Glossary

CFM: Cubic feet per minute
SCFM: Standard cubic feet perminute; a unit of measure
for air delivery.
PSlG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure
for pressure.
ASME: American Society of Mechanical Engineers.
California Code: Unit may comply with California Code
462 (I) (2)/(M) (2).
Cut-In Pressure: The air compressor will automatically
start to refill thetank when the pressure drops
below the prescribed minimum.
Cut-Out Pressure: The point atwhich the motor stops
when the tank has reached maximum air
pressure.
Code Certification: Products that bear one or more of
the following marks: UL,CUL, ETL, CETL, have
been evaluated by OSHA-certified independent
safety laboratories and meet the applicable
Underwriters Laboratories Standards for Safety.
Duty Cycle
This is a 50% dutycycle air compressor. Do notrun the air compressor more than 30 minutes ofone hour. Doing so
could damage the air compressor.
Parts & Features
See figures belowfor reference.
Drain Valve: Used to drain condensation fromthe airtank.
Located at bottom of tank.
Motor Thermal Overload: The motor has an automatic
thermal overload protector. Ifthe motoroverheats, this
protector will shutoff the motor. The motor must be
allowed 30 minutes to cool before restarting.
Quick Connect: Offers a quick release feature for
attaching and removing the air hose.
Pressure Switch: This controls the power to the motor
and also the cut-in/cut-out pressure settings. This switch
serves as the Auto-On/Off positions forthe unit.
Air Intake Filter: Provides clean air to the pump and
must always be kept free of debris. Check on a daily basis
Air Compressor Pump: Oil lubricated direct driven pump
that compresses air which is distributed to the tank (not
shown).
Check Valve: When the pump is not in operation the
valve closes to retain air pressure inside the tank. An
internal component. Pressure Relief

Pressure Relief Valve; The pressure relief valve located
on the side of the pressure switch, is designed to
automatically release compressed air when the air
compressor reaches cut-out pressure. The released air
should only escape momentarily and the valve should then
close.
Tank Safety Valve: Used to allow excess tank pressure to
escape into the atmosphere. This valve should only open
when the tank pressure is above the maximum rated
pressure.
Outlet Pressure Gauge: Indicates the outgoing air
pressure to the tool and is controlledby the regulator.
Tank Pressure Gauge: Indicates the reserve air pressure
in the tank.
Regulator; The air pressure coming from the air tank is
controlled by the regulator. To increase the pressure turn
the knob clockwise and to decrease the pressure turn the
knob counterclockwise.
