Air Compressor
Pump (not
shown): Compresses air into the
air tank. Working air is not available
until the compressor
has raised the
air tank pressure above that
required at the air outlet.
Check Valve: When the air
compressor
is operating,
the check
valve is
"open",
allowing
compressed
air to enter
the air tank.
When the air
compressor
reaches "cut-out"
pressure, the check valve "closes",
allowing air pressure to remain inside
the air tank.
Pressure Release Valve: The
pressure 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
seconds.
No air should be heard
leaking when the motor is running, or
continuous leaking after unit reaches
"cut-out"
pressure.
Air Intake Filter (not shown): This
filter is designed to clean air coming
into the pump. This filter must always
be clean and ventilation openings
free from obstructions.
See
"Maintenance".
Motor Overload
Protector: The
motor has an automatic reset 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.
The
compressor
will automatically
restart
after the motor cools.
How to Use Your Unit
How to Stop:
1.
Set the On/Auto/Off
lever to
"OFF".
Before
First Start Up:
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.
NOTE: If quick connect is installed,
pull coupler back until it clicks to
prevent air from escaping through the
quick connect.
2.
Plug the power cord into the
correct branch circuit receptacle.
(Refer to Voltage and Circuit
Protection paragraph
in the
Installation section of this
manual.)
