Operating Your Air Compressor - Makita MAC3001 Manuel D'instructions

OPERATING YOUR AIR COMPRESSOR

ELECTRIC DRIVE WITH DUAL CONTROL
1) Check unit for any damage.
2) Check compressor oil level, fill or add if necessary.
3) Pressure switch "Off/Auto" knob should be in "Off" position.
4) Plug in power cord to proper electrical outlet.
5) Stop/Start (pressure switch) control
a) Shut-off valve on pilot unloader should be closed ("knurled" knob
on top of the pilot unloader should be turned all the way down).
b) Turn pressure switch "Off/Auto" switch to "Auto". Electric motor
should now start and fill air receiver(s) with compressed air until
cut-out pressure is reached. Compressor should stop and remain
stopped until air receiver pressure reaches the cut-in pressure.
The unit will continue to cycle in this automatic operation until it is
turned off.
6) Continuous run (pilot unloader) control
a) Open the shut-off valve on pilot unloader ("knurled" knob on top of
the pilot unloader should be turned all the way up).
b) Turn pressure switch "Off/Auto" switch to "Auto". Electric motor
should now start and fill air receiver(s) with compressed air until
full pressure is reached. To engage continuous run, turn "knurled"
knob down. Your compressor will idle down and continue to idle
once maximum pressure is achieved. When cut-in pressure is
reached, the unloader valve will de-activate and unit will compress
air. The unit will continue in this automatic operation until the unit
is stopped ("Off/Auto" switch turn to the "Off" position and/or
electric power supply is disconnected).
7) You can switch at anytime from Stop/Start to Continuous Run and vice
versa by opening or closing the valve on the pilot unloader.
