Break-In Procedure
Before first use of this equipment, the system must undergo a
break-in operation, as described in this section.
1. Make sure ON - OFF switch is in OFF position
(see Figure 2).
2. Plug power cord into grounded 120 Volt A.C. outlet (see
Grounding Instructions on page 8).
3. Open Drain Valve (rotate fully counterclockwise) to
prevent air pressure build-up in air tank during break-in
period (see Figure 3).
NOTE: Always drain air tank over a washable surface or in a
suitable container to prevent damaging or staining surfaces.
4. Pull ON - OFF switch to ON position. Compressor will
start.
NOTE: If you hear leaking air, pull quick connect coupler
back until it clicks to reset coupler valve.
5. Run compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure Drain Valve
remains open.
6. After 15 minutes, close Drain Valve (rotate fully
clockwise). Air tank will fill to “cut-out” pressure and
compressor will stop.
NOTE: Check oil level in compressor after break-in.
The compressor has completed the break-in procedure and is
ready for normal use.
