Spraying precautions
Page 4
Perform these maintenance operations
1. Do Not spray in the vicinity of open flames
or other places where a spark can cause
ignition. Do Not smoke when spraying
paint, insecticides, or other flammable
substances.
1. When spraying with solvents or toxic chemi-
cals, follow the instructions provided by the
chemical manufacturer. Consult a safety
expert if unsure about the use of masks or
respirators.
2. If the material you intend to spray contains
trichloreoethane and methylene chloride, do
not use accessories that contain aluminum or
galvanized materials, as these chemicals can
react with galvanized components causing
corrosion and weakening equipment. Use
stainless steel accessories.
WARNING
Never point a spray gun at yourself or any
other person or animal. Accidental discharge
may result in serious injury.
Reduce the risk of dangerous
environment
WARNING
Extreme caution should be taken when
spraying flammable liquids as the spark from
a motor or pressure switch may cause a fire
or explosion. Ample ventilation must be
provided.
WARNING
Spray in a well ventilated area to keep fumes
from collecting and causing serious injury and
fire hazards.
Be informed about the materials you use
1. Do regular maintenance; keep all nuts, bolts,
and screws tight, to be sure equipment is in
safe working condition.
2. Inspect tank yearly for rust, pin holes or any
other imperfections that could cause it to
become unsafe.
NEVER attempt to repair or modify a tank!
Welding, drilling or any other modification will
weaken the tank resulting in damage from
rupture or explosion. Always replace worn,
cracked or damaged tanks.
3. Clean electrical equipment with an approved
cleaning agent, such as a dry, non-flam-
mable cleaning solvent.
Daily
Check oil level at sight glass. Oil level should
be 1/2 to slightly higher in the oil sight glass.
Drain moisture from tank.
Verify the pressure switch unloader is
working by listening for a brief hissing sound
when the compressor shuts off.
Visually check the compressor for loose parts,
excessive noise or vibration. Tighten any
necessary part.
WARNING
4. Drain tanks of moisture after each day’s use.
If unit will not be used for awhile, it is best to
leave the drain cock open until such time as it
is to be used. This will allow moisture to
completely drain out and help prevent
corrosion of inside of tank.
5. Always disconnect from power source before
working on or near a motor, or its connected
load. If power disconnect point is out-of-
sight, secure it in the “OFF” position and tag it
to prevent unexpected application of power.
Disconnect power and depressurize system
before servicing air compressor. Slightly open
drain cock after shutting off compressor.
Monthly
(Make sure the main power is off.) Check the belts
for tension. Belts should not move up and down
when the compressor runs and when stopped,
should not have more than ½ in of play when
depressed. Be careful not to over tighten belts
during adjustment.
Remove and check air filter, replace if necessary.
Change oil every 3 months or 300 hours. A
compressor grade 30 wt non-detergent oil should
be used. 40 wt non-detergent for single stage.

STARTING THE COMPRESSOR
Prior to actually running the compressor,
check the following items:
Crankcase oil - Make sure the sight glass
shows ½ full or slightly above.
Make sure all rags, tools, oil, etc. are away
from the unit.
Open the air system to free it of any pressure.
Switch the compressor on for a few
revolutions to make sure the rotation is
correct. Correct rotation is clockwise
when facing the sight glass on the pump.
Operate the compressor for a few minutes
unloaded (air system open) then allow the
compressor to pump up. Make sure the
electrical pressure switch properly switches
off the compressor according to the setting
desired. 175 for Two Stage.
(135 psi - Single Stage or 165 psi - RCP-561VNS)
Make sure the pressure in the tank does
not exceed its rating. Single Stage units - 135 psi
Two Stage units at a maximum of 175 psi.
(165 for Model RCP-561VNS)
If the pressure gauge indicates a pressure that
is higher than these maximum pressures,
shut off compressor immediately and call
your distributor.
STARTING THE COMPRESSOR
CAUTION
Page 10
Alternating Running Procedure
Initial power to the controller takes about 5 seconds to power up and run
Motor A will start and then Motor B after a 10 second delay
Both motors will run until unit reaches cutoff pressure (175 psi)
Each time the unit starts after initial start, the “Lead” motor will alternate
If the unit runs for more than 5 minutes, the second Motor will come on and run
until the unit reaches cutoff pressure
The second motor will also come on if the air demand is higher than one pump/
motor can produce and the pressure drops to around 135 psi (10 sec. delay)
A or B Running Procedure
By selecting A or B on the switch, either Pump/Motor A or Pump/Motor B will
operate independently, as a simplex compressor.

Do not open a manual tank drain valve on any air tank containing
more than 30 PSIG of air pressure!
Never attempt to releive an air tank by removing a pipe plug or
any other system component!
Manually Draining An Air Tank:
Step 1)
Disconnect & lockout the compressor from the power source (elec
tric models) or disconnect the spark plug wire from the spark plug
(gas engine models).
Step 2)
Tank(s) subjected to freezing temperatures may contain ice. Store
the compressor in a heated area before attempting to drain mois
ture from the tank(s). Reduce the air pressure in the tank to 30
PSIG by pulling the pressure relief valve ring (refer to Fig. 3-4,
Checking Pressure Relief Valves & Relieving System Pres
sure ).
Step 3) Slowly open the drain valve and allow the moisture and air mixture
to drain from the tank.
Step 4) Once the moisture has been completely drained, close the drain
valve.
Oil and moisture residue must be drained from the air receiver
daily or after each use. Accumulations of oil residue in the receiver
can be ignited by embers of carbon created by the heat of compression
causing an explosion, damage to property and injury to personnel
