Drain Valve (not shown): The drain
valve is located at the base of the air
tank and is used to drain condensation
at the end of each use.
Check
Valve:
Check Valve
When the
air com-
pressor is
operating,
the check
valve is
"open",
allowing 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.
Pressure Release Valve: The pressure
release valve
located on
the side of
the pressure
switch, is
designed to
automatically
release com-
pressed air
from the
compressor head and the outlet tube
when the air compressor reaches "cut-
out" pressure or is shut off. The pressure
release valve allows the motor to 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
after the unit reaches "cut-out" pressure.
Motor Overload Protector (not
shown): 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 com-
pressor will automatically restart after
the motor cools.

HOW TO USE YOUR UNIT
How to Stop:
1. Set the On/Auto/Off lever to "Off".
Before Starting
read and understand this instruction
manual for safety, operation and
maintenance instructions.
Break-in Procedure
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 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.)
3. Open the drain valve
(counterclockwise) fully 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 by turning clockwise. The
air receiver will fill to "cut-out"
pressure and the motor will stop.
The compressor is now ready for use.
