swrtcn
Keep
safety
valve free from
pant
and other accumulations.
This
provides
safety against over
pressure.
23. Do regular
maintenance;
keep
all
nuts,
bolts, and screws tight,
to
be
sure
equipment
is in
safe
working
condition.
24. Keep
cleaning rags
and other
.
flammable
waste
materials in
a
tightly
closed
metal
container
and
dispose of
later
in the
proper
fashion.
25. Drain
tank of
moisture after
each
day's
use.
lf
unit
will
not
be used
for
a while, it is
best
to
leave
drain
cock
open
until such
time as
it
is
to be
used.
This will allow moisture
to
completely drain out and
help
prevent
corrosion of
inside
of
tank.
26. lnspect tank
yearly
for
rust,
pin
holes
or any other
imperfections
that
could
cause
it to
become unsafe.
NEVER
weld
or
drill
holes in
air
tank.
HOSE
The hose
should
be
assembled
to
hose
connector
or manifold and
tightened
snugly with
a wrench.
AIR COMPRESSOR INITIAL
START.UP PROCEDURE
1.
Check
to see that all bolts &
nuts
are tight.
2.
Check to
see
if
crank
case
has
proper
oil
(SAE
30
warm weathei'SAE
20
cold
weather non-detergent
oil).
3.
Oil
level
can be checked by
looking
at sight
glass
on.compressor crankcase. Oil level
should
be middle way of
red
dot on sight
glass.
Do
not
over-fill crankcase
with
oil.
(Oil
level
should not
exceed
top of
red
dot
on
sight
glass).
lf
crankcase
is
over-filled
excess
oil
will
be blown
out
and
create a
mess
on and around
compressor.
4. lnstall
air filter
supplied with
compressor
into
filter
hole
in
pump
head.
Making
sure
filter
cartridge
is inside
filter
canister.
(Some
models
have
plastic
filter
canisters
and others
have
metal).
BEFORE
STARTING
AIR
COMPRESSOR
1
.
Open air
drain
cock
located
on bottom
of tank to
drain
air from
tank(s).
2. Plug
power
cord
into
correct
power
source.
(lt
is
recommended
that
you
plug
compressor directly
into
outlet to insure
proper
voltage
(120
volt) and
amperage).
The
use of extension cords are
not
recommended
but
if
you
use an
extension
cord to
run
your
compressor
make
sure
cord
is
of
proper
size
to supply adequate
power
to
compressor.
3. Run compressor
with
out
building
up
pressure
in
tank
(with
drain cock open)
for
20
minutes to insure
proper
lubrication
of
bearings and
piston
rings.
4. After break-in
period
close
air drain
cock
allowing
tank(s) to fill with air.
When
pressure
in
tank
reaches
maximum
recommended
factory
psi
setting,
compressor
will
shut off.
When air
pressure
falls
below
minimum
factory
setting
compressor
will
re-start and return tank
pressure
to'maximum
setting.
5.
Your
air
compressor
in
now ready to use.
WIRING
1, Local electrical wiring
codes
differ
frorn
area
to
area, Source
wiring,
plug
and
protector
must
be
rated for
at
least
the
amperage and
voltage
indicatad
on motor nameplate, and
meet
all electrical
codes
for
this
minimum.
2. Use
a
slow blow
fuse type T
or a
circuit breaker.
Overheating,
short
circuiting
and fire
damage
will result from inadequate
wiring,
etc.
EXTENSION
CORDS
1.
Use
only a
3-wire extension cord
that
has
a 3-blade
grounding plug,
and a
3-slot
receptacle
that
will
accept
plug
on
product.
2. Make sure extension
cord
is in
good
condition, and
heavy
enough to
carry current
product
will draw.
An
undersized
cord
will
cause a
drop in
line voltage
resulting in
loss of
power
and overheating.
3.
To
avoid
loss of
power
and
overheating,
it
is
better
to
use
additional air
hose
instead
of
extension cords
to
reach work
area.
4.
Table below
shows correct
size to
use
depending on
cord
length
and
nameplate
ampere
rating.
lf in
doubt,
use
next
heavier
gauge.
NOTE:
The
smaller
the
gauge
number,
the heavier
the cord.
5.
This
product
is for
use on a
nominal
120
volt
circult
and
has
a
polarized
plug.
Make sure
that the
product
is
connected
to an
outlet
having the
same configuration as the
plug.
Do not use an adapter
with this
product!
