Drain
Valve

Drain Valve: The drain valve is located at the base of the air tank and is used to drain condensation at the end of each use.

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

 

 

 

 

Check Valve

 

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

Pressure

the air compressor reaches “cut-out” pressure or is

Release

shut off. The pressure release valve allows the motor to

Valve

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.

 

Motor Overload Protector: The 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.

How to Use Your Unit

How to Stop:

1.Set the On/Auto/Off lever to “OFF”.

2.Unplug compressor.

Before Starting

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.)
