CAUTION
Before signing the delivery receipt, inspect for damage and missing parts.
If damage or missing parts are apparent, make the appropriate notation on
the delivery receipt, then sign the receipt. Immediately contact the carrier
for an inspection. All material must be held in the receiving location for
the carrier’s inspection. Delivery receipts that have been signed without a
notation of damage or missing parts are considered to be delivered “clear.’
Subsequent claims are then considered to be concealed damage claims.

INITIAL START-UP
PRESSURE SWITCH
The Pressure Switch is Pre-set at the required pressure. The range and
differential settings ARE NOT adjustable. The Pressure Switch should not be
tampered with in any way and no attempt should be made to adjust the
pressure settings as this could damage the Switch to the point of failure
and/or void any warranty for the Pressure Switch.
Follow this procedure before putting the unit into service for the first time:
1. Set the pressure switch lever to “OFF”.
2. Open the service valve fully to prevent air pressure from building
in the tank. (A=Open, B=Closed).
• Service Valve
3. Move the pressure switch lever to “ON/AUTO” The unit will start.
4. Run the unit for 30 minutes. Ensure the service valve is fully open
and there is no tank pressure build up.

3. Close the manual drain valve and apply power to the compressor.
If the pressure switch is equipped with an “ON/ AUTO-OFF” lever,
flip the switch to the “ON/AUTO” position. If the unit is equipped
with a control panel “ON/OFF” switch, move the switch to the
“ON” position.
NORMAL START-UP
1. Set the pressure switch lever to ‘OFF”.
2. Close the service valve.
3. Attach hose and accessory.
4. Move the pressure switch lever to ‘ON/AUTO”. The unit will start.
5. Allow tank pressure to build. The motor will stop when tank pressure
reaches cut-out pressure.
6. Open the service valve. The unit is now ready for use.
NOTICE
When the receiver tank pressure drops below the factory pre-set
minimum, the pressure switch resets and restarts the unit.

All compressed air systems contain maintenance parts (e.g.
lubricating oil, filters, separators) which are periodically
replaced. These used parts may be, or may contain, substances NOTICE

you schedule a certified tank inspection within the first five years of
compressor service. To arrange a tank inspection, contact the nearest IR Air
Center or distributor, or call 1-800-AIR SERV.
If the tank has not been inspected within the first 10 years of compressor
service, the receiver must be taken out of service until it has passed
inspection. Tanks that fail to meet requirements must be replaced.
WARNING
Failure to replace a rusted air receiver tank could result in air

to the deflection indicated in the table at right. Compare the reading
on the tension gauge to the table.
