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

Check Valve

compressed air to enter the air tank. When the

 

air compressor reaches "cut-out” pressure, the

 

check valve "closes”, allowing air pressure to

 

remain inside the air tank.

 

How to Use Your Unit

How to Stop:

1.Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "OFF".

Before First Start-up

Break-in Procedure

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: Pull coupler back until it clicks to

 

 

prevent air from escaping through the

Quick

quick connect.

Connect

2. Plug the power cord into the correct

 

branch circuit receptacle. (Refer to

 

Voltage and Circuit Protection

On/Auto/

paragraph in the Installation section

Off Lever

of this manual.)

 

3. Open the drain valve fully

Regulator

(counterclockwise) to permit air to

 

escape and prevent air pressure

 

build up in the air tank during the break-in period.

4.Move the On/Auto/Off lever to "ON/AUTO" position. The compressor will start.

5.Run the compressor for 15 minutes. Make sure the drain valve is open and there is minimal air pressure build-up in tank.

6.After 15 minutes, close the drain valve (clockwise). The air receiver will fill to "cut-out" pressure and the motor will stop.

The compressor is now ready for use.
