Check Valve: When the air compres-
sor is operating, the check valve is
"open", allowing compressed air to
enter the air tank. When the air com-
pressor reaches "cut-out"
pressure,
the check valve "closes", allowing air
pressure to remain inside the air tank.
Check Valve
Pressure Release Valve: The pres-
sure release valve located on the side
of the pressure switch, is designed to
automatically release compressed
air
from the compressor head and the
outlet tube when the air compressor
reaches "cut-out"
pressure or is shut
off. The pressure release valve allows
the motor to restart freely. When the
motor stops running, air will be heard
escaping from this valve for a few sec-
onds.
No air should be heard leaking
when the motor is running or after the
unit reaches "cut-out"
pressure.
Motor Overload
Protector:
This
motor has a manual thermal overload
protector. If the motor overheats for
any reason, the overload protector
will shut off the motor. The motor
must be allowed to cool down before
restarting.
To restart:
1.
Place the On/
Auto/Off
lever in the
"Off" posi-
tion.
2.
Allow the
motor to
cool.
3.
Depress the red reset button on
the motor.
4.
Place the On/Auto/Off lever in the
"On/Auto" postion to restart the
motor.
Air Intake Filter (not shown): This
filter is designed to clean air com-
ing into the pump. This filter must
always be clean and ventilation
openings free from obstructions.
See
"Maintenance".
HOW TO USE YOUR
UNiT
How to Stop:
1
Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "Off"
Before Starting
_Do
not operate this
unit until you read
and understand
this instruction
manual for safety, operation
and
maintenance
instructions.
Break-in
Procedure
_Risk
of Property
Damage. Serious
damage may result if the following
break-in instructions are not
closely followed.
This procedure is required before the
air compressor is put into service and
when the check valve or a complete
compressor
pump has been replaced.
1.
Make sure the On/Auto/Off
lever
is in the "Off" position.
2.
Check oil level in pump. See "Oil"
paragraph in the Maintenance
section for instructions.
3.
Recheck all wiring. Make sure
wires are secure at all terminals
connections. Make sure all con-
tacts move freely and are not
obstructed.
4.
Open the globe valve fully to per-
mit air to escape and prevent air
pressure build up in the air tank
during the break-in period.
5.
Move the On/Auto/Off lever to
"On/Auto" position. The compres-
sor will start.
6.
Run the compressor for 20 min-
utes. Make sure the globe valve
is open and there is minimal air
pressure build-up in tank.
