Troubleshooting guide

11 - ENG D21879
How to Start
1. Turn the On/Auto/Off lever to “AUTO” and allow
tank pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank
pressure reaches “cut-out” pressure.
2. When the tank pressure reaches “cut-out” pres-
sure open the globe valve.
IMPORTANT: When using regulator and other acces-
sories refer to the manufacture instructions.
NOTE: Always operate the air compressor in well-
ventilated areas free of gasoline or other combustible
vapors. If the compressor is being used to operate a
sprayer DO NOT place compressor near the spray
area.
Before Starting
Break-in Procedure
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 and when the check valve or a
complete compressor pump has been replaced.
1. Make sure the On/Auto/Off lever is in the "OFF"
position.
2.
Recheck all wiring. Make sure wires are secure at
all terminals connections. Make sure all contacts
move freely and are not obstructed.
3. Open the globe valve 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/Auto/Off lever to "ON/AUTO" posi-
tion. The compressor will start.
5. Run the compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure
the globe valve is open and there is minimal air
pressure build-up in tank.
How to Use Your Unit
How to Stop:
1. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to “OFF”.
Before Each Start-Up
1. Place On/Auto/Off lever to “OFF”.
2. Close the globe valve.
3. Attach hose and accessories. NOTE: A regulator
MUST be installed when using accessories rated
at less than 175 PSI
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.
6. Check all air line fittings and connections/piping
for air leaks by applying a soap solution. Correct if
necessary. NOTE: Minor leaks can cause the air
compressor to overwork, resulting in premature
breakdown or inadequate performance.
7. Check for excessive vibration. Readjust or shim
air compressor feet, if necessary.
8. After 15 minutes, move the On/Auto/Off lever to
"OFF" position and close the globe valve.
7. Move the On/Auto/Off lever to "ON/AUTO" posi-
tion. The air receiver will fill to “cut-out” pressure
and the motor will stop.
