Voltage and Circuit Protection underInstallation.
3. Ensure air tank is drained, see Draining Air Tank under
Maintenance.
4. Ensure the drain valve (H) is closed.
5. Ensure safety valve (G) is functioning properly, see Checking
Safety Valve under Maintenance.
6. Check pump oil level, see Compressor Pump Oil
under Maintenance.
CAUTION: Do not operate without oil or with inadequate oil.
DEWALT
is not responsible for compressor failure caused by inadequateoil.
7. Turn regulator knob (D) counterclockwise until fully closed. Ensure
regulated pressure gauge reads 0 PSI (0 kPa).
8. Attach hose andaccessories.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hosewhip.
9. Ensure all covers and labels are in place, legible (for labels) and
securely mounted. Do not use compressor until all items have
beenveried.
WARNING: Risk of bursting. Too much air pressure causes a
hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer’s maximum
pressure rating for air tools and accessories. The regulator outlet
pressure must never exceed the maximum pressurerating.
INITIAL SET-UP (FIG. 1)
WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you read and
understand this instruction manual for safety, operation and
maintenanceinstructions.
BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
WARNING: Serious damage may result if the following break-in
instructions are not closelyfollowed.
This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into
service for the first time and when the check valve or a compressor
pump/motor has been replaced.
1. Ensure the On/Off switch (A) is in the OFFposition.
NOTE: If hose is not connected to Quick Connect body, pull
coupler back until it clicks to prevent air from escaping through the
quick connect.
2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
See Voltage and Circuit Protection underInstallation.
3. Open the drain valve (counter-clockwise) fully to permit air to
escape and prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during
the break-inperiod.
4. Move the On/Off switch to the ON position. The compressor
willstart.
5. Run the compressor for 20minutes.
6. After 20 minutes, close the drain valve by turning clockwise. The
tank will ll to cut-out pressure and the motor will stop.
7. Compressed air will be available until it is used or bled off.
OPERATING PROCEDURES
Start-up (Fig. 1)
1. Follow Pre-Start Checklist under Preparation for Use.
2. Move the On/Off switch to the ON position and allow tank
