Motor Thermal Overload Protector (not shown): The

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dipstick

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.

and ventilation openings free from obstructions. See

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Maintenance".

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Check Valve: When the air compressor is operating,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Air Intake

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

How to Use Your Unit

How to Stop:

1.Set the On/Auto/Off lever to “OFF”.

Before Starting

Break-in Procedure

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.
