To start-up
6. Start the engine (see engine manual supplied by engine manufacturer for
correct procedure) and close unloader to allow tank pressure to pump up to
blow-off pressure.
Unit is top heavy. Make sure the compressor is stable and
will not tip before pulling the starting cord.
Too much air pressure causes a hazardous risk of
bursting. Closely monitor the air pressure gauge of the
tank so the maximum pressure limit is not exceeded and monitor the
safety valve to ensure excess pressure is discharged. If pressure
continues to build beyond safe limits, shut the unit down immediately and
troubleshoot the problem.
7. Check all fittings and piping for air leaks. Even minor leaks can cause the
air compressor to overwork, resulting in premature breakdown or
unsatisfactory performance.
8. Check for any unusual vibration and noise.
9. Check for oil leaks and correct any leaks found.
10. Check the pressure ratings of the air tools and accessories being used with
this air compressor before attaching, then adjust the shut-off valve for that
value.
The air compressor's outlet pressure must never exceed
the maximum pressure rating of the tool or accessory
being used. If a pressure regulator is not used, do not use accessories
rated at less than 110 psi.
11. Attach air hose and accessory. Your unit is ready for use.
Compressed air from the unit may contain water
condensation and oil mist. Do not spray unfiltered air at an
item that could be damaged by moisture. Some air operated tools or de-
vices may require filtered air. Read the instructions for the air tool or
device.
Shutting Down
12. Push down engine stop lever and hold until engine shuts off.
13. Close shut-off valve.
14. Remove the air tool or accessory.
15. Open shut-off valve and allow air to slowly bleed from the tank. Close the
shut-off valve or when the tank pressure is approximately 20 PSIG.
Drain air tank daily. Water will condense in air tank. If not
drained, water will corrode and weaken the air tank
causing a risk of tank rupture.
16. With tank pressure at approximately 20 PSIG, open the drain valves and
allow moisture to drain.
NOTE: If drain cock is clogged, release all air pressure. The drain cock can
then be removed, cleaned, and reinstalled.
17. After the water has been drained, close the drain cocks. The air compressor
can now be stored.
4. Clean or blow off fins or any part of the air compressor that collects dust
and dirt. The air compressor will run cooler and provide longer service.
5. Open the unloader valve of the air compressor before starting the engine.
