2. Turn shut-off valve knob into open position.
3. Start engine. See engine manual supplied by
engine manufacturer for correct procedure.
The air compressor is top heavy.
Make sure the unit is in a stable
position and will not tip before pulling the starter
cord of the engine.
4. Make sure the unloader valve is in the “Open”
position to prevent tank pressure buildup.
5. Run the air compressor for 30 minutes to seat the rings and lubricate all
the internal surfaces. Make sure there is no pressure build up in the tank by
observing the reading on the tank pressure gauge.
6. Place unloader valve in the “Closed” position as
shown.
7. Close the shut-off valve knob. This will allow air to
build pressure in the air tanks.
NOTE: When the air tank is pressurized, the tank pressure gauge will indicate
the pressure available in the air tank and the gasoline engine will reduce its
speed to idle and keep running. The pressurization of the air tank will be
adjusted automatically by the "reset" and "blow off" setting of the unloader
valve. When the pressure in the air tank drops to the "reset" value, the gasoline
engine will increase its rpm to operate the compressor and pressurize the
tanks. When the pressure in the air tank increases to the "blow off" value, the
engine rpm will drop to idle.
NOTE: Consult the engine manufacturer's manual for the proper engine
break-in running time and oil change interval for the engine used on your
air compressor as well as other engine maintenance requirements.
8. Compressed air will be available from the unit's outlet valve until it is used
up or bled off. The compressor is now ready for use.
Before each start-up
Perform the following checks before starting the air compressor.
1. Make sure nothing is blocking the belt guard, air openings, or air filter inlet.
2. Make sure the unloader valve moves freely and smoothly.
3. Check the oil level in the pump and engine, add oil if necessary.
Temperature of muffler and near by areas my exceed
150°F (65°C) avoid these areas.
