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”.
Before Starting
Break-in Procedure
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.
Recheck all wiring. Make sure wires are secure at all terminals connections.
Make sure all contacts move freely and are not obstructed.
3. Open the globe valve fully to permit air to escape and prevent air pressure
build up in the air tank during the break-in period. NOTE: The shut-off
valve is not supplied with this unit. You must purchase the shut-off
valve separately.
4. Move the On/Auto/Off lever to “ON/AUTO” position. The compressor will
start.
5. Run the compressor for 20 minutes. Make sure the globe valve is open
and there is minimal air pressure build-up in tank.
