Operating Procedures - DeWalt D55684 Guide D'utilisation

NOTE: To ensure maximum oil lubrication, place the unit on a level
surface.
9. As the engine warms up, move the choke to the OPEN position.
10. Run the air compressor for 30 minutes to seat the rings and
lubricate all the internal surfaces. Ensure there is no pressure
build up in the air tank by observing the reading on the air tank
pressure gauge.
11. Rotate the manual lock on the unloader valve into the closed
position so the air tank pressure can build.
12. Close the pressure regulator. Rotate the regulator knob (F)
counterclockwise to its built-in stop and push knob in to lock in
place. This will allow air to build pressure in the air tank.
13. Compressed air will be available from the hose air outlet until it is
used up or bled off.

OPERATING PROCEDURES

Start-up (Fig. 1)
1. Follow Pre-Start Checklist under Preparation for Use.
2. Pull out and turn regulator knob (F) counterclockwise until fully
closed. Push in to lock. Regulated pressure gauge should read
0 PSI.
3. Rotate the manual lock unloader lever to the open position to
assist with start up.
4. Turn the engine ON/OFF switch (C) to the ON Position.
5. Place the fuel valve lever (T) in the ON postion.
6. If the engine is cold, move the choke (S) to the CLOSED position

position.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Pull starter grip slowly until
resistance is felt. Then pull starter grip (P) rapidly to avoid kickback
and prevent hand or arm injury.
NOTE: Do not allow the starter grip to snap back. Return it gently
by hand.
NOTE: If the oil level in the engine is low, the engine will not start.
If the engine does not start, check the oil level and add oil as
needed.
NOTE: To ensure maximum oil lubrication, place the unit on a level
surface.
8. As the engine warms up, move the choke to the OPEN position.
9. Rotate manual lock unloader lever to the closed position to allow
air tank pressure to build. NOTE: Pump will not operate with the
manual lock unloader lever in the open position.
10. Allow compressor to pump up to blow off pressure.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. If any unusual noise
or vibration is noticed, stop the compressor and refer to the
troubleshooting section.
NOTE: The air compressor pump is capable of running continuously.
To prolong the air compressor's life, it is recommended to run at high
throttle 50-75% of the run time and idle for 25% of the run time
11. Attach hose and accessory.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Do not use damaged or worn
accessories.
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.
12. Adjust regulator (F) to desired setting. See Regulator under
Features.
