DAMAGE: Each air compressor outfit is carefully tested and
checked before shipment. With improper handling, damage
may result in transit and cause problems in compressor opera-
tion.
Immediately upon arrival, check equipment for both concealed
and visible damages to avoid expenses being incurred to
correct such problems. This should be done regardless of any
visible signs of damage to the shipping container. If this product
was shipped directly to you, report any damages to carrier and
arrange for inspection of goods immediately.
When the tank pressure drops to a certain low level the motor will
restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor
automatically restarts is called “cut-in pressure.”
Cut-Out Pressure: When you turn on your air compressor and
it begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds
to a certain high pressure before the motor automatically shuts off
- protecting your air tank from pressure higher than its capacity.
The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called “cut-out
pressure.”
U.L. Listed: Products with the U.L. mark are listed by Underwrit-
ers Laboratories, Inc. (U.L.). Samples of these products have
been evaluated by U.L. and meet the applicable U.L. standards for
safety.
CFM: Cubic feet per minute.
SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air
delivery.
PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of
pressure.
ASME: American Society of Mechanical Engineers; made,
tested, inspected and registered to meet the standards of ASME.
California Code: Unit may comply with California Code 462 (L)
(2)/(M) (2). Specification/model label is on the side of the tank on
units that comply with California Code.
Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops
as you continue to use your accessory or air tool.
All DeVilbiss Air Power manufactured air compressors should
be operated on not more than a 50% duty cycle. This means an
air compressor that pumps air more than 50% of one hour is
considered misuse, because the air compressor is undersized
for the required air demand. Maximum compressor pumping
time per hour is 30 minutes.
You have purchased an air compressor unit consisting of a 1
cylinder, single-stage air compressor pump, an air tank, and
associated controls and instruments.
This air compressor requires no oil. Now you can enjoy all the
benefits of having an air compressor without ever having to
purchase, add or change oil.
Your air compressor can be used for operating paint spray
guns, air tools, caulking guns, grease guns, air brushes,
sandblaster, or inflating tires and plastic toys, spraying weed
killers, insecticides, etc. An air pressure regulator is necessary
for most of these applications.
Separate air transformers which combine the functions of air
regulation and/or moisture and dirt removal should be used where
applicable.
