Resumen del manual
The tank drain valve allows moisture to be removed from the tank. Note that each tank has its own tank drain valve. 6. Unloader. The unloader controls the engine rpm. When loaded, the engine will run at maximum operating speed and air will enter the tank. When unloaded, the engine will slow to an idle and air will vent to atmosphere. 7. Belt Guard. The belt guard encloses the pulleys and drive belt. It protects the user from moving parts and directs cooling air to the compressor pump Dipstick Add Oil Max Low Fill Line Figure 3 Close Open Attach Hose Figure 4 Figure 2 8 9 Operating Your Air Compressor All lubricated compressor pumps dis- charge some condensed water and oil with the compressed air.

NOTICEDrain liquid from tank daily. NOTICEDo not attach air tools to open end of the hose until start-up is completed and unit checks OK. !CAUTION trols as necessary for the intended appli- cation. Failure to install appropriate water/oil removal equipment may result in damage to machinery or workpiece. NOTICE Moisture in Compressed Air Moisture in compressed air will form into droplets as it comes from an air compressor pump. When humidity is high or when a compressor is in continuous use for an extended period of time, this moisture will collect in the tank. When using a paint spray or sandblast gun, this water will be carried from the tank through the hose, and out of the gun as droplets mixed with the spray material. IMPORTANT: This condensation will cause water spots in a paint job, especially when spraying other than water based paints. If sandblasting, it will cause the sand to cake and clog the gun, rendering it ineffective. A filter in the air line, located as near to the gun as possible, will help eliminate this moisture. Lubrication THIS UNIT CONTAINS NO OIL! Follow lubrication instructions before operating compressor. !CAUTION Remove the dipstick/ breather and fill pump with 12 ounces of oil. Use single vis- cosity, ISO 100 (SAE 30), non-detergent compressor oil; or Mobil 1® 5W30 or 10W30 synthetic oil may also be used. Proper oil fill is illustrated in Figure 5. Start-Up 1. Fill engine with oil and gasoline per instructions furnished with engine. 2. Remove the compressor dipstick breather and fill pump to the proper oil level. 3. Turn regulator knob counterclockwise to open air flow. 4. Turn manual unloader lever up to a horizontal position to allow the compressor pump to run without compressing air. (See Figure 6). Dipstick Add Oil Max Low Fill Line Figure 5 Figure 6 - Manual Lever Unloaded Position 10 11 Operating Your Air Compressor (continued) To Start Gasoline Engine 5. Move the choke lever to the CHOKE position, turn the fuel lever ON, and turn the engine stop switch to the ON position. 6. Pull start grip lightly until resistance is felt, and then pull briskly. 7. As the engine warms up, gradually move the choke lever to the open position. See gas engine manual for more details. 8. Run the compressor unloaded for approximately 30 minutes to break in the pump. 9. After approximately 30 minutes, move the unloader lever down to the loaded position and turn the regulator knob clockwise (See Figures 7 and 8). The compressor will begin to pump air into the tank. When maximum tank pressure is reached, the compressor automatically unloads, bringing the engine to idle. The engine remains at idle until tank pressure falls to a preset level. The engine then accelerates and the compressor pumps additional air into the tank.

In order to maintain efficient operation of the compressor system, check the air filter weekly (per maintenance schedule), oil level and gasoline level before each use. The ASME safety valve should also be checked weekly. Pull ring on safety valve and allow the ring to snap back to normal position. This valve automatically releases air if the tank pressure exceeds the preset maximum. If air leaks after the Figure 9 ring has been released, or the valve is stuck and cannot be actuated by the ring, the ASME safety valve MUST be replaced. With engine OFF, clean debris from engine, flywheel, tank, air lines and pump cooling fins. Maintenance Schedule Operation Daily Weekly Monthly 3 Months Check Oil Level . Drain Tank .
