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.
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 after the unit reaches "cut-out" pressure.
Motor Overload Protector (not shown): 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.
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".
How to Use Your Unit
How to Stop:
1. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "
Off".
Before Starting
Break-in Procedure
Risk of Unsafe Operation. 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. Check oil level in pump. See "Oil" paragraph in the "Maintenance" section
for instructions.
NOTE: Pull coupler back until it clicks to prevent air from escaping through the
quick connect.
3.
Plug the power cord into the correct branch circuit receptacle.
(Refer to
"Voltage and Circuit Protection" paragraph in the "Installation" section of
this manual.)
4. Open the drain valve (counter-clockwise) fully to permit air to escape and
prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during the break-in period.
5. Move the On/Auto/Off lever to "On/Auto" position. The compressor will start.
6. Run the compressor for
20 minutes. Make sure the drain valve is open and
there is minimal air pressure build-up in tank.
7. After 20 minutes, close the drain valve by turning clockwise. The air
receiver will fill to "cut-out" pressure and the motor will stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.
