Before Starting
Break-in instructions
Risk of Unsafe
Operation.
Serious
damage may result if the fol-
lowing 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 pre-
vent air from escaping through the
quick connect.
2.
Plug the power cord into the cor-
rect branch circuit receptacle.
(Refer to Voltage and Circuit
Protection paragraph in the
Installation section of this manu-
al.)
3. Open the drain valve fully (count-
er-clockwise) to permit air to
escape and prevent air pressure
build up in the air tank during the
break-in period.
4. Move the On/Auto/Off lever to
"ON/AUTO" position. The com-
pressor will start.

design cooling system. At the heart of
this cooling system is an engineered
fan. It is perfectly normal for this fan
to blow air through the vent holes in
large amounts. You know that the
cooling system is working when air is
being expelled.
Air Compressor Pump:
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.
Drain Valve: The drain valve is locat-
ed at the base of the air tank and is
used to drain condensation at the
end of each use.
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.
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
seconds. No air should be heard
leaking when the motor is running, or
continuous leaking after unit reaches
"cut-out" pressure.
