DEWALT Air Compressor Features
Pilot Valve
Pilot valves maintain a constant pressure
range while running continuously. The
pilot valve may be used to operate a
discharge line unloader or an unloading
device in the compressor head. The D
EWALT compressor unloads
through the compressor head. Unloading occurs when the receivers
(tanks) reach a preset cut-out pressure limit. The pilot valve opens,
actuating the unloading device that allows the compressor to run in
an unloaded mode. When the tank pressure drops to the preset cut-in
pressure, the pilot valve closes allowing the unloading device to close
and the compressor once again pumps air into the tanks.
Manual Lock
The manual lock allows you to manually unload the compressor with
air pressure in the tank. To operate the unloading device in the head,
rotate the flip lever to an in-line position (dashed lines). Be sure to
return lever to the loaded position after starting the engine or the pump
will not operate at preset pressures.
SAFETY RELIEF VALVE
This valve is designed to prevent system failures by relieving pressure
from the system when the compressed air reaches a predetermined
level. The valve is preset by the manufacturer and must not be
modified in any way.
AIR TANK DRAIN VALVE
The drain valve (A) is used to remove moisture
from the air tank after the air compressor is shut
off.

2. Turn screw (C) clockwise to
increase cut-out pressure limit or
counter clockwise to decrease
cut-out pressure. For example: if
the cut-out pressure limit on the
tank gage reads 120 PSI. and
desired cut out is 130 PSI, turn screw (C) clockwise.
3. Drain air from tanks through the drain valves until the pump begins
to charge tanks.
4. Close the drain valves.
5. Monitor tank pressure gage to ensure the new cut-out pressure
limit setting.
6. Once setting is complete hold screw (C) firmly and tighten nut (D).
PILOT VALVE PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL ADJUSTMENT
NOTE: The compressor can run during this adjustment.
WARNING : Aftercooler, pump head, and surrounding parts are

WARNING - Moving Parts: Keep your hair, clothing and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts. Air vents may cover moving parts and should
be avoided as well. Do not remove the protective covers from this
product.
1. Hold (E) firmly and loosen nut (F).
WARNING : Do not loosen barrel (E) more than 1 revolution
because the barrel is subjected to tank pressure and can burst out
harming the user or surrounding persons.
2. Turn the barrel (E) clockwise to increase differential or counter
clockwise to decrease the differential. For example, if the pressure
differential is 100 - 130 PSI and 100 - 120 PSI is desired, turn (E)
counter clockwise.
NOTE : Too narrow a differential can cause chatter of the pilot valve.
Increase the differential to eliminate chatter.

ing the pump. To ensure that the pump con-
tinually receives a clean, cool, and dry air
supply, the filter must always be clean and
the filter intake must be free from obstruc-
tions.
TANK PRESSURE GAGE
The tank pressure gauge indicates air pressure in the air tank.
REGULATED PRESSURE GAGE
The regulated pressure gage indicates the air pressure available at the
outlet side of the regulator. This pressure is controlled by the regulator
and is always less than or equal to the air tank pressure.
PRESSURE REGULATOR
The regulator knob controls the air pressure coming from the air tank.

Français
ACCESSOIRES
Lorsque la pression nominale des outils
pneumatiques, des pistolets pulvérisateurs, des
accessoires à commande pneumatique, des pneus
et autres produits gonflables est excédée, ces
composants pourraient exploser, ou se détacher et
se projeter en l’air, et entraîner des blessures
graves. Respecter les recommandations des
fabricants d’équipement et ne jamais excéder les pressions nominales
maximales permises des accessoires. Ne jamais utiliser le
compresseur pour gonfler de petits objets nécessitant une basse
pression comme des jouets d’enfant, des ballons de football et de
basket-ball, etc.
RISQUE D’EXPLOSION OU D’INCENDIE
Toujours faire fonctionner le compresseur dans un
endroit bien aéré, exempt de matériaux combustibles,
d’essence ou de vapeurs de solvants. Si des étincelles
électriques provenant du compresseur entrent en
contact avec des vapeurs inflammables, celles-ci
peuvent s’enflammer et entraîner un incendie ou une
explosion. Lorsqu’on pulvérise des matériaux inflammables, installer
le compresseur à au moins 6,10 m (20 pi) en amont de la zone de
pulvérisation; il pourrait s’avérer nécessaire d’utiliser une section
supplémentaire de boyau.
Entreposer les matériaux inflammables en un lieu sûr, loin du
compresseur.
Toute obstruction des prises d’air de ventilation du compresseur risque
de provoquer une surchauffe importante et entraîner un incendie. Ne
jamais placer d’objets sur le dessus du compresseur ou contre celui-
ci. Faire fonctionner le compresseur dans une zone dégagée, située à
au moins 0,91 m (3 pi) d’un mur ou de tout obstacle pouvant
restreindre l’apport d’air frais aux prises d’air de ventilation.
RISQUES CAUSÉS PAR LES OBJETS PROJETÉS EN L’AIR
Le flux d’air comprimé peut endommager les tissus mous de la peau
exposée et peut projeter à haute vitesse des impuretés, des
fragments, des particules détachées et de petits objets
pouvant causer des blessures graves. Lorsqu’on utilise
le compresseur, toujours porter des lunettes de sécurité
approuvées, conformes à la norme ANSI Z28.1, et
dotées d’écrans latéraux. Ne jamais diriger le flux d’air
vers des personnes ou vers des animaux. N’utiliser que
les soufflettes approuvées par la OSHA.
RISQUES CAUSÉS PAR LA RESPIRATION DE L’AIR
COMPRIMÉ
Il est dangereux de respirer l’air comprimé sortant du compresseur! Le
flux d’air peut contenir du monoxyde de carbone, des vapeurs
toxiques ou des particules solides. Ne jamais inhaler l’air comprimé du
compresseur directement ou au moyen d’un appareil respiratoire
raccordé au compresseur.
Les matériaux pulvérisés comme la peinture, les solvants de peinture,
les décapants, les insecticides, les herbicides, etc. contiennent des
vapeurs nocives et des poisons. REMARQUE : ne faire fonctionner
le compresseur que dans un endroit bien aéré. Lire et respecter les
consignes de sécurité indiquées sur l’étiquette ou les fiches
signalétiques du produit pulvérisé. Utiliser un appareil respiratoire
approuvé par NIOSH/MSHA et conçu pour une utilisation particulière.
RISQUES CAUSÉS PAR LES PIÈCES MOBILES
Le compresseur est conçu pour être utilisé en mode de
fonctionnement continu. Toujours mettre le compresseur hors tension
et purger la pression du boyau d’air et du réservoir avant d’en effectuer
l’entretien ou d’y fixer des outils ou des accessoires.
Toujours garder les cheveux, les vêtements et les
gants éloignés des pièces mobiles; les vêtements
amples, les bijoux ou les cheveux long peuvent y
rester coincés. On doit aussi éviter les évents qui
recouvrent les pièces mobiles, le cas échéant. Ne
pas retirer les couvercles de protection de cet
appareil. Ne jamais faire fonctionner le
compresseur si les dispositifs ou les couvercles de
16
Français
protection sont endommagés ou retirés. Ne jamais se tenir debout
sur le compresseur.
SURFACES CHAUDES
Ne pas toucher au métal à découvert (comme la tête de compresseur
ou le refroidisseur complémentaire) afin d’éviter les risques de
brûlures graves. Ne jamais toucher les pièces de métal à découvert du
compresseur pendant ou immédiatement après son fonctionnement.
Le compresseur demeure chaud pendant plusieurs minutes après son
arrêt. Ne pas déplacer le compresseur lorsqu’il est en marche. Les
pièces chaudes du moteur peuvent causer des brûlures à l’utilisateur,
qui risque de l’endommager ou de se blesser en l’échappant.
MOTEUR
Cet outil est entraîné par un moteur à essence Honda. On peut
prévenir la plupart des accidents causés par un moteur en suivant
toutes les directives du présent guide, du guide d’utilisation du moteur
ainsi que celles inscrites sur le moteur. Ces directives expliquent
quelques-uns des risques les plus courants et décrivent les meilleures
façons de se protéger et de protéger les autres :
• S’assurer de savoir comment arrêter le moteur rapidement et bien
comprendre le fonctionnement des commandes.
• Ne jamais permettre à qui que ce soit de mettre le moteur en
marche avant d’avoir compris toutes les directives.
• Ne jamais permettre à un enfant de démarrer le moteur.
•Tenir les enfants et les animaux domestiques éloignés de la zone
de travail.
Précautions à prendre lorsqu’on fait le plein : LAISSER
REFROIDIR LE MOTEUR. L’essence est une substance
extrêmement inflammable qui peut faire exploser les vapeurs
environnantes. Faire le plein à l’extérieur, dans un endroit bien aéré,
une fois le moteur arrêté. Ne jamais fumer à proximité de l’essence.
Éviter de créer des étincelles et des flammes. Toujours entreposer
l’essence dans un contenant approuvé. En cas de déversement,
déplacer le compresseur avant de démarrer le moteur.
Risques associés au monoxyde de carbone : les gaz
d’échappement contiennent du monoxyde de carbone toxique. Éviter
d’inhaler ces gaz. Ne jamais faire fonctionner le moteur dans un
garage fermé ou un espace clos.

Inspection du compresseur
Inspecter le compresseur afin de s’assurer qu’il n’y a aucun signe
évident ou dissimulé de dommages causés durant le transport; le cas
échéant, signaler immédiatement tout dommage au transporteur.
S’assurer que toutes les pièces endommagées sont remplacées et
que tous les problèmes mécaniques sont corrigés avant de faire
fonctionner le compresseur. Le numéro de série du compresseur d’air
est indiqué sur le couvercle de protection de ce dernier. Écrire le
numéro de série dans l’espace réservé à cette fin dans la section
« Information sur les services », pour toute consultation ultérieure.
Caractéristiques du compresseur d’air
D
EWALT
Vanne pilote :
Les vannes pilotes servent à maintenir
une plage de pressions constante lorsque
l’outil est en mode de fonctionnement
continu. On peut utiliser ce dispositif pour
commander la soupape de décompression de la conduite de
décharge ou celui situé sur la tête de compresseur. Le compresseur
d’air D
EWALT se décharge par la tête de compresseur lorsque les
bâches de récupération (réservoirs) atteignent la pression de
déclenchement réglée en usine. La vanne pilote s’ouvre et actionne le
dispositif de décompression, ce qui permet au compresseur de
fonctionner en mode de décompression. Lorsque la pression des
réservoirs descend jusqu’à la pression d’enclenchement réglée en
usine, la vanne pilote se ferme, ce qui permet au dispositif de
décompression de se fermer et au compresseur de pomper de
nouveau l’air dans les réservoirs.
Dispositif de blocage manuel
Le dispositif de blocage manuel permet de décharger le compresseur
manuellement lorsqu’il y a une pression d’air dans le réservoir. Pour
faire fonctionner le dispositif de décompression de la tête, tourner le
levier à bascule jusqu’à une position en ligne (lignes pointillées), en
s’assurant de remettre le levier en position de chargement après avoir
mis le moteur en marche. Sinon, la pompe ne fonctionnera pas aux
pressions préétablies.
SOUPAPE DE SÛRETÉ
Cette soupape sert à empêcher les pannes en libérant de la pression
du système lorsque l’air comprimé atteint un niveau de pression
préétabli. Elle est préréglée en usine et ne doit pas être modifiée de
quelque manière que ce soit.
ROBINET DE PURGE DU RÉSERVOIR
D’AIR
Le robinet de purge (A) sert à éliminer
l’humidité du réservoir d’air après l’arrêt du
compresseur.
FILTRE À AIR
Ce filtre (B) sert à purifier l’air qui entre dans la
pompe. Pour être sûr que la pompe reçoit un
flux constant d’air pur, frais et sec, toujours
s’assurer que le filtre est propre et que l’entrée
d’air est exempte de toute obstruction.
MANOMÈTRE DU RÉSERVOIR
Le manomètre indique la pression dans le
réservoir d’air.
MANOMÈTRE RÉGULÉ
Le manomètre régulé indique la pression d’air
à la sortie du régulateur. Cette pression est
contrôlée par le régulateur, et elle est toujours inférieure ou égale à
celle du réservoir d’air.
RÉGULATEUR DE PRESSION
Le bouton du régulateur contrôle la pression provenant du réservoir
d’air.
