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 (not
shown): 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.
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.
How to Use Your Unit
How to Stop:
1. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to
"Off".
Before Starting
Break-in Procedure
Risk of Unsafe
Operation. Serious
damage may result if the following
break-in instructions are not
closely followed.
Pressure
Release
Valve
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.
NOTE: Pull coupler back until it clicks
to prevent air from escaping through
the quick connect.
3.
Plug the power cord into the
correct branch circuit receptacle.
(Refer to "Voltage and Circuit
Protection" paragraph in the
Installation section of this
manual.)
4. Open the drain valve (counter-
clockwise) fully to permit 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
compressor will start.
6. Run the compressor for 20
minutes. Make sure the drain
valve is open and there is
minimal air pressure build-up in
tank.
7. After 20 minutes, close the drain
valve by turning clockwise. The
air receiver will fill to "cut-out"
pressure and the motor will
stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.
Before Each Start-Up:
1. Place On/Auto/Off lever to "Off".
2. Pull the regulator knob out and
turn counterclockwise to set the
outlet pressure to zero.
3. Attach hose and accessories.
NOTE: The hose or accessory
will require a quick connect plug
if the air outlet is equipped with a
quick connect socket.
