DeVillbiss Air Power Company MGP-FAC1025-2 owner manual Glossary

GLOSSARY

SCFM or CFM: Standard Cubic Feet per Minute; a unit of measurement of air delivery.

PSIG or PSI: Pounds per square inch gauge.

CUT-IN PRESSURE: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you continue to use your accessory. When the tank pressure drops to approximately 100 PSI the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at

which the motor automatically re-starts is called "cut-in pressure."

CUT-OUT PRESSURE: When you turn on your air com- pressor and it begins to run, air pressure in the air tank begins to build. It builds to approximately 125 PSI before the motor automatically shuts off .The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called "cut-out pressure."

DUTY CYCLE

All DeVilbiss Air Power manufactured 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 considered misuse, because the air compressor is undersized for the required air demand. Maximum compressor pumping time per hour is 30 min- utes.

STORAGE

When you have finished using the air compressor:

1.Set the "ON/OFF" switch to "OFF" and unplug the cord.

2.Review the "Operating Procedures" section (page 9). Be sure to drain the water from the air tank.

3.Protect the electrical cord and air hose from damage by winding them loosely around the air compressor.

4.Store the air compressor in a clean and dry location.
