WARNING: Risk of Bursting. 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.
OPErATING PrOCEDurES
Start-up (Fig. 1)
1. Follow Pre-start Checklist under Preparation for Use.
2. Move the Auto/Off switch to the ON position and allow tank
pressure to build. Motor will stop when tank pressure reaches
cut-out pressure.
NOTICE: Risk of Property Damage. 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.
3. Adjust regulator (D) to desired setting. See regulator under
Features.
Shut-down (Fig. 1)
1. Move Auto/Off switch (A) to the OFF position. nOte: If finished
using compressor, follow Steps 2 - 6.
nOte: When the unit has been turned off, it is normal to hear a short
hiss of air being released.
2. Pull the regulator knob (D) out and turn counterclockwise until fully
closed. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 psi. Push knob
in to lock in place.
3. Remove hose and accessory.
WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose in hand
when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip.
4. Drain the air tank, see Draining Air tank under Maintenance.
Ensure air tank pressure gauge reads 0 psi.
WARNING: Risk of bursting. Drain air tank daily. Water will
condense in air tank. If not drained, water will corrode and weaken
the air tank causing a risk of air tank rupture.
5. Allow the compressor to cool down.
6. Wipe air compressor clean and store in a safe, non-freezing
area.
MAINTENANCE
The following procedures must be followed when maintenance or
service is performed on the air compressor.
1. Ensure Auto/Off switch is in the OFF position.
2. Remove air compressor plug from outlet.
3. Drain air tank.
4. Allow air compressor to cool down before starting service.
nOte: All compressed air systems contain maintenance parts (e.g.,
oil, filters, separators) that are periodically replaced. These used parts
may contain substances that are regulated and must be disposed of in
accordance with local, state, and federal laws and regulations.
nOte: Take note of the positions and locations of parts during
disassembly to make reassembly easier.
nOte: Any service operations not included in this section should
be performed by a D WALT factory service center or a D
e
authorized service center.
