Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the
base of the air tank and is used to drain
condensation at the end of each use.
Cooling System (not shown): This compressor
contains an advanced 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 (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.
Motor Overload Protector: 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.

Break-in instructions
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.
NOTE: If quick connect is installed, 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.)
