This air compressor pump is capable of running continuously. However, in order to pro-
long the life of your air compressor, it is recommended that a 50% to 75% average duty
cycle be maintained. Duty cycle refers to the percentage of time a compressor can safe-
ly run within a given amount of time expressed as a ratio. Example: Oil lubricated com-
pressors are typically rated at a 50% duty cycle, meaning that the compressor motor can
run about 50% of the total time it is being used to supply air to a tool. During the ON time,
the motor is running to pressurize the tank. During the OFF time, the motor is stopped
and the tools are running off on the pressurized air stored in the tank. If your air tools are
draining pressure off of the tank too quickly, the compressor motor must run more than
50% of the time the compressor is in use. This can lead to overheating and will signifi-
cantly shorten the life of the compressor.
