DeVillbiss Air Power Company 38301-9615, MG2-OFTANK-4A Glossary, Duty Cycle, General Information

GLOSSARY

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.

ASME: American Society of Mechanical Engineers; made, tested, inspected and registered to meet the standards of ASME.

California Code: Unit may comply with California Code 462 (L) (2)/(M) (2). Specification/model label is on the side of the tank on units that comply with California Code.

Cut-In Pressure: While the motor is off, air tank pressure drops as you continue to use your accessory or air tool.

When the tank pressure drops to a certain low level the motor will restart automatically. The low pressure at which the motor automatically restarts is called “cut-in pressure.”

Cut-Out Pressure: When you turn on your air compressor and it 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 pressure higher than its capacity. The high pressure at which the motor shuts off is called “cut-out pressure.”

U.L. Listed: Products with the U.L. mark are listed by Underwrit- ers Laboratories, Inc. (U.L.). Samples of these products have been evaluated by U.L. and meet the applicable U.L. standards for safety.

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 minutes.

GENERAL INFORMATION

You have purchased an air compressor unit consisting of a 1 cylinder, single-stage air compressor pump, an air tank, and associated controls and instruments.

This air compressor requires no oil. Now you can enjoy all the benefits of having an air compressor without ever having to purchase, add or change oil.

Your air compressor can be used for operating paint spray

guns, air tools, caulking guns, grease guns, air brushes, sandblaster, or inflating tires and plastic toys, spraying weed killers, insecticides, etc. An air pressure regulator is necessary for most of these applications.

Separate air transformers which combine the functions of air regulation and/or moisture and dirt removal should be used where applicable.

ON-RECEIPT INSPECTION

DAMAGE: Each air compressor outfit is carefully tested and checked before shipment. With improper handling, damage may result in transit and cause problems in compressor opera- tion.

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 container. If this product was shipped directly to you, report any damages to carrier and arrange for inspection of goods immediately.
