6. Grasp the hose and pull to ensure that the couplers are seated.
7. Adjust the regulator to the desired pressure.
DISCONNECTING HOSES
WARNING: Firmly grasp the hose when installing or disconnecting
to prevent hose whip.
1. Ensure that the regulated pressure gage reads 0 PSI.
2. Grasp the hose at the coupler.
3. Pull back the collar on female quick-connect coupler located on the
compressor.
4. Pull the male connector out of the female connector.
5. Release the female connector.
DRAINING TANKS
WARNING: Tanks contain high pressure air. Keep the drain outlet
away from face and other body parts. Use safety glasses when
draining the tank because debris can be propelled into face. Use ear
protection because air flow noise is loud when draining tanks.
NOTE: All compressed air systems generate condensate that
accumulates in any drain point (e.g. tanks, filter, aftercoolers, dryers).
This condensate contains lubricating oil and/or substances which may
be regulated and must be disposed of in accordance with local, state,
and federal laws and regulations.
1. Ensure that the compressor is not running and the engine is off.
2. Move the compressor into an inclined position so that the drain
valve(s) are at the lowest point This will assist in removing
moisture, dirt, etc. from the tanks.
3. Place a suitable container under the drain to catch discharge.
4. Grasp the knurled drain knob.
5. Slowly rotate the knob counterclockwise to gradually bleed air from
tank.
6. When the tank is at 10 psi, rotate valve to the fully open position.
7. Close the drain valve when finished.
Preparation For Use
INITIAL SET-UP
Read safety instructions before setting-up the air compressor.
1. Remove the oil plug.
2. Pour D WALT synthetic oil into crankcase (4 oz.).
E
WARNING: THE COMPRESSOR IS SHIPPED WITHOUT OIL IN THE
CRANKCASE. ADD OIL.
3. Insert the dipstick.
4. Close the tank drain valve.
CAUTION: Do not operate without lubricant or with inadequate
lubricant. D WALT is not responsible for compressor failure caused by
E
inadequate lubrication.
Compatibility
Air tools and accessories that are operated with the compressor must
be compatible with petroleum based products. If you suspect that a
material is not compatible with petroleum products, use an air line filter
for removal of moisture and oil vapor in compressed air. NOTE:
Always use an air line filter to remove moisture and oil vapor when
spraying paint.
Location
CAUTION: In order to avoid damaging the air compressor, do not
allow the unit to be tilted more than 10˚ when operating.
Place air compressor at least 3 feet away from obstacles that may
prevent proper ventilation. Keep unit away from areas that have dirt
and/or volatile fumes in the atmosphere. These impurities may clog
the intake filter and valves, causing inefficient operation.
HUMID AREAS
In frequently humid areas moisture may form in the bare pump and
produce sludge in the lubricant, causing running parts to wear out
prematurely. Excessive moisture is especially likely to occur if the unit
is located in an unheated area that is subject to large temperature
changes. Two signs of excessive humidity are external condensation
