Air

Compressors

Description

Air compressorunits are intended to

provide compressedair to power pneu-

matic tools, operate sprayguns and sup-

ply air for pneumatic valves and actua-

tors. The pumps supplied with these

units have oil lubricated bearings. A

small amount of oil carryover ispresent

in the compressed air stream.

Applications requiring air free of oil

vapor should have the appropriate filter

installed. The air compressorunits are to

be mounted per the instructionsprovid-

ed on a solid floor. Any other use of

these units will void the warranty and

the manufacturer will not be responsi-

ble for problems or damages resulting

from such misuse.Refer to the enclosed

"Replacement PartsManual" to identify

compressoras single stage or two-stage.

Breathable Air Warning

This compressor/pump is NOT

equipped and should NOT be used

"as is" to supply breathing quality

air. Forany application of air for

human consumption, you must fit

the air compressor/pump with suit-

able in-line safety and alarm equip-

ment. This additional equipment is

necessary to properly filter and puri-

fy the air to meet minimal specifica-

tions for Grade D breathing as

described in Compressed Gas

Association Commodity

application and proper in-line safety

and alarm equipment is not simulta-

neously used, existing warranties

are void, and the company disclaims

any liability whatsoever for any

loss, personal injury or damage.

6. DO not stand on or use the unit as

a handhold.

7. Before each use, inspect compressed

air system and electrical components

for signs of damage, deterioration,

weakness or leakage. Repair or

replace defective itemsbefore using.

8. Check all fasteners at frequent

intervals for proper tightness.

If so, the larger size wire should be used to prevent excessive line voltage drop. The additional wire cost isvery small compared with the cost of repairing or replacing a motor electrically "starved" by the use of supply wires which are too small.

Air Compressors Operation the air filter and oil level before each use. The ASME safety valve should also be checked daily (See Figure 8). Pull ring on safety valve and allow the ring to snap back to normal position, This valve automatically releases air if the tank pressure exceeds the preset maximum. If air leaks after the ring has been released, or the valve isstuck and (Cont.) cannot be actuated by the ring, the ASME safety valve must be replaced.
