This procedure is required before the air compressor is put into service and when the
check valve or a complete compressor pump has been replaced.
1. Make sure the Auto/Off switch (D) is in the "Off" position.
2. Check oil level in pump. See Pump Oil-Checking paragraph in the Maintenance
section for instructions.
3. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. (Refer to Voltage
and Circuit Protection paragraph in the Installation section of this manual.)
4. Open the drain valves (K) (counterclockwise) fully to permit air to escape and
prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during the break-in period.
5. Move the Auto/Off switch to "Auto" position. The compressor will start.
6. Run the compressor for 20 minutes. Make sure the drain valve is open and there
is minimal air pressure build-up in tank.
7. After 20 minutes, close the drain valves by turning clockwise. The air receiver will
fill to "cut-out" pressure and the motor will stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.
BEFORE EACH START-UP
