English 1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 psi. 2. Apply sealant tape to hose threads. 3. Assemble hose to air outlet (F). IMPORTANT: Do not assemble splitters directly to the air outlet (F). NOTE: Assembling quick connect bodies (L) to air outlet (F) and quick connect plugs to hose ends make connecting and disconnecting hoses simple and easy. Quick connect bodies and plugs are available for purchase from your local dealer or authorized service center. DISCONNECTING HOSES WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp hose in hand when installing or disconnecting to prevent hose whip. 1. Ensure regulated pressure gauge reads 0 psi. 2. Remove hose from air outlet (F). Lubrication and Oil AIR COMPRESSOR The air compressor pump was filled WITH oil at the manufacturer. Check air compressor pump oil level before operating unit. See Compressor Pump Oil under Maintenance. Compatibility Air tools and accessories that are run off the compressor must be compatible with petroleum based products. If you suspect that a material is not compatible with petroleum products, an air line filter for removal of moisture and oil vapor in compressed air is required. NOTE: Always use an air line filter to remove moisture and oil vapor when spraying paint. Location • Locate the air compressor in a clean, dry, and well ventilated area. • Located the air compressor at least 12" (30.5 cm) away from the wall or other obstructions that will interfere with the flow of air. • Locate the air compressor as close to the main power supply as possible to avoid using long lengths of electrical wiring. NOTE: Long lengths of electrical wiring could cause power loss to the motor. • The air filter must be kept clear of obstructions which could reduce air flow to the air compressor. HUMID AREAS In frequently humid areas, moisture may form in the pump and produce sludge in the oil, causing running parts to wear out prematurely. Excessive moisture is especially likely to occur if the unit is located in an unheated area that is subject to large temperature changes. Two signs of excessive humidity are external condensation on the pump when it cools down and a "milky" appearance in compressor oil. You may be able to prevent moisture from forming in the pump by increasing ventilation or operating for longer intervals. NOISE CONSIDERATIONS Consult local officials for information regarding acceptable noise levels in your area. To reduce excessive noise, use vibration mounts or silencers, relocate the unit or construct total enclosures or baffle walls. Contact a DeWALT service center or call 1-888-895-4549 for assistance. Anchoring of the Air Compressor WARNING: Risk of bursting. Excessive vibration can weaken the air tank and cause an explosion. The compressor must be 11
