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 continuous leaking after unit reaches "cut-out" pressure.

Break-in instructions

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.

NOTE: If quick connect is installed, pull coupler back until it clicks to prevent air from escaping through the quick connect.

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 fully prevent air pressure build

(counter-clockwise) to permit air to escape and up in the air tank during the break-in period.

4.Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "ON/AUTO" 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 (clockwise). The air receiver will fill to "cut-out" pressure and the motor will stop.

The compressor is now ready for use.
