RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. IMPROPER
ELECTRICAL GROUNDING CAN RESULT IN
ELECTRICAL SHOCK. WIRING FORTHE PRES-
SURE SWITCH SHOULD BE DONE BY A LI-
CENSED ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH
NATIONAL AND LOCAL CODES AND ORDI-
NANCES.
Install the compressor as close to the main power supply as
possible. This practice will avoid using long lengths of
electrical wiring for the power supply which can cause
power loss to the motor. When connecting wires, make sure
that :
1. The amperage rating of the electrical box is adequate.
Refer to the Specification Chart in the Outfit Parts
Bulletin for your compressor.
2. The supply line has the same electrical claaracteris-
tics (voltage, cycle, phase) as the motor.
Wiring must be such that lull motor nameplate voltage plus
or minus 10% is available at the motor terminals during
starting. Refer to local codes for recommended wire sizes
for correct wire size and maximum wire run; undersize wire
causes high amp draw and overheating to the motor.
Electrical wiring must be located away from hot
suHaces such as manifold assembly, compres-
sor outlet tubes, heads, or cylinders.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
,
Before attaching air hose or accessories, make sure the
OFF/AUTO lever is set to "OFF" and the air regulator
or globe valve is closed.
2. Attach hose and accessories.
TOO MUCH AIR PRESSURE CREATES A HAZ-
ARDOUS RISK OF BURSTING. CAREFULLY
FOLLOW STEPS 3 AND 5 EACH TIME THE
COMPRESSOR IS USED.
6. 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:
7. Set the "OFF/AUTO" lever to "OFF".
8. Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the
outlet pressure to zero.
9. Remove the air tool or accessory.
10. Open the regulator and allow the air to slowly bleed
from the tank. Close the regulator when tank pressure
is approximately 20 psi.
11. Drain water from air tank.

.
Compressed air from the outfit may contain
water condensation. Do not spray until-
tered air at an item that could be damaged.
Some air operated tools or devices may
require filtered air. Read the instructions for
the air tool or device.
Check the manufacturer's maximum pressure rating for
air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet pressure
must never exceed the maximum pressure rating. If your
compressor is not supplied with a regulator with gauge,
instal! one before using accessories.
Turn the OFF/AUTO lever to "AUTO" and allow tank
pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank pressure
reaches "cut-out" pressure.
Open the regulator by turning it clockwise. Adjust the
regulator to the correct pressure setting. Your
compressor is ready for use.
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.
With tank pressure at approximately 20 psi, open the drain
cock or drain valve.
NOTE:
If drain cock valve is plugged, release
all air. The valve can then be removed,
cleaned, then reinstalled.
12. After the water has been drained, close the drain cock
or drain valve. The air compressor can now be stored.
