in its own carrying case and includes an air storage tank and an automatic pressure

switch control.

Congratulations

This system is engineered to provide many years of reliable service. Please read

the instructions provided in this manual to receive the best and longest service from

your Aseptico equipment.

Separate manuals may be provided to cover the operation and maintenance of other

accessories for your unit.

SYMBOL DEFINITIONS:

IMPORTANT:

If the electric power is interrupted by a

power failure, unplugging the power

cord, or by any other means, while the

compressor is running, turn the

AUTO/OFF lever to 'OFF' and then back

to 'AUTO' to relieve back pressure and

restart the compressor. If the power is

interrupted, follow these steps

immediately to prevent any motor

damage.

OPERATION:

After unpacking the compressor, open the

case and locate the remote power cord

and air intake filter inside (see Figure 1).

Screw the air intake filter into the 1/4" NPT

hole in the top of the compressor head

assembly. Plug the power cord into the

receptacle on the outside end of the case

(see Figure 2) and then into a grounded

power outlet. The AA-74 compressor is

operated by an AUTO/OFF lever on the

top side of the pressure switch inside the

compressor case. By turning the lever to

the 'AUTO' position, the compressor will

start and stop automatically to maintain

pressure. The pressure switch is factory

adjusted to properly start and stop. To turn

the compressor off, turn the lever to the

'OFF' position.

1. After plugging the compressor in and

turning on, close the lid for operation. Let

the compressor run until it stops, indicating

full pressure.

2. Locate the air output 1/4" quick disconnect

and pressure gauge on the end of the

compressor case (see Figure 2). Connect

a 1/4" male coupling from your equipment

to the air output fitting. The pressure

gauge indicates pressure in the air storage

tanks and gives a visual indication that the

compressor is maintaining pressure

properly.

3. The AA-74 compressor will cycle on and

off as air is consumed during use. This is

normal for operation. Turn compressor off

if not used for extended periods of time.

FILTER DISC

Figure 4 - Replacing Air Filter

MAINTENANCE:

AIR STORAGE TANK- To avoid the risk of

moisture in the air lines or tank failure, drain

the tank after every use or every four hours of

running time to prevent condensation build-up

and corrosion inside the tanks. To drain tank,

allow the compressor to fully pressurize and

then turn AUTO/OFF lever to the off position.

Remove power cord from the receptacle on the

end of the compressor case, then turn the

compressor on end with the tanks in the lowest

position (see Figure 3). Carefully and quickly

turn and open drain fitting. Tip unit toward

drain and allow water to drain out with the air.

AIR FILTER- A dirty air filter will not allow the

air compressor to operate at full efficiency. If a

decrease in the supply air is noticed, it may be

necessary to replace the filter element. The

air filter is located inside the case just behind

the air output coupling. To replace, disconnect

hoses and unscrew the brass cylinder at the

mid-section. Remove filter disc and install a

new one (see Figure 4).

ELECTRICAL- The motor of this compressor

has a thermal overload protector. If the motor

should overheat, the overload protector will

shut off the motor. If this should occur, turn

the compressor off immediately and allow the

motor to cool. Restart the compressor. If the

compressor fails to start, the compressor may

need to cool further before attempting to

restart. If the overload protector shuts the

motor off frequently, you may have a low

voltage situation. Low voltage can be

suspected when:

1. The motor does not get up to full power or

speed.

2. Lights dim when compressor is started.

3. Other motor operated appliances fail to

operate properly.

4. Compressor shakes or hesitates when

starting.

A primary cause of voltage drop is using an

extension cord that is not heavy enough to

carry the current the AA-74 compressor draws.

An under-size or over-length extension cord

will cause a drop in line voltage, resulting in

loss of power and overheating. Aseptico does

not recommend using an extension cord when

powering the AA-74 compressor unit.

RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION:

1. The compressor should be located in a dry,

clean, and well ventilated area.

2. This compressor needs no lubrication and

should never be oiled. Applying oil to any

part could result in polluted air delivery to

the air handling equipment.

3. If compressor is run for extended periods

of time, open case for more efficient

cooling.

4. All compressors generate heat even under

normal operating conditions. To avoid

serious burns, never touch the compressor

during or immediately after operation.

5. When unit is not in use, wrap cord and

store inside compressor. Do not abuse

cord.

6. Servicing should always be performed by

an Authorized Service Center.

7. ALWAYS use a grounded 3-prong plug-in.
