Sears Craftsman 919.150280 - Manual (Page 7)

OPERATING PROCEDURES
1. Before plugging in the air compressor, set the adjust­
able pressure valve to “Start”. Make sure the “ON-
OFF” switch is in the “OFF” position.
2. Connect the air hose to the air outlet adapter. Tighten
securely.
3. Connect the air too! or accessory to the air hose.
Tighten securely.
4. Plug the power cord into the grounded outlet.
5. Start the compressor by setting the “ON-OFF” switch
to the “ON” position.
TOO MUCH A!R PRESSURE COULD CAUSE
AN AIR TOOL OR VEHICLE TIRE TO RUP­
TURE OR EXPLODE, CAREFULLY FOLLOW
STEPS 6 AND 7 EACH TIME YOU USE YOUR
COMPRESSOR.
6. Check the manufacturer's maximum pressure rating
for the air tool, accessory or vehicle tire being used.
The air compressor outlet pressure must never
exceed the maximum pressure rating.
7. Slowly increase the pressure setting of the adjustable
pressure valve. You should be able to hear and fee!
air pressure being relieved by the adjustable pressure
valve. If pressure is not being relieved, turn the air
compressor off immediately. The pressure valve
must be replaced.
NOTE
If the air compressor has been briefly turned off,
the adjustable pressure valve must be reset to
the “Start” position. The air compressor will not
start with backpressure applied to the piston.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
DURING MAINTENANCE, YOU COULD BE EXPOSED TO VOLTAGE SOURCES, COMPRESSED
AIR OR MOVING PARTS. PERSONAL INJURIES CAN OCCUR. UNPLUG THE COMPRESSOR
AND BLEED OFF ALL AIR PRESSURE BY TURNING THE ADJUSTABLE PRESSURE VALVE TO
THE START POSITION BEFORE DOING ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIR.
Air Intake Filter - Replacement
NOTE
Keep air intake filter clean at all times. Do not
operate the compressor with the filter removed.
A dirty air intake filter will not allow the compressor to
operate at full capacity. When the filter becomes dirty, it
must be cleaned or replaced. To replace the filter, simply
pull it out and replace with a new one. If it is dirty, simply
pull it out. You may wash it with a miid detergent and
warm water.
Motor
The motor has an automatic reset thermal overload pro­
tector. If the motor overheats for any reason, the over­
load protector will shut off the motor. The motor must be
allowed to cool. The motor will automatically re-start
after the motor has cooled.
NOTE
If the overload protector shuts the motor off fre­
quently, check for a possible voltage problem.
Low voltage can also be suspected when:
1. the motor does not get up to full power or
speed;
2. fuses blow out when starting the motor;
3. lights dim and remain dim when motor is
started and running.
