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",
a!lowing 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 after the unit
reaches "cut-out"
pressure.
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

Before
First
Start-up
Risk of Unsafe
Operation.
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.)
3.
Open the drain valve fully
(counterclockwise)
to permit
air to escape and prevent air
pressure build up in the air tank
during the break-in period.
NOTE: Always drain tank on a
washable surface or in a suitable
container to prevent damaging or
staining surfaces.
