Operating Procedures - DeWalt D55170 Guide D'utilisation

5. Move the On/Off switch to the ON position. The compressor will
start.
6. Run the compressor for 20 minutes.
7. After 20 minutes, close the drain valve by turning clockwise so
the air tank pressure can build.
(D55170, D55180) NOTE: Rotate the manual lock on the pilot
valve into the closed position. NOTE: After the compressor
reaches blow-off pressure the unit will continue to run but will
not build additional tank pressure until the air is used and the
pilot valve reset pressure is reached. A slight air noise may be
heard while the air is being unloaded through the pump head.
8. 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. (D55170, D55180) Rotate the manual lock pilot valve lever to the
open position to assist with start up.
3. Move the On/Off switch to the ON position. The compressor will
start.
4. (D55170, D55180) Rotate manual lock pilot valve lever to the
closed position to allow air tank pressure to build.
5. Allow compressor to pump up to blow-off/cut-off pressure.
(D55170, D55180) NOTE: After the compressor reaches blow-
off pressure the unit will continue to run but will not build
additional tank pressure until the air is used and the pilot valve
reset pressure is reached. A slight air noise may be heard while
the air is being unloaded through the pump head.
NOTE: If any unusual noise or vibration is noticed, stop the compressor
and refer to the troubleshooting section.
6. Attach hose and accessory.
CAUTION: Risk of unsafe operation. Compressed air from the unit
may contain wa ter condensation and oil mist. Do not spray un fil tered
air at an item that could be damaged by moisture. Some air op er ated
tools or de vic es may require filtered air. Read the in struc tions for the
air tool or device.
7. Adjust regulator (F) to desired setting. See Regulator under
Features.

NOTE: Compressor must be running when performing the following
operation
WARNING: Hot surfaces. Risk of burn. Aftercooler, pump head,
and surrounding parts are very hot, do not touch (see the Hot
Surfaces identified in Fig. 2). Allow compressor to cool prior to
servicing.
WARNING: Risk of moving parts. Keep your hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair
can be caught in moving parts. Air vents may cover moving parts and
should be avoided as well.
STOP START MODE
1. Ensure the On/Off switch (C) is in the OFF position.
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).
4. Move the On/Off switch to the ON position. The compressor will
start.
5. Turn knob on top of pilot valve (H) clockwise until fully closed.
6. Close drain valve (clockwise).
