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.
Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the
Drain
Valve
air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of
each use.
Check Valve:Whentheaircompressorisoperating,the

out" pressure, the check valve "closes", allowing
air pressure to remain inside the air tank.
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.
HOW TO USE YOUR UNIT
How to Stop

1. MakesuretheOn/Offswitchisinthe"Off"position.
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(counterclockwise)fullytopermitairtoescapeandpre-
vent air pressure build up in the air tank during the break-in period.
4. MovetheOn/Offswitchto"On"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byturningclockwise.Theairreceiver
will fill to "cut-out" pressure and the motor will stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.
Before Each Start-Up
1. SettheOn/Offswitchto"Off".
2. Turn the regulator knob counter-clockwise to set the outlet pressure to zero.
3. Attachhoseandaccessories.
Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose in hand when
