Preparation For Use; Pre-Start Checklist; Break-In Procedure - DeWalt D55684 Guide D'utilisation

NOTE: All compressed air systems generate condensate that
accumulates in any drain point (e.g., tank, filter, aftercoolers, dryers).
This condensate contains oil and/or substances which may be
regulated and must be disposed of in accordance with local, state,
and federal laws and regulations.

PREPARATION FOR USE

Pre-Start Checklist

1. Ensure engine ON/OFF switch (C) is in the OFF Position.
2. Ensure air tank is drained, see Draining Air Tank under
Maintenance.
3. Ensure the drain valve (J) is closed.
4. Ensure safety valve (I) is functioning properly, see Checking
Safety Valve under Maintenance.
5. Check pump oil level, see Compressor Pump Oil under
Maintenance.
CAUTION: Do not operate without oil or with inadequate oil. D
is not responsible for compressor failure caused by inadequate oil.
6. Check engine's oil and fuel level, see engine's instruction manual
for correct procedures.
7. Visually inspect drive belt. Replace belt if frayed, cracked, or worn.
NOTE: Outer belt cover must be removed to inspect drive belt.
8. Ensure all guards, covers, and labels are in place, legible (for
labels) and securely mounted. Do not use compressor until all
items have been verified.
Initial Set-up (Fig. 1)
Read safety instructions before setting-up air compressor.

BREAK-IN PROCEDURE

WARNING: Risk of property damage. Serious damage may result
if the following break-in instructions are not closely followed.
This procedure is required:
• Before the air compressor is used for the first time.
• When the unloader valve has been replaced.
• When the compressor pump has been replaced.
The procedure:
1. Follow Pre-Start Checklist under Preparation for Use.
2. Rotate the unloader's manual lock to the open position to
prevent air tank pressure buildup.
3. Open the pressure regulator. Pull regulator knob (F) out and
rotate clockwise until it stops.
WARNING: Do not operate this unit until you read and understand

tion. Pull starter grip slowly until resis-
tance is felt. Then pull starter grip (P) rapidly to avoid kickback and
prevent hand or arm injury.
