Operating Your Air Compressor

Before starting the compressor,

thoroughly read all component

instruction manuals, especially

the engine manual.

NOTICE:

Failure to install appropriate

water/oil removal equipment

may result in damage to

machinery or workpiece.

NOTICE:

Drain liquid from tank daily.

NOTICE:

Do not attach air tools to open

end of the hose until start-up is

completed and unit checks OK.

!

CAUTION:

Moisture in Compressed Air

Moisture in compressed air will form into

droplets as it comes from an air compres-

sor pump. When humidity is high or when

a compressor is in continuous use for an

extended period of time, this moisture will

collect in the tank. When using a paint

spray or sandblast gun, this water will be

carried from the tank through the hose,

and out of the gun as droplets mixed with

the spray material.

IMPORTANT: This condensation will

cause water spots in a paint job, especial-

ly when spraying other than water based

paints. If sandblasting, it will cause the

sand to cake and clog the gun, rendering

it ineffective.

A filter in the air line, located as near to

the gun as possible, will help eliminate

this moisture.
