ON-RECEIPT INSPECTION

Each air compressor outfit is carefully checked before shipment. With improper handling, damage may result in transit and cause problems in air compressor operation.

Immediately upon arrival, check equipment for both concealed and visible damages to avoid expenses being incurred to correct such problems. This should be done regardless of any visible signs of damage to the shipping con- tainer.

Report any damages to carrier and arrange for inspection of goods immediate- ly.

For the location or a listing of the nearest Authorized Warranty Service Center, call our toll free number at 1-800-888-2468, Ext. 2.

GLOSSARY

Become familiar with these terms before operating the unit. CFM: Cubic feet per minute.

SCFM: Standard cubic feet per minute; a unit of measure of air delivery.

PSIG: Pounds per square inch gauge; a unit of measure of 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.

Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you contin- ue to use your accessory. When the tank pressure drops to a certain low level the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor auto- matically restarts is called “cut-in” pressure.

Cut-Out Pressure: When an air compressor is turned on and begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to a certain high pressure before the motor automatically shuts off - protecting your air tank from pres- sure higher than its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called “cut-out” pressure.

Branch Circuit: Circuit carrying electricity from electrical panel to outlet.

DUTY CYCLE

Air compressors should be operated on not more than a 50% duty cycle. This means an air compressor that pumps air more than 50% of one hour is consid- ered misuse, because the air compressor is undersized for the required air demand. Maximum compressor pumping time per hour is 30 minutes.
