BREAK-IN PROCEDURE
Risk of property damage. Serious damage may result ifthe following break-in instructions are not closely followed.This procedure is required before the air compressor is put intoservice for the first time and when the check valve or a compressorpump/motor has been replaced.
1. Ensure the On/Auto/Off switch (A) is in the OFF position.NOTE: If hose is not connected to Quick Connect body, pull couplerback until it clicks to prevent air from escaping through the quickconnect.
2. Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle. See Voltage and Circuit Protection under Installation.
3. Open the drain valve (turn lever counter-clockwise) fully to permitair to escape and prevent air pressure build up in the air tankduring the break-in period.
4. Move the On/Auto/Off switch to the ON position. The compressor will start.
5. Run the compressor for 15 minutes.
6. After 15 minutes, close the drain valve by turning lever clockwise. The tank will fill to cut-out pressure and the motor will stop.
7. Compressed air will be available until it is used or bled off.
