Motor
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.
If the overload protector shuts the motor off frequently, check for a possible voltage
problem. Low voltage can also be suspected when:
1. The motor does not get up to full power or speed.
2. Fuses blow out when starting the motor; lights dim and remain dim when motor
is started and/or is running.

STORAGE
Before you store the air compressor, make sure you do the following:
1. Review the "Maintenance" section on the preceding pages and perform sched-
uled maintenance as necessary.
2. Set the “ON/AUTO” lever to “OFF”.
3. Turn the regulator counterclockwise and set the outlet pressure to zero.
4. Remove the air tool or accessory.
5. Pull ring on safety valve allowing air to bleed from the tank until tank pressure is
approximately 20 psi. Release safety valve ring.
6. Drain water from air tank by opening drain cock valve on bottom of tank.
WATER WILL CONDENSE IN THE AIR TANK. IF NOT
DRAINED, WATER WILL CORRODE AND WEAKEN THE AIR TANK
CAUSING A RISK OF AIR TANK RUPTURE.
7. After the water has been drained, close the drain cock or drain valve.
NOTE
If drain cock valve is plugged, release all air pressure. The valve can then
be removed, cleaned, then reinstalled.
8. Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage (such as being stepped on
or run over). Wind them loosely around the compressor handle. (If so equipped)
Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location.
