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 run-
ning, 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” pres-
sure.

Before Starting
Break-in Procedure
Serious damage (for units with a tank) 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: 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.
4. Move the On/Auto/Off lever to "ON/AUTO" position. The compressor will
start.
5. Run the compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure the drain valve is open and
there is minimal air pressure build-up in tank.
6. After 15 minutes, close the drain valve (clockwise). The air receiver will fill
to “cut-out” pressure and the motor will stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.
How to Use Your Unit
How to Stop:

Before Each Start-Up:
1. Place On/Auto/Off lever to “OFF”.
2. Pull regulator knob out, turn counterclockwise until it stops. Push knob in
to lock in place.
3. Attach hose and accessories. NOTE: The hose or accessory will require a
