Cooling System (not shown): This compressor contains an advanced design cooling system. At the heart of this cooling system is an engineered fan. It is perfectly normal for this fan to blow air through the vent holes in large amounts. You know that the cooling system is working when air is being expelled.

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.

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.

Hose Wrap: Conveniently stores up to 50 feet of air hose.

How to Use Your Unit

How to Stop:

1.Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF".

Before First Start-up

Break-in instructions

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.

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 (counterclockwise) to permit air to escape and prevent air pressure build up in the air tank during the break-in period.

NOTE: Always drain tank on a washable surface or in a suitable container to prevent damaging or staining surfaces.
