressure buildup
in the tank. Let the compressor operate for 15 min-
utes. Once this is complete, close the air discharge
valve to allow the unit to build pressure.
10. Start the compressor outfit by pulling the starter
handle or by depressing the starter button.
Return the toggle lever on the unloader valve to
the horizontal position and allow the outfit to
pump up to maximum tank pressure. Check that
the unloader exhausts air at maximum tank
pressure.
11. Check the following:
a. Make sure all controls are operating correctly.
Refer to the "Operator Controls" section of
this manual. A separate gasoline engine
instruction manual is provided detailing
engine operation.
b. Check all air lines, fittings and pipes for leaks.
Even minor leaks can cause the compressor
to overwork resulting in premature breakdown
or unsatisfactory performance.
c. Check for excessive vibration and noise.
(cont’d)
Correct any defects found.
d. Check for oil leaks. Correct any leaks
found.
12. After all checks are complete, your air compressor
is now ready for use.
SHUT DOWN PROCEDURES
To stop the engine in an emergency, turn the engine
ON/OFF lever or key switch to the OFF position. Under
normal conditions, use the following procedures.
1. Allow the tank pressure to build to maximum
and the engine to throttle down to idle speed.
2. Turn the engine lever or key switch to the OFF
position.
3. Close the air discharge valve.
4. Remove air tool or accessory.
5. Open air discharge valve or regulator to allow
air to slowly bleed from the tank. Close the air
discharge valve or regulator when the tank
pressure is approximately 20 psig.
6. Drain water and remaining pressure from tank.
